Here We Go Again.. Can't watch a show in webplayer without it quitting a thousand times

Here We Go Again.. Can't watch a show in web player without it quitting a thousand times. I've changed settings, transcoders, quality. I should have never changed to the beta!!! This was what I was afraid of. Now I will spend more time trying to troubleshoot something then getting to watch it. SAD!!

A cursory glance looks like there's some corruption or something with the input stream—meaning there were problems with the original recording.

However, when I switched the DVR software off the Beta and moved back to the 2019.12.05.0128 version, the program (Gordon's Program) played correctly and no more stop and starting. Also, watched two other recorded programs, Conan and Mom and no start and stops when using 2019.12.05.0128.

Could you upload the problem recording to https://send.firefox.com/ and email the link to [email protected]?

We haven’t had other complaints about this sort of behavior and are about to push a new stable DVR release, so we’d like to understand whats happening before we do.

I am sorry, I am unable to send you the program. After watching it, I deleted it, (habit) I didn't think about keeping it at the moment. Sorry!

Was it recorded from TVE? Or PRIME?

It was recorded from PRIME.
