Certain channels "pixelating"

[seangermany 5]

Team,

 

I'm having an issue with certain channels tiling, or "pixelating" so bad that they're unwatchable.  I know that this is an Emby issue because the same channels work fine working on another frontend (KODI).

 

I've tried restarting the EMBY server, and restarting the PC - with no success.

 

An excerpt from the ffmpeg-transcode log below:

Any ideas as to what the issue could be?

 

Setup:

Emby 3.3.1.0.7

Windows 8.1 pro x64 with WMC

HDHR Prime w/ 3 tuners and cablecard

Please post the swmc log too (see debug tab) so I can see how its configured for emby.

Thanks for your reply, Krusty.

 

I cannot locate the swmc log.  Where is this located?

 

This issue seems to be sporadic.  Channels will work in the evenings, and buffer non-stop in the morning.  Other channels will experience audio drops.  I don't have any process running that should impact performance, so I'm at a loss.

 

Thanks again.

Its accessed on the 'debug' tab of serverwmc.  Most likely this is not a problem with serverwmc but I am willing to look at the log to see if I see anything strange.

Thanks, Krusty.

 

yesterday's log attached.  I'm interested in your findings.  I've returned all of my cable boxes, so I'm all in with EMBY.  I need this to be stable.

Since you are using dlna mode, swmc is not doing anything on the playback for a live stream other then giving emby the dlna address of the channel.  So you are right, you need help from the emby guys.

Ceton has dlna?

[krustyreturns 191]

According to the serverwmc log he posted, he has an hdhr prime.

@@seangermany, would you mind testing the built in emby support for your tuner and seeing how that compares? thanks.
