HTPC23 4 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Is there any way to improve the performance when rewind/fast forwarding recorded programs? I was hoping it would be more like the speed of a Comcast or DirecTV DVR (almost instant) but when I go to rewind or jump ahead its more like a streaming service where I have to wait for it to reload/buffer. Just curious if maybe I am missing a setting or something or if this is just the way it is? My Setup in case it matters... Home built server (i5, 16GB RAM, shows being recorded to 3TB 7.2k drive) running EMBY and LiveTV HDHomeRun Quadro Over the air Antenna Running Emby thru Roku TV or Roku devices Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy 735 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Try recording to a SSD. Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTPC23 4 Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) I mean I can try that but your DVRs from Comcast/DirecTV/etc use 7.2k or 5.4k drives and dont have this issue. So mainly curious if this just the way it is or if there is way to make it better. @@Sammy - Are you saying you use SSDs and don't have this issue?

Sammy 735 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Yes. Also, Roku may have delays in communicating with Emby Server. @@ebr knows for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I have attached the correct log files. I dont see a Debug option under settings on my TCL Roku TV or my Ultra Roku.

Sammy 735 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I will add that sometimes ffwd and rwd can cause a recording in progress to be unplayable until after the recording finishes which is NOT desired behavior! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceboy 2484 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I don’t see any of this with completed recordings. Occasionally very minor delays in ffwd in in progress recordings. Using the shield as the client Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy 735 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 It happened once or twice to me where trying to ffwd or rwd too much or too often killed playback of the recording in progress. You could watch live but that required skipping over about 20 to 30 minutes of the show. Most recently this was during the Golden Globes. I didn't report it because I don't have time to report every little glitch. AFAIK @@ebr knows this is a sometimes issue with the AndroidTV app. I also use ShieldTV as Clients most everywhere in my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
