Hi,

I am looking to play videos on my Amazon Firestick. I have both Kodi and VLC. I can play videos but my issue is when I use subtitles, the transcoded video is not able to seek. It shows as zero seconds and the option is not even there...even though the video plays perfect. I have tried to use ...

That makes sense.

Once it gets to the 3 second mark (all that the renderer recognizes), the video stops as if fully played.

Did I capture the log incorrectly or was it just the way it happened to capture? My wife is watching TV now but i will Tryu to capture more logs later on. Happy Holidays!

Thanks Atamariya!

That did serve to cut it down to about 4 seconds. I am attaching new logs.

Any takers?

When the TV is set to SeekByTime = true, it starts at the correct time but i cannot seek because the TV thinks the video is 2 ...

Thanks for the reply!!

I tried the fast start option you suggested and unfortunately it didn't make a difference. Interestingly enough, when I have the seekbytime option set to true, it starts at the very beginning of the video, even when transcoding (only problem is it will only show the video ...

Anybody have any suggestions?

Hey all,

I have been having an issue with my Sony XBR 55x810c. It will not seek when transcode with the SeekbyTime set to "true". I always have to set it to "exclusive" to even begin. When in that exclusive mode, it will play but will only start all videos from the 6 second mark and after. It seems ...

I "figured it out". I did not restore the TV to factory settings but just went through the "1,2,3" setup options which is a lighter version. Everything working like before. Thanks all!
