BobbyDing 56 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Hi Folks. When playing "General Hospital" on my wife's PC using Emby Theater, playback video sometimes freezes but audio continues. After a short time the video will play catch-up to the audio, but then freezes again. The server is Emby Unraid 4.0.1.0, and latest Emby Theater. It's playing Direct Play. The shows play fine using the web based client (trans coding). The machine does play MPG2's via the HDHR app just fine, so it should have the horsepower. I'm attaching 2 log files. 1 with and 1 without debug enabled. Thanks! Bobby embyserver_nodebug.txt embyserver_withdebug.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyDing 56 Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) Hi again, So live TV works fine direct streaming.

Luke 37046 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Hi, if you play these files in windows media player, does the same thing happen there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abuthemagician 4 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I have had a similar problem playing media with the same server version and ET from the Windows Store. In my case video and audio freeze. All files play just fine in the Electron version of ET. I can also provide logs if I knew where/how Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can also provide logs if I knew where/how The store app is using the stock windows video player which is not quite as robust as what the desktop app is using (mpv). We plan to incorporate mpv into the store app in a future update. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abuthemagician 4 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Interesting because we ended up using the stock windows "Movies and TV" app. Will wait for the update. Thanks for all you and the other programmers do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all you and the other programmers do! Why wait? Just use the desktop app. It's enormously capable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wife and I only had enough time to watch the show, not for me to install the desktop app, then watch the show. What the Wife wants, the Wife gets. I have since installed the regular desktop app and all works fine again. Was excited about a native app, and still am.

If it's mpv being used in the store app that you're excited about, the desktop app is already using it. That's why I mentioned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37046 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 The plan is to get mpv into the store app as well. It's just a little trickier because we have to figure out xbox one compatibility. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyDing 56 Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 Hi, if you play these files in windows media player, does the same thing happen there? Hi Luke. I'm just getting a few minutes to get back to this. Windows Media Player plays the file fine on the WIN10 PC streaming through the network. The video card is an nVidia Quadro 410 with the latest drivers. It just chokes on 1080i. Transcoded recordings play fine. Does theater do any transcoding? Or is it all done on the server? Thanks, Bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37046 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Depends on which edition of Theater. The store app may require transcoding. The desktop app will not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
