Nytemynde 1 Posted June 24, 2015 Author Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) Alright, I was playing around with other options, and I got the email about the new build for Emby (Version 3.0.5641.4). I loaded it up, went to my fire stick, and got the live stream to work at 30 mbps without issue. I ran it for a few minutes, then I went to change channels, and it went right back to the video playback errors. I then tried it on my fire TV, and it went straight to the video playback error, but it actually left a transcoding log. So, the file ending in 4c is my fire stick run, and the one ending in 49 is my fire TV attempt. Any thoughts? transcode-358fcac0-e8d2-4944-bb86-05320ff39a4c.txt transcode-e5c37366-3225-42c3-9ff9-e490def6da49.txt Edited June 24, 2015 by Nytemynde
bmoses 9 Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 i tested this out again today to see if anything had changed. mine still isn't working unless i have the max bitrate set to 5. i do think i got a different error though when trying it at a higher bitrate, it said "video playback error - server inaccessible". not sure why it said that though cause my server was accessible and everything else worked fine, plus changing the bitrate back to 5 without doing anything else got it working again.
blauter78 4 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 I am not home at the moment to confirm what versions I am using or to provide a log but this was happening to me last night on all channels. Changing the bit rate had no effect. Is this resolved for everyone else?

Changing the bit rate had no effect. Is this resolved for everyone else? I am still having the same issues and there does not seem to be any answers forthcoming. I got a live feed to play one time, and then nothing after that. I added the transcoding logs from that time, but haven't heard any thoughts from them.
Luke 42077 Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 are you sure it's direct streaming? how do you know that?
Luke 42077 Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Does it play at all and then stop randomly? or does it just not play anything?
Luke 42077 Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Ok. In that case, what's happening is we are feeding the server wmc url directly to the fire tv app without it going through emby server at all. we did that because according to the media info the device should be able to play it directly. although maybe we also need to filter out interlaced content which will make it transcode again.
Luke 42077 Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 then i can't really answer why it won't direct play other than the player doesn't like the stream for whatever reason. maybe the player doesn't support interlaced content
ebr 16169 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 I've never heard of interlaced audio - not sure what that would be. I'm not sure if the native Android player supports interlaced video or not. We'd have to test it.
Luke 42077 Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 I am guessing the native player does not support interlaced.
bmoses 9 Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 i don't know when it changed, but i am now able to set my maxbitrate to 30 and play live tv on my fire tv stick without any issues. this is on the latest beta of the server and .79a on the fire tv stick. i have VLC player turned off as it doesn't work very well on the stick so this is using the internal player for playback.
techworld 3 Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Hi guys, I'm recently migrated from Plex to Emby. I like the features and options that Emby has, while Plex doesn't without the Pass. I'm having problem playing videos on my iPhone 5S. It said 'Play Back Error." The videos are played fine on my computer, and on Plex Media. They're mp4 container. Thanks.

salphonso 4 Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 I know this thread is a few months old but, I am getting the same error on my FireTV. I can watch live TV on every device except the FireTV. On the FireTV it actually plays the audio for about 3-5 seconds before giving the error message and going back to the menu. This happens for both liveTV and recorded playback. Directplay movies play fine if I have the VLC player enabled but they also get this error if it is not enabled. Lowering the bitrate does not make mine work. Also, the FireTV is wired connected to a gigabit network although I belive it's NIC is only a 10/100. server-63591749250.txt transcode-8a39aab9-6dc6-4f9b-b50b-8c7afccb5d07.txt
krustyreturns 191 Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 This problem is with Emby right? I need the serverwmc log to see the configuration you are running in.
salphonso 4 Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 @@krustyreturns - I am almost certain it is with Emby on FireTV because I can recreate it with my local media that is set to direct play. Everything looks right in the serverwmc log. It gets all the commands to get entries, get stream, etc. I will do some more testing tomorrow and get you the swmc log just so we have all the info and I'll recreate the problem with my local media to verify the same error appears in the Emby server log.
salphonso 4 Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) These are the 3 logs right after attempting to play back the local fox channel. Look for anything stamped around 7:20 - 7:21 AM as that's what time I tested it. server-63591782400.txt transcode-27cf9c4f-b2e1-41be-8e34-96d90d45e172.txt ServerWMC.log Edited February 23, 2016 by salphonso
salphonso 4 Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 ServerWMC shows that it is receiving a CloseLiveStream command about 12 seconds after it received the OpenLiveStream command.
krustyreturns 191 Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Yeah, you are right. What happens if you turn dlna mode off for emby?
salphonso 4 Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 It still errors out. I tried that before I left this morning. I'll have to do it again to see if it's a different error message in Emby Server Log but same results on the ServerWMC side and still gives video playback error. I need to get me a dev environment built for the FireTV so I can mess with stuff and break things more while I try to fix them

krustyreturns 191 Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 You only get this emby error if you start the stream from the FTV?
salphonso 4 Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Yes, other platforms I have (iOS phone and iPad, Roku, android phone) work flawlessly.
