stratumorien 10 Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 Live TV starts up as a still frame and remains 'Frozen' upon playback for many minutes. In some instances it will eventually start playback if considerable time is given (many minutes). This has been an issue for many days now. It is now transcoding where previously it always direct played Logs are attached... I have also uploaded logs from the Shield client (android TV) at 9:40am Easter US time under the username 'TV' Thanks and hope your holidays were awesome! Bri Log.txt transcode.txt
ebr 16169 Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 When in this "Frozen" state, does it start playing if you try to seek?
stratumorien 10 Posted December 27, 2017 Author Posted December 27, 2017 For a few days now live TV is frozen (still frame) with no audio upon playback on my nVidia Shield. Previously it would direct play from my HD HomeRun but now is transcoding? I posted in the Synology section and also here as I am unsure if it is a client or server issue. Logs were uploaded from client at 9:40 (6 min ago) under the local emby account 'TV' Thanks for you help and happy holidays Brian
stratumorien 10 Posted December 27, 2017 Author Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) I haven't tried to seek but will attempt now. Brian Edited December 27, 2017 by stratumorien
ebr 16169 Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 It is transcoding because the attempt to direct stream it failed. I'm interested in the answer to my question in your other post though...
stratumorien 10 Posted December 27, 2017 Author Posted December 27, 2017 Yes it does begin playing if I hit the left d-pad arrow (rewind).
ebr 16169 Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 Okay, are you on the beta for the app? I want to put up a quick change to see if it makes a difference.
stratumorien 10 Posted December 27, 2017 Author Posted December 27, 2017 @ebr Yes... if I start playback it appears that the seek bar goes to the far right as if it is done playing immediately. If i hit rewind (left arrow on d-pad) it begins playback.
stratumorien 10 Posted December 27, 2017 Author Posted December 27, 2017 I do not use the beta but can sign up for it. I generally avoid as my family prefers the stability of the release versions.
ebr 16169 Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 If you can, at least temporarily, I will push a build for you to test. It will be 1.5.24
stratumorien 10 Posted December 27, 2017 Author Posted December 27, 2017 I signed up for the open beta... Haven't received update on my ATV. Running 1.5.23g currently
ebr 16169 Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 Should be available very shortly. You may need to force it to check since you just updated.
stratumorien 10 Posted December 27, 2017 Author Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) @@ebr The app updated to .24g and now live TV will not playback at all. It revert to error message about not finding a tuner now. log uploaded Edited December 27, 2017 by stratumorien
ebr 16169 Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 Wait a few minutes then force another update to get .25 and try again. If that still fails, please post the server and ffmpeg logs. Thanks.

ebr 16169 Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 If you turn off the option to attempt to direct stream Live TV, what happens?
stratumorien 10 Posted December 27, 2017 Author Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) It plays beautifully Edited December 27, 2017 by stratumorien
stratumorien 10 Posted December 31, 2017 Author Posted December 31, 2017 I didn't want to bugg... But is this functioning as expected? Any confirmation of a true playback issue to be resolved in future release? I appreciate any follow-up to close the loop. Happy new year Bri
ebr 16169 Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 Are you also on the beta server? If not can you try that?
stratumorien 10 Posted January 9, 2018 Author Posted January 9, 2018 I run Emby server on my Synology NAS and updates are sometimes significantly delayed compared to windows. As with the clients I also shy from beta's for stability as my family relies on it for all entertainment
Luke 42077 Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Ok @@stratumorien, you should see quicker live tv startup time with the next release of emby server. thanks !
Jennice 19 Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 Hi all, I am considering a shield or Fire TV as player, leaving the transcoding to my Win10 pc. Are the issues discussed here related to server or client side? My server seems to run fine, so it it's a Synology server issue, I am not affected.
stratumorien 10 Posted January 12, 2018 Author Posted January 12, 2018 Apart from this recent issue that was resolved through a config/option change, my shield has been and great client for Emby. I have tried a fire TV stick and wasn't too happy with it's performance. Playback on other clients did not have this issue (win10 Emby theatre or chrome browser) so maybe restricted to Android TV app
