Art work flickering


Recommended Posts

Posted

Can anyone help. I have recently purchased a 3900EU Roku to access my server on my DS416Play. Everything seems to be working except the poster art on the movie/tv profiles constantly flashes as if it keep refreshing. I'll hopefully include a video attached.

Hi.  No need for a video.  Can you please attach a server log from when this is happening?

 

Thanks.

Hi.  Can you tell me how big these images are?  Also, what resolution is your Roku set to?

The resolution is set to 1080p which is correct and the images are what Emby downloads itself. Usually 1080p but some are 2160p.

Thanks, we're looking into it.

Hi,

I have the same issue with my Roku3 and my parents Roku TV. I think I started seeing it over 3 month ago.

My Roku resolution set to 1080 and all images are downloaded by Emby.

Please keep me in the loop for the fix.

 

Thank you,

Ruslan

Same issue here as well on Roku, except mine is way worse than the example video. I get this trace spewed throughout the logs:

We're looking into it, thanks.

Awesome, appriciate it!

 

If you need more information please let me know.

Thank you for looking into this for us. Really don't want to move over to Plex on the roku.

Exact same behaviour here on my Roku sticks. Driving my wife bananas.

 

Feels like I'm having a seizure every time I load the app

Posted

I know it's being looked into, but I thought I would mention that it seems to be across the board. I have a Roku express and am having the same issue.

Posted

Can you guys try the latest beta version (.59) and see if this goes away?

 

Thanks.

Posted

Just tried .59 and it has solved the problem. Thank you

Posted

I've installed .59 also, and it has stopped the constant flickering. Not to sound ungrateful, or disappointed, but I will state an observation. When the artwork changes from one picture to another, there is a flicker. It just happens the one time during transition though, but every image (backdrop, chapter scenes, actor images) flickers during this transition. So it is stable once it completes its transition, but it seems to "struggle" with a transition and refreshes every image on the screen through an awkward cycle.

Exactly what are you talking about here and where?

 

Thanks.

I'm referring to the backdrop images; the wallpaper that is in the background of the movie information screen. (You'll forgive my non-technical descriptions, I'm a mechanical engineer not software :) ) I don't see any flickering when I'm in the main menu, only when I am looking at the screen for a particular movie. There are typically 4 backdrop images for a given movie, and these images are changed at regular intervals.

Okay, and on what device?

 

I'm afraid some of these Roku devices simply cannot handle large amounts of large images.

I have a Roku SE and I get the artwork flickering with both the stable release .54 and the beta .64, the audio plays fine but the Roku will eventually lockup and become unresponsive. 

 

The PLEX app works fine though so I don't think it's the Roku itself. I'll upload a log file shortly.

I tried a different model Roku and the emby app works fine so maybe the app is too much for the Roku SE.

On your lower powered device, try turning off the option to show backdrops while browsing.

I did that and it work great but when i"m in the TV Shows section (example I lick on Big Bang Theory)  the backdrop flicker

It will be great to be able to disable the backdrop everywhere.

 

I have the Roku express 3900ca

 

Thanks
