nyplayer 90 Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) @edsanchez07 , Those are the hardest to fix works for some but not all. Last night it was always pausing got the update a while ago and it works fine. Edited January 17, 2019 by nyplayer
mikeB2210 26 Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 The newest Beta doesn‘t fix the problem for me :-(( Watching one episode of Game of Thrones without a problem, next episode Emby freezes after 7 min.
ebr 16169 Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Are the people still having issues all BaconFeet users or do you have your own server?
Pog22 52 Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 I'm still having issues, I've my own Hetzner remote Dedi server bandwidth is not an issue
mikeB2210 26 Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Own server, running Emby in Docker. Bandwidth no Problem
ebr 16169 Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Okay. There is still obviously a fundamental problem in the firmware here. Was just hoping my adjustments would have a positive impact. Perhaps they do in some situations or, perhaps, that was just coincidence.
Jdiesel 1431 Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 I'm curious if anyone who is experiencing this has tried or is willing to try a factory reset on their Shield TV.
CBers 7450 Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 I'm curious if anyone who is experiencing this has tried or is willing to try a factory reset on their Shield TV. And why isn't it affecting everyone?
Jdiesel 1431 Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) I believe someone even posted that it wasn't even affecting all Shield TVs located in the same house Edit: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/66681-nvidia-shield-tv-playback-will-pause-constantly/?view=findpost&p=668701 Edited January 17, 2019 by Jdiesel

I also have 3 Shields and none exhibit this issue. I wonder if it is to do with the end device, TV or receiver?
MRobi 161 Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Okay. There is still obviously a fundamental problem in the firmware here. Was just hoping my adjustments would have a positive impact. Perhaps they do in some situations or, perhaps, that was just coincidence. Day 2 since the update and still not one freeze. Own server, running Emby in Docker. Bandwidth no Problem Strictly out of curiosity here, which version of the server are you running? I was on 3.6.0.86 last night and updated today to 4.0.0.2. Possibly a combination of the newer server build and the beta android app is why it's working for me? *shrugs*
Pog22 52 Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) I was on the Emby beta docker server but switched back to latest stable docker 4.0.0.2 two days ago and see the issue in both, there's no difference between them, the same version number too. It's definitely the Shield, I have a MiBox that also runs Android TV that has no issues Edited January 17, 2019 by colfin22
rouq 23 Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 I was on 3.5.3, this random pausing started with Shield firmware 7.2 for me. I own my server and my Shield is connected on a yahama receiver. The strange thing is that I see this behavior on low bitrate media. I can watch the latest transformer in 4k hdr (remux) with hd audio no problem and then watch a hevc 1080p (2mbps) with aac 5.1 and experiencing few pauses.

Perhaps they do in some situations or, perhaps, that was just coincidence. Just had my first freeze since switching to beta. Just sent the log a few minutes ago. The Orville S02E04 Video Codec H264 3.4Mbps Audio Codec: AAC (direct) 192kbps Server log attached. Device log also sent to NVIDIA referencing the support code they issued me Log.txt
D34DC3N73R 18 Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 I'm also wondering if people are really on 7.2 still. If so, there should be an update available. Shield experience is now at 7.2.2

Pog22 52 Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 Yeah you need to downgrade to 7.1 to fix the issue
msh1411 0 Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 I thought I'd chime in here. Like above mine started pausing/freezing from the 7.2 update onwards. I use Baconfeet and another Emby service and both have the same problem. No luck with direct play and even 10Mbit/sec pauses but anything below 5Mbit/sec plays smoothly. I have a Plex service which works flawlessly even at 4k so definitely not a speed problem. IMO it's 100% a Shield firmware problem because I even installed an Emby version from August last year which made no difference.
Some0guy0 0 Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 That's a transcode, most here including myself said we had no problems with transcodes, it's direct play we've issues with. Try direct play I was having this problem with transcodes, couldn't even play anything above 2mbps. After installing the beta I'm not having freezing issues so far.
Fallguy 0 Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 (edited) Awesome. Thanks. This has worked for me so far for the past 2 days. I force stopped the app, cleared the cache and data, restarted the shield and finally reinstalled the app. FWIW, I've had issues with my shield after updating to 7.2. Seems something goes wrong when "updating/optimizing" apps after an upgrade. Uninstalling the app, doing a restart on the shield and reinstalling the app worked in my case. Edited January 19, 2019 by Fallguy
Pog22 52 Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 I just cleared cache and data, uninstalled and reinstalled the Emby beta app and now I'm back to having downmix issues like I was having previously with the previous beta. Something is really messed up
BeRealBud 2 Posted January 20, 2019 Author Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) The only way I can successfully watch a video fully through is by selecting Playback Correction, I'm guessing that forces the playback to transcode. Can we get a temporary Band-Aid until Nvidia figurs out their firmware issue or you guys can pinpoint where all this havoc is coming from after the 7.2 update? Can you guys give us the option to enable force transcoding or whatever Playback Correction does as a remedy for now? Edited January 20, 2019 by BeRealBud

BE SURE you re-start the Shield between uninstalling and re-installing the app.

BE SURE you re-start the Shield between uninstalling and re-installing the app. Didn't work for me, in fact it reintroduced the downmix issue I had with the previous beta. I'm going to try going back to stable shortly to see if it fixes it.

Also, what you are describing as a problem for you sounds like simply a setting that got changed back to defaults on the reinstall.
