Playback stop while transcoding as if episode is ended

[nodiaque 62]

Hello,

I have a little problem I saw happening more then once and I think I finally got the log to help for it. When I'm playing a video that require transcoding (let's say for subtitle using PGSUB for instance that does burnin), sometime, the playback will stop as if I reached the end of the file and start playing the next episode (auto play next episode enable). In the interface, the media is said to have been played completely but it didn't. I can start back the playback and skip to where I was and finish without a problem.

On the server page, I can see the file is 100% ready and transcoded.

It seems to happen more often when I'm playing something that transcode and that I pause it for a certain amount of time and then come back.

Thank you

Just had it happen again where transcoding was applied for subtitles burnin. Didn't pause of anything, it stop at about 1:45min of the end

OK we're looking into it. Thanks.

Got hit again today by that. Was while watching a video with opus audio that was transcode since not supported. 

 

In the end, I just converted all my video with opus to ac3 to fix it. But still annoying.

Well, happened again, this time was doing subtitle burnin, everything else was direct play. I guess there's something wrong with transcoding.

Hi, can we please look at a new log example? Thanks.

Here's a new one. It stopped I think 30 sec before the end. I'm unsure which log is the right one though. I think the small one since I had resume to watch the 4 min remaining (after skipping the end credit).

I had the samething happened today but while watching on Microsoft Edge on Windows. It seems worst when I paused the video and restart. I'm unsure if it does it only when I pause or skip part of the video (like intro). Weird thing is on the server side, I see all the stream is already converted and ready

HI, how does it compare in Chrome ?

[nodiaque 62]

I had the same problem on my lg TV, it's in fact where I saw it first. I have yet to try it on android since I rarely have transcoding on Android. 

 

I don't have chrome, I would have to install it but I don't think it's browser problem since lg TV has the same problem

Hi, are you still having an issue with this?

[nodiaque 62]

was there an update since october 22? I haven't played anything that required transcode since (or if I see transcode is needed, I jump on jellyfin instead).

Have you updated to Emby Server 4.9.1.90? Has that helped?
