Cannot forward on external player

[Przemek 70]

I have VOD library and I must use external player to watch because I need to download subs. On smartphone and androidTV I cannot skip forward to watch from place I last end.

Hi, if you turn off the subtitles prior to playback, how does that compare?

[Przemek 70]

When I use my Extreme IPTV Pro app to my vod I also open in external player (the same MX player) on same smartphone and there's no problem.

Ps. When I use Emby Theater on Linux desktop that function cause error and don't open any external player.

I add log file and screenshoot when try to play VOD movie in external player on Emby Theater on Linux.

I've never heard of that domain before. Can you please attach the log file here?

That error message needs to be improved - it's not a problem in the app. It means the external player couldn't play the url (for whatever reason).

That is my selfhosted Zipline server. I cannot attach here because it's too big.

Maybe the last several minutes of the log file then?

OK, I will add new log because that was 248 mb.

OK yes this is because the transcoding protocol that we're using for external players is not seekable. Why can't you use the internal player?

I use external player like VLC to download subtitles for vod movies from my IPTV provider.

@LukeI think there's some general linux problem with live tv. I install Nextprv server for recording and also sometimes disconnect but not so often like Emby. On my laptop with Garuda (Arch) only solution to watch without problem I have to use appimage VLC. I try Kodi, VLC from official repo, Kaffeine, Freetuxtv and all have issues. Disconnecting after few seconds or minutes.
On Android smartphone or TV every app I try just works like regular telewision.

@Przemekwhat do you mean by general linux problem exactly?

I mean when I use app on Android it plays my live tv m3u list without any problem. When I use the same list on Linux (Emby on Debian or two archlinux laptops) it always buffer or channels close after some time.
