For comparison, are you able to reproduce on the web version http://tv.emby.media

 

Thanks.

Ok, so I have inconsistency. The videos I was able to make it happen with were recorded TV. They are 1080i MPEG2. In the web version, they of course get transcoded, and I was unable to reproduce the problem. I thought that may be due to them being transcoded. So I tested playing some archived shows in the desktop app. I was unable to reproduce the problem. So I'm not sure where to go, with that.

 

@Spotta what videos are getting this with?

[Luke]

Thanks for trying. Yes we might need a little more info about when this happens vs. when it doesn't.

[Spotta]

I'm getting it with every video I try it with which are mainly .mkv both 720 & 1080,  h264 & h265.

I can't try with Emby recordings as I've had to go back to WMC due to my other issue https://emby.media/c...ess-recordings/ which is going nowhere.

I can test some more and provide additional logs / media details if it would help.

I'll to do a little more extensive testing, if I get enough time. I should probably use the same mpv build that you are, too. I may grab theater from Git and run it as a portable with none of my tweaks.

I'm having this issue as well (for the last month or two). It's very inconsistent. If I were to guess, I'd say one out of every 20 times times I start playback, 1-2 minutes in it will randomly start over at the beginning. Don't have any logs (can try to grab next time it happens).

I'll be honest, this is a minor inconvenience compared to not being able to watch in-progress recordings while recording and even when they are finished not until up to the next library scan which happens every 12 hours.

Do you have real time monitoring, enabled? My recordings show up straight away. Having said that, I made a library for my tv recordings which monitors the folder where the server records them.

[Spotta]

Same, and real time monitoring is on, however I'll keep the info to my other thread.

 

480 .mkv's doing the same

It looks like I'm getting the same thing on my xbox copy of ET as well.  Need anything tested there?

[PrincessClevage]

I am also experiencing similar symptoms with ET running on htpc

[Luke]

Yes, the more info the better would be great as far as what conditions this happens under, and when it does not. Thanks.

[Deathsquirrel]

@Luke I'm sending you a server log and media info.  It was How the Grinch Stole Christmas played back to an xbox ET client on the 16th.

[daedalus]

just stumbled over another 2 minutes thing

 

if you hit "back" to exit on the spinning circle while auto advancing to the next episode, ET jumps back to the menu, all good so far, but then, magically after exactly 2 minutes, it starts the episode it was trying to play previously

 

there surely must be some 2 minutes timer anywhere that gets triggered here

[Luke]

That's what i'm trying to hunt down.

[Luke]

This shouldn't be related, but just for testing, can you disable the app's screensaver and then see if it still happens? Thanks.

[daedalus]

i never used the screensaver in ET

[PrincessClevage]

I had some trouble getting a movie to play and then disabled local trailers the the problem video played fine but restarted after 2mins, could it have anything to do with cinema mode? I still have custom intros enabled

If you disable cinema mode, does the issue occur?

[Doofus]

For what it's worth, I reproduced it with cinema mode, disabled.
