Media failing to play continuously

[ross87 12]

I'll be playing a series and all of a sudden an episode will stop playing and I will have to click on it again to get it to continue where it stopped.

@@Angelblue05 there must be something in the kodi log to indicate why the player stopped, no?

Sorry I wasn't able to reply sooner. I've checked the log, everything looks fine to me. Kodi calls on playback ended for some reason?

I'm using 17.6 and I have no such issue. If it's still happening and you don't have that issue in the webclient, then I think something is up with your Kodi setup itself. Might be work trying a clean setup, back up your add-ons and databases, test playback with a fresh install (add a single video and try). If it works, then try to restore, if it breaks again, then it's likely an add-on that's interfering. However I do not see any errors regarding emby in your log (with the exception of how it shuts down). Sorry I can't be more help.

Thank you both @@Luke and @@Angelblue05 for your help with this.

 

I may have resolved this as I haven't had any outages or issues since 18th. So far it is looking like as expected it wasn't an Emby issue.

 

Homeplugs (powerlines adaptors) are used to connect my whole network together. Just as a trial I have moved the server from being connected on another floor, to be sat next to the router and networked directly. So far I have not had any outages (though they only seemed to happen every so often), so I am hoping this may have resolved the issue.

 

Thanks again for all your assistance, it is greatly appreciated.

Glad you found the issue and things are working again. Great info, thanks for letting us know

[Luke 42078]

Thanks for the feedback.

[ross87 12]

I unfortunately think I got my hope up too soon. Everything had worked fine for 4 days and now the issue has reared its ugly head again.

 

I've attached a log from Kodi. Is there anything obvious that stands out in this log as to the issue?

 

Thanks in advance.

So I'm still having the issue despite being connected directly to the router, so that seems to rule out the homeplugs / powerlines as the issue. 

 

I've attached my most recent error log - any ideas @@Luke and @@Angelblue05 ?
