Since the update of Emby Server to version 3.1.5.0, playback of any video freezes on the first frame when using Google Chrome version 56.0.2924.76 (latest) on a Windows 10 PC but not when using Microsoft Edge on the same Windows 10 PC or when using Google Chrome version 55.0.2883.87 or 56.0.2924.76 (latest) on Windows Server 2016 Standard (Emby Server).

 

Please advise?

 

Thanks.

All good on version 3.1.623.2624 Dev - Win10Pro / Chrome 56.0.2924.76

To me it looks like Emby is presenting the Thumb and waiting on transcoded media.  Also how long did you wait?

@@Luke As advised, I've recreated the problem and attached the logs (file "server-63621204017.txt").

 

@@Happy2Play I've waited a few minutes and nothing has happened but I have no problem streaming using other browsers / apps and devices.

 

Thanks.

I think it is just missing the play button for devices that don't allow video autoplay.

@@Luke I don't understand. It's obviously not a problem with Google Chrome or my PC.

because PC's allow video autoplay, tablets don't, so we have to make sure the video play button is there for you to click after you click the emby play button.

@@Luke I still don't understand. I'm using a desktop PC, not a tablet.

Regardless, it must not be allowing auto pay for whatever reason.

Oh. I just figured it out. I completely forgot that I had the Google Chrome extension "Disable HTML5 Autoplay" installed (for use with YouTube). I guess the new video player uses HTML5?

 

I'm so sorry for wasting everyone's time!
