RedZone not working

Post by banders5144 »

On Verizon FiOS with a Prime. Trying to watch it on a Phillips Android TV. The video begins and then freezes and then audio cuts in and out every 3 seconds.

I have enabled diagnostics. My ID is 131108EE

Channel number is 835 if you see multiple streams

The app is using software video decode and the CPU can't keep up. It defaults to hardware decode so it may have detected a problem with hardware decode.

Can you please exit the app then launch it again so it detects the codecs again.

Just tried again, force stopped the app, restarted the TV, same issue. If I go to another HD channel like CBS HD (502) no issues, only RedZone on this TV (Phillips Android)

Ok, your TV reports a MPEG2 codec but this codec was broken when we tested it in 2022 so the app ignores it.

I am not sure why software decode isn't keeping up.

I will talk with my team on Monday.

Understood thanks. I think we had this exact problem before. Something about a blacklist issue

Sign up for the beta program for the Android app at https://play.google.com/apps/testing/co ... ndust.view and an updated version that fixes the software decode issues will be available if you go into the play store and check for updates.
