![]() #Emby client hd channel pausing tv#Yes, I know there's a workaround for this Emby problem - I've unfortunately had to rely on it for some time now - and this is an Emby problem as Emby Server continues to play a tv channel (and thereby grow the associated pause buffer) indefinitely if the client is closed whilst watching a tv channel). So its probably a good idea to set a large buffer size to mitigate this issue. Also, I set the buffer to 1 minute and noticed a playback glitch in Emby Theatre each time a new buffer file was created (I had noticed this glitch occurring before on occasions). Setting the buffer length to zero stopped live tv from working in Emby. Gracefully exiting a tv channel in Emby Theatre does cause the buffer for that channel session to be purged - but closing the Emby Theatre app does not - and Emby Server continues to happily play that TV channel forever (and the pause buffer files for that channel session grow in number until they consume all disk space).Įmby Server knows when Emby Theatre is closed - so the obvious solution appears to be for Emby Server to switch off any channel that that instance of Emby Theatre was watching rather than play it forever.Īs an aside, Emby requires the pause buffer for some reason. The buffer files continually grow whilst watching a buffered channel. It has nothing to do with when WinTv purges those buffer files. Setting the pause buffer length only changes the buffer file sizes. I am going to try disabling the pause buffer in WinTV (setting lenth to 0 mins) Edited Februby dr_faulknerĪfter some further observations I think I know what's going on here. Further, Emby always turns on pause buffer (why? Is it using the buffer for streaming? if not, why can't Emby do its own buffering?), but has no replacement for the WinTv's pause buffering purge - and therein lies the problem. ![]() However, emby doesn't use the WinTv UI app, and therefore apparently bypasses the pause buffer purging the app performs. WinTV also purges the pause buffer files when the app is restarted. Once the pause function is used, WinTV appears to accumulate pause buffer files until the app is closed. It appears entirely unnecessary to have indefinite pause buffering - particularly when it will eventually fill your C-Drive and crash your server.īy default the WinTV app does not use the pause buffer (correction, it does and also has a max buffer setting defaulting to 30 minutes)- its a UI user activated feature in the app. The issue is not where the pause buffer location is configured - its when the pause buffer is used and flushed. ![]()
