Live TV Random pauses on Shield in Seek Mode

[upsidedowntruth 0]

I just installed Emby again last night and I am trying live TV with 2 HDHomeRuns one is a Quattro and the other is a Prime.  Channels tune in, but slow in seek mode.  I also notice random audio drops and pauses.  I am using a Shield as a player an a WD PR2100 for the server using quick sync.  Any ideas how to get better performance?

Sorry for the late response..  I reinstalled using the beta and doing some more testing and haven’t noticed it again.. not seeing the audio drops anymore.  Still slow loading a channel however..

If you select the option to direct play live TV tuning will be MUCH faster and then you can switch to seek mode when you need to.

Thanks, I tried that and it is much faster..  Just curious why an iPhone can tune so fast and still use seek mode without switching?

It is using a different player with a different buffering mechanism.  A cost of that is your seek/pause buffer is much less.
