Anyone else seen the issue where Channels AppleTV client will sometimes hang/pause when skipping over commercials?
It's intermittent, but it's now happened at least twice across two showings.
I did submit diagnostics last night shortly after it occurred. I'm running DVR pre-release: 2022.01.12.0438
Which source and channel was the recording from?
This was from an MSNBC show (1113) and HDHomeRun Prime recording.
Happens randomly on plutotv channels as well.
Once its happened it does not repeat at the same position so I cannot replicate it enough to describe how to reproduce it so as to report it.
It also didn't happen with the last stable release, it's only something that's been introduced recently.
The time index on-screen shows that the commercials have been skipped however it doesn't automatically restart playback after being skipped.
I was able to record a little video of this behavior when it happened!
Also submitted diagnostics immediately (as can be seen in above video!)
If you go back and try to skip the commercial again, does it happen every time?
I will check next time it happens (Have that show set to delete for every other day).
But my gut says no, going back it skips the commercial just fine (FWIW)
No. Its not repeatable.
As a sidebar issue, the timeline cursor 3 out of 5 times returns to the zero point.
I wonder if it's some legacy debugging code that can't write and thus blocks?
Ok, an update after this happened again. If you go back prior to the commercials after it hangs the first time it seems to completely disregard the commercial detection, but if you leave the show and then resume it will hang again, see the video below for the behavior:
Interesting.
I fixed an issue like this in v5.2.3 which was released today
Have you been using v5.2.2 or the betas?
I'm running 2022.02.03.2057, will try today's beta.
That's the server version. This is a client issue.
Ah, I'm running the latest regular AppleTV release (no testflight / beta)
Latest doesn't tell me if you're running v5.2.2 or v5.2.3
Apologies, just checked, it's 5.2.2
Will update and see how it goes
