Randalllind 0 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) I am new and no matter what I do Emby pauses every 30 sec or so when playing movies. I don't see this issue with TV Shows or when I use chrome with my laptop. If anyone know how to fix this please explan. The movies are mp4. I am using ExoPlayer. I tried VLC but it doesn't seem to play anything and MX Player Pro white circle spins. Edited October 2, 2018 by Randalllind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try lowering the bitrate setting in the app. It just sounds like you are trying to play content that the device or network cannot handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decided to sideload the android app and uninstall the Fire TV app and no issues. I have no idea why the Fire TV app has issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mastrmind11 717 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) Where do I get the logs? on the server, wherever the logs are being stored. check the dashboard, down toward the bottom it will outline which directories are used for what.

Randalllind 0 Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share Posted October 4, 2018 LOL, why even have an option for an external player then... VLC all it does on my FTV is really fast gives me like a paragraph of text on why it can't play. MX Player works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randalllind 0 Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) I guess Emby wasn't installed right After I removed the FireTV App and sideloaded the Android and it worked. I removed and reinstalled FTV app and all seems to be fine now. Edited October 4, 2018 by Randalllind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess as to why that would be the case would be due to some option that you changed at some point in the app settings and the uninstall/reinstall set everything back to defaults.
