Hi, I just recently switched from Libreelec to Coreelec and am having trouble seeking since making the switch
I encoded my family movies in x265 and cloned the settings of one of the largest release groups I could find Megusta. The videos play fine but seeking in any direction causes the video to freeze for ~30 seconds, sometimes indefinitely.
All other formats I’ve tested work great, so the issue lies with the encoding settings I’ve used. But I’m already pretty far down the rabbit hole as I’ve been encoding like this for years because it worked flawlessly on Libreelec. Are there any tips or hacks I can do so I can regain the seeking behavior I had previously?
I know i grasping at straws here as Core was a major rework under the hood.
I hear you, there are a number of failure points going from a NAS. but no, same behavior when running right from the SD card. But I did make a small discovery:
seeksteps, or rather seekdelay is having an effect. I increase seekdelay to 2.5 seconds and now seeking is successful ~60% of the time?
I was under the assumption seekdelay was nothing more than a delay on your seek input before actually pushing through the command. how could that result in audio sync issues being alleviated?
This is bizarre. with seekdelay set to 2 seconds its working reliably for the most part. bring it down to zero (aka old kodi seeking behaviour) and the issue is reproducible every time.
I have some encodes of the same type but my system always recodes the audio only down to AAC-HE V2 as nearly all my content is played back though a tv and not a 5.1 Surround system.
I have one thing you can try to narrow this down that may or may not have an effect.
Recode the audio only first is 6 Channel second is Stereo
@bazzle, The Seinfeld video was just a take on the ironic situation I’d got myself into and had nothing to do with my technical problem.
@anon88919003, you got it, on all my c2s. when GPU overclock was enabled seeking on x265 content I encoded would have issues. Night and day fix, turn it off and seeking is better than I remember it on Libreelec.
