HLS broken again on Android 5.0.x?


Recommended Posts

Hello Devs.

 

Yesterday I finally got my 5.x Update. Now it seems that HLS is broken again.

 

My MBA Logfile:

I even noticed that, with HLS off, every skipping within the stream results in a new ffmpeg server instance which is running very long by side with the old instance. This leads to a very huge server load. I can not reproduce this issue with the web interface (Chrome) so I imagine its an MBA issue!?

 

Furthermore it would be nice if the logs will not contain the address of the server or short it down.

I'm having a lot of trouble with my Nexus 10 on Lollipop too. The movies play fine in plex or MX Player, but they stop after a few minutes in MediaBrowser. It is a little better with HLS off, but it still won't play without interruption.

My movies even do not start. I can not see a ffmpeg process is created at the server. Seems that transcoding never starts.

I need to correct my last posting: I got a new update 2.2.03 which fixed my problem. Hls is now working again.

The problem seems still to exist when using an internet connection (and not a direct streaming LAN connection).

Same here, no dice getting HLS to work on 4G. I have an excellent 4G (LTE) connection so its not the connection per say. HLS should work regardless of connection type. Also If I shut off HLS I get a green line at the bottom of the screen that I should be able to fix with overscan settings but there is no way to enter adjustments as it require hardware directional pad.

Ebr and/or Luke (or whomever took over for android), anyway to adjust overscan in a config file on the android client or the server side till HLS gets fixed?
