Transcoding freezes on iOS and tvOS

Hi,

I recently noticed that both on my iPhone or Apple TV videos freeze when transcoding is used. Audio continues but video simply stops. Only happens on transcoding.

It happened with a 1.27 version and 1.28.0.5998 shows the same symptoms. Running the server on FreeBSD in a jail. Hardware transcoding is disabled. Never had this issue before. Started 2 weeks ago (with my update to the former 1.27 version which I unfortunately have not noted).

Any ideas? I first thought it was a iOS client issue but since it also happens on the Apple TV and both via WLAN and 4G. Seems to happen when the automatic bandwidth mechanisms kicks in.

Regards

I have several reproducible cases. If I change the options away from automatics and choose a specific profile (e.g. 1080p with a specific quality) things run smoothly. So the automatism seems to trigger this. Any insights on this? Or something I can do to debug? Just want to know if this is a known issue…

I have the same issue with Automatic encoding. Seen on Apple TV transcoding from PMS on Mac Mini M1

I’m having the same issue. Windows PMS 1.29.0.6219 and the latest clients. I have only been able to test the Apple TV and iPhone as well.
