Possible Transcoding Error

[lazybob 2]

In the last 36 hours, an issue has started on all the devices I stream to. The videos are stopping and going back to the loading screen. When I watch on the dashboard, there's plenty of buffer with the transcoding. Even when I pause the video, it'll go back to the loading screen and start playing the video again. It'll do this over and over again until it quite literally gives up and sends me back to the library.

 

Any of the files that are capable of Direct Play have no issues.

Hi there, can you please attach an ffmpeg log example? Thanks.

I'm streaming through the Roku app that is running on a wired internet connection. I'm not having any issues it would seem when on the Android app on my phone, but when I cast my phone to my TV, the problem starts again.

 

During this log, the video had a 3 minute buffer the whole time.

I see very similar, on android tv client I practically can’t stream, Roku and iOS devices work better, almost no stops.

 

How do you see ‘ there's plenty of buffer with the transcoding ‘ ?

I see no throttling preload at all.

The server dashboard.

Same place then

And I see no throttling buffer at all

It says direct play but iirc it used to show buffer as well

Is this only happening with mpeg4 input?

Probably a client issue.

 

The reported playback position sticks at 00:03:26 and doesn't get updated from there.

The server and transcoding logs are there if you need them :-)

It doesn't update after that because its kicked me back to the library and the notice of too many errors pops up. This isn't limited to just happening with my Roku. This also happens when I cast through my phone using Chromecast.

@lazybob this is resolved for the next release of the server. Thanks !
