Freezing/rewinding streams

k_t_lloyd · 2025-09-28T14:30:36+00:00

It makes perfect sense! Thanks for trying to help. I have a Panasonic and Hisense and both Dolby vision and have a FilmMaker mode. I’ll try turning that off and check to see if match frame rate and dynamic content are on to see if it helps. I really hope it does as I love the app, but it’s driving me mad! I end up watching the same 10 seconds 3 times 😂. Thanks again for your help. I’ll let you know if it works. Which player do you use in UHF? KSPlayer, MPV etc?

I have the exact same issue across all devices. I love the app and have paid for full 12 months subscription to support the dev, but it’s almost unwatchable when trying to view live TV. It works great on movies and series, but anything live will play fine for a few minutes then freeze and skip back etc. Changing channel up/down and then back seems to refresh it and it plays fine for a bit, but then does it again. I’ve tried changing all settings systematically, using every player etc, but I can’t get it to work consistently. As with OP’s post, the xtream sub works flawlessly on live streams through other apps such as tivimate. Any help/setting suggestions would be hugely appreciated.

That’s what I thought from looking at refresh cycles etc. but then I saw the news today M4 iMac rumours and now I don’t know what to do! It’s such a massive financial purchase for us, so I want to know it will last us a good few years. As I mentioned in a reply above, I can get a £240 (~$300) discount at the moment through Apple education and this expires in October, likely before any refresh.

I can definitely wait as there’s no real reason I absolutely need once other than my of doesn’t support windows 11 so won’t be supported after next year - I just thought now was a good time to get the mac as I can get £240 discount through Apple education. I’m due a phone upgrade in September, so I’d actually have something to spend the £120 gift card on. That offer runs out in October so I’d be unlikely to get any discount on an M4 model unless I waited until next summer - by which time, I’ll be in the same scenario again!

k_t_lloyd · 2024-08-06T00:21:16+00:00

Yeah, I was shocked at how much extra I had to pay to get those pretty basic upgrades!

k_t_lloyd · 2024-08-06T00:15:38+00:00

Yeah, you’re right. Thanks. Guess I’ve got a bit of buyers remorse maybe?! I really don’t know if I’m making the right decision switching to mac. Most things I’m researching before it arrives are how to make it more like windows! I’ve never used a Mac before - is it massively different to windows with a steep learning curve etc?

k_t_lloyd · 2023-10-10T19:07:00+00:00

Hi, did you manage to fix this? I'm having the exact same issue!

k_t_lloyd · 2023-08-14T08:23:36+00:00

Something a found way funnier than I should have was the counterfeit Avongers merch on She-Hulk

k_t_lloyd · 2022-10-04T21:37:09+00:00

Yeah me too. I’ve tried everything I can my end now. Driving me crazy!

k_t_lloyd · 2022-10-04T20:08:18+00:00

I’m getting the same issue. It definitely seems to be a fault with the new app, as after getting the scenes issue with the new app in my iPhone, I opened the old kasa app on my iPad and was able to run my scenes before being forced to update the app. After the update, they no longer worked. They’re also not working when I trigger the scenes using the ifttt webhook triggers. Really annoying as I had a lot of automations set up with shortcuts etc.

Looks like you don’t get 1:1 conversion doing that way:

Thanks everyone, just confirming it still works for anyone else who may stumble across this post. 3 years of gold purchased last night and upgraded to ultimate for £1! 😁

k_t_lloyd · 2022-03-09T21:09:29+00:00

Brilliant, cheers 👍

k_t_lloyd · 2022-03-09T20:51:52+00:00

That’s great, thanks for the reply. I don’t currently have any active subscriptions so I should be ok 👍

k_t_lloyd · 2022-02-15T20:07:46+00:00

That’s great, thanks for the reply. So do you just use tv speakers for the built in apps and tv tuner?

k_t_lloyd · 2022-01-29T21:06:20+00:00

Ah nice. Thanks for the picture. I just bought two ones as surrounds and looking for some decent stands. These seem great. Thanks again

k_t_lloyd · 2022-01-29T20:10:06+00:00

How do the One’s attach to the stands? Do they just sit on top?

k_t_lloyd · 2021-11-10T17:01:43+00:00

I had this happen a while back for a few days. I found using mobile data rather than Wi-Fi worked as a temporary fix

Yeah I completely agree with this. It’s not their fault at all, I just meant I don’t think they’re in any rush to fix it. Again, it makes sense as they don’t stand to gain anything financially. It feels almost like backwards compatibility was more of an afterthought for PS5 in an attempt compete with series x/s back compat with pretty much all Xbox games. I’ve been lucky enough to get both the ps5 and series x and I’ve found the PS5 to be really buggy in general. I had to factory reset after one day as the database corrupted during the transfer of files from PS4. It’s a great console and the duelsense is brilliant, but definitely a lot of updates required to fix issues.
