I used to be able to playback through my mac browser previously, but not any more. I’ve tried in the latest versions of Chrome and Safari and the result is the same.
The interface loads fine and I can select a show to watch (either live or a DVR recording). It begins to load but then says ‘Transcoder Finished’ and that’s the end of it.
Any suggestions as to what I could do? I’m not sure what has changed to break this either.
Thanks!
Does the Log tab show any errors?

Hmm, seems to be related to that channel using mp3 for audio. Do other channel recordings work?
Can you make a 1 minute recording from the same channel which is affected and email it to [email protected]
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. No other channel recordings work, the behaviour is the same. I can arrange to send you a recording sample later today.
Thanks 
what is the url for playback and watching recorded shows on the Mac?
@jdavie I’m testing a fix for this issue. Please open terminal on your mac running the dvr, and paste this command:
curl -XPUT http://127.0.0.1:8089/updater/check/2018.03.07.0153
Then try watching again and let me know if it works or not.
Thanks for looking into this @tmm1. Unfortunately this fix doesn’t appear to have changed anything. I’ll try again tonight after work but a quick test now is giving me the same results.
What does the Log say now?

Also seeing this in the player window now: “The media playback was aborted due to a corruption problem or because the media used features your browser did not support.”
Okay I see what happened. Please try again with:
curl -XPUT http://127.0.0.1:8089/updater/check/2018.03.07.2234
Bingo! Looks like that’s done the job, thank you!! 
@tmm1 Sadly the fix doesn’t appear to have lasted long and it’s behaving as it was before (Transcoder Finished but not playing anything).
What does the Log say now?
My bad, the fix has worked. I think my Mac was playing up when I tried the other day. Have checked again now and is still working.
Thanks again.
