Thanks, that’s helpful.
I’ve just finished a large rewrite of the core video decoder, which should fix a number of bugs including the ANRs and the random buffering sometimes happening during playback (also related to the sync problem I think).
Would appreciate if you could both put the latest alpha through the paces. If an ANR happens again, can you grab adb shell cat /data/anr/traces.txt as well.
Will do, thanks
I’ve had the same anr with the v36 beta, but wasn’t logging at the time. I’ll try and catch the details again in the next few days
Ok, I’ve managed to get the logcat and traces and uploaded them onto dropbox here:

Let me know if there’s anything else you need from it.
I’ve not experienced any issues at all so far other than the channels being replaced with the Welsh versions! I’ve ordered an attenuator as mentioned above in the hope of resolving the issue.
Thanks! I’m uploading build 37 to beta with a fix for the issue I saw in the logs.
Sadly it still crashed with beta 38
Here’s the logcat and traces again:
Thanks.
Does it happen on recording playback only, or live tv as well?
I’ve only seen it on recording playback. It doesn’t happen very often, so when testing I’m choosing a recording and skipping backwards and forwards for usually about 1-2 minutes before it happens.
Once it’s happened it kills pretty much everything until the shield is rebooted. Live tv, dvr stop working and the guide looses pretty much all its data.
Thanks. I’ll see if I can reproduce here with debug symbols.
If you can’t and you want the recording file, let me know and I’ll sort one for you tomorrow as it’s late here.
I tried fff/rw like crazy on both a mpeg2 and h264 recording here and couldn’t reproduce. Maybe it has something to do with aac audio or interlaced h264. Can you upload a recording to google drive or similar?
Will do
I looks like they were all auto backing up to my onedrive anyway so here’s a link to one that I know I’ve had issues with: https://1drv.ms/v/s!AhkBnFp-5uB_jqhq_qXqVe6d_9rNlg
Just so you know my setup I’m running on an nvidia shield for the client and using the dvr on my synology nas drive all with a wired network.
Hrm… I played that recording on my SHIELD and FF/RW through it a bunch of times but couldn’t get it to ANR.
Maybe I’m not doing something that you are? Perhaps you can make a video with your phone so I can see the steps.
For what it’s worth, I am not experiencing any issues at all at the moment. Everything is working great.
Here’s the latest traces and logs to go along with the video

And here’s the recording of things happening

So firstly the video shows the ANR happening in a recorded video.
Then I relaunch channels and try another dvr video (but the same will happen with live tv) that there’s nothing and just an ANR.
Then I launch the hdhomerun app and when it tries to access a channel it just quits (I tried this twice)
Then I launch plex’s live tv which also eventually anr’s
After a reboot of the shield everything is back to working again.
I’ve uploaded a new beta with some big changes that might help with this deadlock issue.
Latest beta has some more major changes to the video decoder and player which should fix seeking stalls. Let me know if you’re still able to reproduce the issue.
I wasn’t debugging at the time but I did have the issue again yesterday just when normally skipping to find the start of the programme
