Server Version#: 1.30.2.6563
Player Version#: 9.15.0
Live TV no longer watchable in this version. Seems to be related to the new exo version
Yeah, I’m getting massive stuttering with it for DVR. It looks like a slide show. No transcoding is happening for the content. Both streams are direct play from the server
Edit: just tried close captioning to see if transcoding fixed it. It did not. Still a slideshow with transcoding
I’ve also started noticing today stuttering with high FPS (48fps?) saved media. Normal frame rate files work fine, and these high FPS videos worked yesterday.
Content plays fine on phone app and with casting. It’s the CCwGTV app that’s stuttering.
I put this into the thread linked by jebrossard above, but I have the same issue.
I watch a bit of live TV (it’s still very common in Australia), and some channels are now unwatchable on my CCwGTV (I tried multiple ones, they are all the same).
The Firestick 4K Max and Windows players all play the same TV channels fine!
What I’m seeing is the video constantly stops and the spinning circle appears, then it might play for a split second, then stop etc. When I go to the Windows admin interface to see what it’s reporting, it’s saying it’s “Buffering”.
It’s specifically happening on SBS HD channels (logs are attached of me trying to watch the show “Heritage Rescue”).
I’ve gone through the entire Australian (Melbourne) TV List and found some very inconsistent behaviour… and a lot of the HD channels are now transcoding which they didn’t do before! i.e. even 1080p hw converting to 1080p… !?!

9 - 1080i (H.264) - transcodes to 1080p (!!!) but plays fine.

I dropped Home streaming maximum quality down to 720p to force transcoding, and all the SBS channels now play fine like that…
In the previous versions, all channels played fine as Direct Stream (no stuttering, no transcoding etc).
