naf623 10 Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 I've been noticing that in both Chrome and Firefox, when I leave a video paused for a long period and come to unpause, it's like the video has stopped altogether. Sometimes the pause frame is visible, but when I move the mouse around the elements of the UI appear as the cursor touches them; and sometimes I'm just kicked back to the UI altogether already. But when I press space to unpause, it does start playing again. Is this something new and deliberate, or something at my end?
Luke 39629 Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 Hi, that's strange. Thanks for reporting. @@arrbee99 have you seen this before?
arrbee99 1693 Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 Shall check a bit later. Looks like I have to download the beta again - bit of a mains power failure.
arrbee99 1693 Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 Just tried in Firefox so far, started a movie, paused for 40min, resumed, paused for 40min again, resumed again. Seemed fine to me. The paused image was there as expected. Played fine. Am just having a go in Chrome. Have seen it occasionally do weird things in the past, not yet with .28. In Firefox occasionally when I go back to the dashboard page to look at it after being away a while it would have a movie background on the dashboard. Think I would set the background to dark and go back to it later and its gone back to light. Maybe there's a connection. Maybe that's gone now.
arrbee99 1693 Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 Also seems to be OK for me in Chrome, pausing, playing, pausing, playing all OK. This is with a Direct Streaming movie. So far.
naf623 10 Posted March 31, 2020 Author Posted March 31, 2020 Sorry, I didn't get any notification of your replies and things got a bit crazy. I'll have to do more testing (my day job too haha) and see if I can pin it down to a timescale. I'm definitely seeing it after leaving it paused overnight, and sometimes after a few hours; but no, 40 mins is fine indeed.
Luke 39629 Posted April 1, 2020 Posted April 1, 2020 Is it necessary to leave it paused overnight? I mean yes of course we should handle it, but long pauses do present more challenges than just pausing for a few minutes.
naf623 10 Posted April 2, 2020 Author Posted April 2, 2020 Not necessary, of course, and what it's doing isn't awful. It's just new behaviour than what it was doing previously so I wondered about it.
