Server Version#: 1.40.3.8555
Player Version#: 5.85.0
After seeking multiple times, sometimes back and forth, the app stops responding to seek commands, the spinner in the middle of the screen doesn’t disappear but the playback continues. You can’t pause and seek anymore, the UI responds to the input but this has no effect.
After a minute or so the playback error screen shows up overlapping the video, but the video keeps playing in the background. You don’t see the picture because it is overlapped with the error screen but you can still hear the sound. The Plex Transcoder process keeps running, so this looks like a problem on the client app.
No errors in the server log but when you press the Ok button in the overlapping error screen this warning appears in the log
Got a request to stop a transcode session without a valid session GUID.
Post #91 in that thread contains a bunch of information. You could check if that matches what you see. If it does, then you should post your findings there.
I’ve posted about this several times, most recently here:
This includes the error that is coming back from the Tizen API. It appears that if you ask the API to do a seek, you have to wait for that seek to complete before you can ask it to seek again. I’ve asked if Plex could stack multiple seeks together or not try to allow another seek until the first completes, but have gotten no response.
In that case, the solution indeed would be for the app to stack the user actions, move the slider as normal but execute seek commands one by one or aggregate them and sum the time to skip. If pressed four times in a row, Plex can perform only two seek commands: one for 30 seconds and another for 90.
