Skip ahead problem with transcoded files
First question: Is skipping ahead in a video being transcoded supported by Serviio and DLNA clients ?
If yes, has anyone using an LG BD570 successfully done that: Play a file that needs transcoding, use the INFO/DISPLAY button on the Player to skip ahead a minute or so, and have the video jump to the new location and start playing again.
As far as I am concerned, when I skip ahead, I get the rotating icon that tells me to wait (normal), but then when the Video would normally start playing from the new location the player freezes.
Attached is a log file that shows the following (I inserted spaces between the key periods):
Up to 17:36:23 Serviio is starting
Up to 17:37:53 I start the Player
Up to 17:40:18 I play an Avi file that does not need encoding, I do a skip ahead without problem, then stop the playing
Then at 17:45:21 I start playing a wmv file that needs transcoding (Dante’s Peak)
About 10 seconds in the playback, I try a skip (around 17:45:30) The log file shows an I/O error connection reset.
After that the player is frozen, and Serviio seems to continue the transcoding.
EDIT: The I/O error does nor seem to be relevant, I did another test where I let the player play the transcoded file for 5mn before doing a skip of 1mn, so the transcode would get ahead of the skip locaion, but when I skip it still freezes, and the log file does not show any error, just a continuous transcoding. It really looks like Serviio does not get the skip request, so may be it is just not possible to skip in a file being transcoded in a DLNA configuration ...)
If anyone can shed some light on what could be going wrong and if there is anything I can test or change in the configuration I would appreciate it.
I am using the following instruction in the transcoding profile.
