Samsung TV: Video plays but cannot pause or seek
Hey, long term DMS user here, really appreciate such a lightweight useful tool. I've used DMS with my Roku in the past, now trying to get it working properly on a Samsung Smart TV.
When accessing DMS on this Samsung TV, the Videos load and play just fine, but 'pause' and seek are both grayed out and don't work. When accessing the very same videos via a router USB stick network share, pause and seek behave just fine (including with mkv/x265 videos).
I saw this issue https://github.com/anacrolix/dms/issues/73 but it's not quite what i'm experiencing. Though just like them, i tried minidlna and that did work for seeking too (i prefer this program otherwise though).
Let me know if there's any more details i can provide or new compiled builds i can test. I'm on Windows using latest available 1.6.0 build from 2023.
I think we might need to make a few of the changes suggested in that issue. I don't have a Samsung TV to test.
Just compiled master with #169 and gave it a test, and everything seems to work on Samsung TV now. I'll continue testing a variety of files but nothing obvious broke and pause/seek behaves properly now (and isn't grayed out).
Big thanks to @skunkie for the fix! 🥇
Oh wow, nice work. Thank you for confirming @skunkie's fix. If you are having success with it, I could issue a new release if we don't yet have one that includes that PR.
