Nothing plays on Emby Theater

[Luke 42078]

Some users are reporting trouble with gpu-next, so I've pulled 3.0.21 for now. if you install from the website on top of your existing version, you'll have 3.0.20 again, so you may want to do that.

Thanks Luke, that has fixed it for me.

I had the same issues, files would never load, just spinning circle. Tested with files that played fine last week, etc. Only change appeared to be the Emby Theater update.

Windows Media PC, files would play fine on Roku and Web apps

But my Video Output was set to AUTO. Reverting to previous version has fixed it so far.

Thanks

@generiq- Can you kindly remind me why I would want to use gpu-next over Auto ?

It's the gpu-next that is causing the issue here - set it to Auto (or gpu, or libmpv), and it then works ok.

Thanks !

Auto defaults to gpu/libmpv which clashes with electron. gpu-next uses libplacebo and doesn't clash with electron.

Here's the mpv explanation of why gpu/libmpv has problems

Strange. Seems to be playing OK for me. Can you try restarting the app and seeing if that helps?

I thought you pulled .21 because gpu-next was broken?

Oh I see you already mentioned that, above.

You guys should just replace libmpv with shinchiro's  build. Until softworkz can fix what's happening.
