Errors and Playback issues on Android TV

[jamkel 1]

Hello,

I'm looking for help/advice in troubleshooting an issue I've got with Emby for Android TV. I've previously been using Emby for FireTV however due to needing to buy a new TV i bought a Philips 50PUS7906/12. 

I've found that several videos that work perfectly fine on FireTV and Web no longer play when using Emby for Android TV. To provide context if a problematic video starts to play it with be slow and stuttering with broken audio, I will need to use playback correction twice to resolve the audio problems. In other cases I'm finding that the video just will not start and I'll get the error message too many errors giving up.

I have also sideloaded the Android App but that displays the same behaviour. What I find strange however is that JellyFin will play all videos without an issue.

I am running Emby 4.7.11.0 and have just tested a Movie which didnt work on Emby but does JellyFin. I've sent logs at 20.06 UK (3.06PM EST) - I've attached logs which seem to suggest a permission problem as far as I can see, which I don't understand as this file has the same permissions as every other file in the directory.

So i went in and did a CHMOD to 644 and this resolved the problem for this file! Which I've never had to do before! I'm also unsure why this file worked in JellyFin!

Thanks!

Hi.  So you are all set now?

One of my issues is! It turns out Sabnzb was saving files with odd permissions.

I'm having problems with needing to use playback correction twice with several videos. I'll do a series of tests and collect the logs and times and send a log from the app on the Android TV this afternoon UK time!

Thanks,
