Hi there, are you still having an issue?

Posted

Yes, I have the directv stream C71KW-400 android tv box.  I use Emby to record live tv then run it through MCE Buddy to delete commercials and transcode to MP4

 

Playback

Emby Ipad, no issues

Emby Apple TV no issues

Emby PC no issues

Emby Android TV DTV Stream C71KW-400 Blue spinning wheel on black screen.  Trying to figure out what is wrong.

Hi. There are no errors.  It looks like you backed out of the playback attempt after only about 5-8 seconds.  Have you tried waiting a little longer for it to start?

Do you use CloudFlare by any chance?

I don't have cloudfare, not sure what that is.  Just running off my local Qnap.  

I have tried many times waiting for minutes.  Can you reproduce if I give you access to my server using android tv?

That would be across a remote connection, not on your local LAN so not a very good test.

Can you try playing it again, wait for a full 2 minutes and then send the log directly from the playback OSD (if available).

Can I please see the server log that goes with that last app log?

Thanks.

Hi.  Do you access your server using DLNA?  If not, can you try turning off the DLNA feature in the server?

Not sure it will impact this but there are DLNA requests happening right in the middle of this playback operation.

No change, same ring of death.

Can you try side-loading this app and see if it has the same issue?

I notice a recent change in Emby playback on my Direct TV Streaming box as well.  I can no longer play videos.  They're stored locally on my network (NAS) and while Emby used to run on the DTV Streaming app, and Plex continues to work properly, I now get a message that I must sign up for Emby service to play videos.  It will access my NAS where files are stored, will list and allow me to select the video to play, but then when I start to play, it gives me the pop-up.  Running Emby on Roku still performs very well, just the app on the DTV Streaming box.

I don’t know how to side load and the dtv usb is disabled. If I use Sonarr everything is fine.  Just Emby recording then MCE buddy does t work

Hi.  This app has always required either Premiere or an app unlock for playback.
