ExoPlayer and IJKPlayer: which one? Why?

I kept getting ExoPlayer fails, so switched to IJK, where I could at least lower the bitrate, which enabled me to actually watch.

But I’m reading here and nearly everyone uses ExoPlayer?

What would be reasons Exo doesn’t want to play nice?
I have no success with Exo but really solid performance with IJK, over wi-fi. Extremely high WAF, which is my core goal!

Interesting. I thought it was just me. Thanks.

Hi All,

Just wanted to let you all know that Amazon finally reviewed and approved v1.10.1. It took a long time. I will work on posting v.1.10.2.

Thanks,
Josh

Yay! Looks like I'm back in business, thanks!

hey folks, this is a bit embarrassing but i've forgotten how to do something i used to know.

now that i'm on the correct fork of the client, most of my settings were carried over but not all.

in particular, i want my guide screen to cover a 3 hour programming period and show 7 channels at a time. then the display would be 6 columns and 7 rows of data............but i cannot find the place to make those changes.

help please!
i'm running the client on an android based nvidia shield pro.

I am doing this on Placeshifter, but it is likely the same on the Android Client. Press Options, then click on Customize. Then you can enter columns and rows.

I am using Gemstone - I don't know if that matters.

the problem was getting the option screen to show up..............i tried it on different starting screens (long press on enter), and one of them eventually gave me the correct options page on screen to make the row/column changes.

my other problems was that i couldn't find a way to enter numbers, so i used the nvidia app on my phone (as i couldn't fine a way to bring up the keyboard with numbers once i got to the menu)

all is well here now, running 3 android clients and sageTV (+ hdhrPrime + cablecard) is still the most reliable system i've found for recording, playback, system optimization and, of course, the incomparable SRE!

Still hopeful that HW decoders will work again for IJK for OTA recordings (Exo never worked). Cant remember which version broke this. Using the SW decoders on my FSMax drops too many frames when theres movement to be watchable :(

Remember that you can use the web remote from the Jetty Web UI. You can use the mobile version or even the full version on your phone, tablet, whatever.

The web remote does not include a button for Options, but this will bring up the Options screen - replace with your server's own IP address:port number and replace the Context with the MAC of your device - that will be obvious from the web remote screen
Code:

I only tried it on one of my Firesticks, but I can also confirm that it works like normal - good video and audio - without having to play with the settings.

Thanks @jvl711 for getting everything fixed!

On the occasional recording from an HD-PVR, I get .ts containers where neither Exo on the MiniClient nor an HD300 will play with any audio, but IJK will. It has something to do with an initial hiccup that happens on 5.1 recordings from DirecTV. Maybe the header in the file is formatted wrong, not sure.

One of these days I'll have to rescue one of these and look at it more closely. Usually I just run them through MediaEncoder to re-encode to MKV which remuxes and fixes the issue. I think it's Hauppague's driver that's the problem and they've never fixed it.

When the MiniClient is set for Dynamic and to always remux should it not try to launch the SageTVTranscoder(ffmpeg)? I never get anything in the SageTVTranscoder.log when the minplayer plays a file. It look like remux always in the MiniClient is not working.

Here is the SageTV log

You are correct fixed remixing is only supported when using fixed streaming. I forgot to disable the fixed remux when streaming mode is not fixed.

Am I SOL for HW decoding via FTV Max for OTA recordings then or is there some secret sauce somewhere to make this work :confused:?

Still hopeful that HW decoders will work again for IJK for OTA recordings (Exo never worked). Cant remember which version broke this. Using the SW decoders on my FSMax drops too many frames when theres movement to be watchable :(

I have this plugin installed but dont know how to use it. Based on the link it appears I need to copy those properties into the sage properties file...but dont understand how to trigger transcoding when i watch an OTA recording.

To clarify, a version or two ago HW decoders worked on FTV using the below method but the second MPEG2 entry no longer appears.

IJK + disable first MPEG2 entry + HW accel turned ON

does anyone else have the occasional crash when shuttling (VCR terminology! ;)) forward or backward with the mini client? And if so, are you using the comskip plugin for marking commercial breaks? I still have times when the client will suddenly quit while doing this on a Chromecast w/Google TV.

(I think i'm on the latest, 1.10.1/2)

I have added closed caption support to ExoPlayer. Just wanted to give you guys a preview of what is coming in the next release. I am going to post a beta to my Patreon supporters.

Was able to get MKV transcoding working on the miniclient and the PQ is better than the IJK software decoders BUT when I FFWD or RWD it always locks up so back to the IJK ffmpeg decoders for best overall experience.

Got my hands on a TVision (Android TV) stick expecting the same result and WOW the PQ using IJK is fantastic because it uses IJK hardware decoders. FFWD and RWD is flawless too. :thumb:

Please don't tell me that the secret for watching quality OTA recordings via the miniclient is ditching FTV…:(
