LiveTV HDHomerun Playback Issue

[stratumorien 10]

When playing LiveTV from HDHomerun device through Emby it works fine for a few minuties and then goes to black screen and spinning circle. It stays that way until I quit back to the guide. Upon attempts to re-start playback it goes straight to black screen and spinning circle. 

 

If I restart the Xbox then open app it will playback again but repeats the same behavior. The amount of time it plays for before failing is not consistent.

 

The firmware version of the HDHomerun device is current.

Bump...

 

Has anyone looked at the logs; any idea of why Live TV streams are freezing up?

 

I have been using the HDHomerun app in the interim as it works flawlessly (but has crappy guide and no DVR)

 

Thanks

What you can try to do is lower the in-app quality setting to force a full transcode. The next server release will have some timestamp correction for live streams that may help with this.

I appreciate the confirmation of potential live stream issues. I will try your suggestion.

This remains to be an issue after updating to recent release. Direct stream of live TV from my HDHomerun works well for a few min bu then begins to freeze periodically and then lockup completely.

Just a quick update as I tested my Nvidia Shield running the recent Experience 8.0 update. Emby for Android TV seems to perform much better (no freezing on direct stream) in general than the XBOX One app. Perhaps this is all client related?

It could be. On Xbox we are using the stock windows video player and thus are subject to it's limitations.
