Same Stream Two Devices not working right

[mediacowboy 438]

Now the question is it serverwmc or mediabrowser

@@krustyreturns I have the old 1138 roll back to and test on

Well of course I am biased, but I can't see any way it can be serverwmc since it is not getting passed a request to start a second stream - even though a different channel is selected.  Nor could it be responsible for MBS continuing to play the cached stream after serverwmc has shut down all live streams.

[mediacowboy 438]

True

Maybe my issue is related.

 

Sounds like it.  Which plugin are you using for live tv?

I just tested this with the new server release (3.0.5326.13255) and it doesn't seem to be happening anymore. Can someone else verify my finding's?

I'm just using the standard ServerWMC plugin.

Will test it tomorrow and let you know, tuners offline until I get the last piece to my mad scientist project.

[mediacowboy 438]

@ how many tuners does that give you?

I'm experiencing the same behaviour. I'm using Dev Build of Server - Version 3.0.5327.38562

I just downloaded devel build 3.0.5329.40806 and I get the exact same behavior I described in this post:

Damn, you got me all excited.  What is your test?

[mediacowboy 438]

All I did is start one stream on my living room roku, let it run for like 5 minutes, and then turned to the same channel on my desktop. I will test more tonight since it may have been a fluke.

[krustyreturns 191]

I am testing on the same machine, that's probably the difference, since @@Vicpa reported that starting on two different machines worked for him also.  Did it also start the second stream at the correct time?

[mediacowboy 438]

Yes. In fact the second stream was ahead of the first but that may be due to the wireless roku and gigabyte desktop

[mediacowboy 438]

I'll try the same machine tonight. I will open one stream in IE and then wait five minutes and start one in chrome

[krustyreturns 191]

Or you can just open another instance of chrome.

[mediacowboy 438]

Ok, I'll do that. As I hate IE with a passion.

Issues persists when trying to view 2 streams from the same host via Chrome tabs (see below).

 

Issue not present from same host using Chrome Incognito + normal Chrome tab. (cookies it is!)

 

Issue not present from 2 different hosts, see screenshot (vnc to second host).

Dang it I knew I forgot to do something last night. I had family come in that I haven't seen in months.

[krustyreturns 191]

Cool.  You are right the problem is fixed so long as the its not two different instances of the same browser on the same machine (I would not have thought of starting the browser in private mode, good catch).

The issue lies with the user/host being the same, as we've already guessed. Temporary solution for me is multiple users within MBS or just private tabs. Still an annoyance, but at least there is a work-around.

[mediacowboy 438]

Just to double check I tested watching the same channel on two different roku's just to make sure it was working as expected.I am now able to watch like I would expect. Thank you for who ever fixed this or maybe it was just a small hiccup. This can be marked as resolved for my issue.
