Hi as title,

 

I watched with problems a movie on fire stick..

 

Randomly the movie freeze and after some seconds (varying) continue..

 

watching anime or tv shows (less heavy) give me no problem..

 

I attach some logs..

 

can you give me some feedback?

Hi there, as a test, can you try turning off the server transcoding throttle feature? It will be in your server dashboard transcoding settings. Then please try to play again. Thanks !

Hi, during the first hour of the movie I stopped and disabled the throttle and for about 30 minutes there were no freeze.. After that the freezes re started happening..

As an additional info I watched the windows task manager when the freeze occurs and I can't see an unusual cpu use..

As you no problem with cpu because the transcode buffer is ok..

 

As additional test I tried lowering the resolution to 1.5mbps and after a couple of minute the movie freezes for a while..

 

I sended a log thruu the firestick app now..

As additional test I tried lowering the resolution to 1.5mbps and after a couple of minute the movie freezes for a while..

 

Can you attach the ffmpeg log from this? thanks.

As a test, can you try a similar video that doesn't have embedded subtitles and see how that compares? do you have any?

I'll try to remux the file mantaining only the italian audio..

 

I'll update you soon..

Well remuxing might fix it as well. You'd have to remux both with and without the subtitles in order to get an accurate comparison.

 

Is this the only file giving you trouble?

I tried to remux with mkvtoolnix with only italian track and no freeze..

Now I'm watching the original file without selecting any subs, and no freeze.. Activating the forced subs after a while the freeze happens..

I think the problem now is clear..

 

Additionally when the freeze appear, if I quickly change from forced sub to no sub the movie resume from freeze instantly...

Can you try again to see if it's consistent? thanks.

I tried 3/4 times.. When the sub is selected after a couple of minutes I have the freezes.. With no subs I played the movie for about 20 minutes without freeze..

 

Additionally when starting to play the movie with sub selected the movie hangs a while to start, starting with no subs the movie start

immediately..

 

I tried another movie with forced subs and no problem detected..

 

The movie with problems played on chromecast has no problem..

As you no problem with cpu because the transcode buffer is ok..

 

As additional test I tried lowering the resolution to 1.5mbps and after a couple of minute the movie freezes for a while..

 

I sended a log thruu the firestick app now..

 

 

Can you follow the instructions at the bottom here to submit an in-app log:

https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/739-how-to-report-a-problem/

 

Thanks.

 

as you see above I'd just sent a in-app log..

 

did you seen it on that timestamp?

 Reproduce your problem and then use this button to send the log.  Then add the following information to your report in the forum:

 

  • Exactly what you were doing and what happened.  Include the name of whatever you played if it is a playback problem

  • The time you sent the log

  • The name of the Emby user on the local server that was logged in at the time

There appears to only be a tiny bit of playback in that log and I can't see anything that would necessarily indicate any problem on the app end.

the log is about:

1. start play

2. after 2 minutes freeze

3. stop play

4. send log

 

I think the problem is on the app side because on these specific file if I choose no subs the play has no freeze...

playing on chromecast is ok..

It appears to be related to the way we are sending the subs to the app but we're still trying to investigate.
