Video freezing while playing on TV, Tablet, or STB
Posted: Fri Jul 11, 2014 1:54 pmHello, I'm using Serviio to stream different kind of videos from my PC to either my TV (a Panasonic Viera plasma, through Ethernet) or my Android tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" using CyanogenMod, through WiFi), and sometimes my set-top-box (Orange Livebox Play, through Ethernet).
I'm facing an issue with both the TV and the tablet, with all videos I tried.
The video playback is good, everything is perfect, but sometimes the video is freezing, you have a still picture on the screen and no sound. After a few seconds, there are several solutions, depending on the device on which I play the video :
- TV : sometimes it resumes the video ; sometimes it says the file is not readable ; usually if I do a pause/play on the remote control it resumes the video ; but sometimes I need to push the "return" button and start the video again (and usually it resumes the video at the point it froze).
- Tablet : usually it resumes the video after a few seconds, but it starts with a "fast forward" for one or two seconds prior to slow down to normal speed. Sometimes it exits to the media file browser with a message like "file not found". Pause/play has no effect.
- Set top box : sometimes it resumes the video after a few seconds, but it starts with a "fast forward" for one or two seconds prior to slow down to normal speed. Most of the time it exits to the media browser with a message like "file not found". Pause/play has no effect.
Is there a parameter I can set in Serviio to improve this ? Thanks
