bcm00re 18 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) What error? The one shown in the first post in this thread: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/81457-roku-fails-to-play-large-recorded-files/ Edited January 28, 2020 by bcm00re Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcm00re 18 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) In the log, I first attempted to play it on the Roku 3 around 12:10 (got the error) then I went to my Roku Express at about 12:13 and played it without issue (for about a minute).

ebr 14939 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Is the one that won't play it having to transcode (or remux it)? That would cause the same issue as when it was a different file format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcm00re 18 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 The Express that plays it fine is only connected via WiFi whereas the 3 (that can't) has a wired connection. Neither one has any bandwidth restrictions setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcm00re 18 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 All other things (Live TV & recorded shows) are playing fine on the Roku 3. I guess the log didn't offer much help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14939 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Is an ffmpeg log created for the one that doesn't work? If so, it is the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcm00re 18 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 No ffmpeg log -- the last one I see was yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcm00re 18 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) The file is question plays fine on my 2016 Roku Premiere, 2017 Roku Express+, and 2016 Roku Express. It does not play on my 2013 Roku 3 or 2013 Roku LT. I could understand the LT having problems because it is 'underpowered', but 2016 Express and 2013 Roku 3 are effectively equals -- both have 900MHz processors and 512MB of memory (with 256MB for channels). Yet one will play it and the other cannot. Edited January 28, 2020 by bcm00re Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speechles 1920 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) What is the media information for that file from the bottom of the web app? The 2013 versions of the Roku 3 and Roku LT are Broadcom(BCM) devices. The others you mention are Mstar devices. That is the difference. Some of the Broadcom devices are not as capable as the Mstar devices are. Knowing the media information would confirm that fact or at least give clues to why Broadcom doesn't like that flavor of media. Once you supply that we can see what exactly is causing the Roku to flake out. Thanks and apologies you have issues.

bcm00re 18 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) @speechless I noted the difference in processor brands and wondered if that might be it. The details of the file I am trying to play are in this post in another thread: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/81692-emby-wont-play-nfl-playoff-game/page-2&do=findComment&comment=835526 That thread also has the details of the original file -- that I ran Emby Covert on -- if those details are needed to. No need to apologize; hopefully you guys can determine a fix. Thanks! Edited January 29, 2020 by bcm00re Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcm00re 18 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Oddly enough I didn't have any issue playing the Super Bowl recording and I didn't even have to do the Convert. So I'm just going to let the issue go on the playoff game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raker 0 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Es un problema de la app o de las opciones. Emby no reproduce en roku archivos que duran muchas horas. En jellyfin si las reproduce.

softworkz 3341 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Isn't that still the issue that Roku has problems when the byte-size of the HLS playlist is getting too large? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcm00re 18 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 For the record, I saw this issue again late in this past NFL season. I could usually get around it by using HandBrake to re-encode it -- but one time that didn't even work (and I tried several times). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of re-encoding you could also try this: Split it into 2, 4 or 8 parts (without re-encoding) and check whether the smaller parts would play where the complete file has failed to play.

Actually, we need just one half to test and not care about the other. On Windows you could do something like: FSUTIL file seteof <filename> <truncated size> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
