Hi all,

 

I have moved to the Web client for mobile use after giving up on the Android app. I have been pleased with it for the most part!

 

One major problem I have found is playback pauses on my Live TV content when it gets to a point where a commercial has been stripped out. I use Plex Server to record TV shows/movies since commercial stripping is built-in. Works very well.

 

Here are my test results from a few different platforms:

 

Playback pauses where a commercial has been stripped out:

 

chrome mobile

chrome desktop

brave mobile

brave desktop

 

Playback works as it should:

 

edge desktop

ie desktop

firefox desktop

I wonder if timestamps are damaged at that point, and the browser video player just isn't' resilient enough to overcome that.

The recordings work flawlessly on:

 

edge desktop

ie desktop

firefox desktop

Emby Android app

Emby Android TV app

Plex web desktop

Plex web mobile

Plex Android app

Is this something that can be fixed?

[Luke]

Can you provide a sample video for testing? Thanks.

[troyhough]

Sure. File sizes are huge. Do you want me to zip and send you a link?

[Luke]

Sure, thanks.

[troyhough]

Sure, thanks.

 

Hey @Luke, just sent you a PM. Thanks

@Luke

Did you replicate the problem/figure out a fix?

 

Thanks, appreciate it.

[Luke]

Thank you for your patience.

[troyhough]

This is still happening. It's a huge hassle to watch something that I record.

 

Is this being looked at/fixed?

 

Thanks

[Luke]

It's on our list for review, thanks.

Hello,

Just circling the wagon to see if this is being worked on? It's been 3 months and the problem still persists.

 

Thanks in advance.

@softworkz can test your sample file. Thanks.

[troyhough]

@softworkz can test your sample file. Thanks.

 

Does he have it or do I/you need to send it to him?

[Luke]

I think I added him to the PM a while back but if possible you may want to start a new one and send it to him. Thanks.

[troyhough]

Will do. Thanks @Luke
