troyhough 57 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37064 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I wonder if timestamps are damaged at that point, and the browser video player just isn't' resilient enough to overcome that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troyhough 57 Posted September 30, 2019 Author Share Posted September 30, 2019 Ok so playback still freezes on Chrome Android Emby Web where commercials are ripped. Here is a short video recorded from yesterday, about 20 minutes in length: http://troyhough.com/Nebraska.ts Playback freezes @ 3:07, 6:28, 10:08, and 13:06 The server Dashboard shows that the video is fully transcoded however it fails to fully download and/or buffer/playback. Logs are attached. embyserver.txt ffmpeg-transcode-2c9183be-6993-41a2-a54f-e5d58bd188a3_1.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troyhough 57 Posted September 30, 2019 Author Share Posted September 30, 2019 Is it possible to make the web player more "robust" like the official app player, which seems to not have issues with playback where commercials are ripped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troyhough 57 Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 I noticed today my Web App is showing version 4.2.0.66 Is there a changelog link somewhere that posts changes/updates to each new version? Is the "more robust web player" aspect being worked on to fix the freezes where commercials are ripped out? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37064 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 If you follow the beta server release notes, the online web app gets the same changes as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
