Video freezing while playing on TV, Tablet, or STB
Hello, 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
