Serviio

Well what can i say, a big thankyou for the new version with Media Browser, been having some fun trying get this work but still am too.

Can access the web page perfectly fine browse all files not a problem , click on one of them, and get the Player up, and i just get a circle keep going round and round, not fun, tried many different things, and reinstalling and still same cause.

But strange one is, installed google chrome, and the files play straight away no problems at all. So thought i would post this just incase people had smae headaches like me with IE9

Only problem i seem to get now, is after playing the file, ffmpeg seems to sit on cpu usage and continue using bandwidth likes its still playing the video, even after closing the browser, this also did this on IE9 on the circles.

ANy ideas guys.

It will finish transcoding the video in it's full, same as when playing on the TV.

Ah ok, thanks for letting me know about that.

Thank you for the new version and all the improvements, but if this is true, then I can't see myself purchasing the pro version.

Essentially, if I watch several episodes of a tv show, or flip through a couple deciding what to watch, it is going to eventually either 1. max my cpu usage and slow my server 2. eat up all my bandwidth even though I stopped watching something.

There has to be something that can be implemented to resolve this.

It will only ever do one at once. E.g. you start watching movie X and then move to watching movie Y, if X has not finished transcoding yet, then it will stop that job and start transcoding Y. So you will only ever have it transcoding one video per device at once. The reason why it continues is because tvs etc do not tell serviio the difference between the user stopping playback or pausing, so its best to finish the job rather than having to start again and force the user to wait.

It also doesn't eat your bandwidth... if you stop consuming the stream you are not using any bandwidth, it's just a ffmpeg process creating a file on your PC.
