If casting is enabled on TV, streaming apps drop frames #55435

Closed pdawg17 closed 2 years ago

pdawg17 commented 2 years ago

The problem

If I have casting enabled on my Sony oled tv, streaming apps drop frames (stutter every 10-15 seconds). If I turn off HA, the issue is resolved. The other solution is to disable casting in the tv settings. I have also disabled the tv on HA but it does not solve the issue. I saw someone else report this on Reddit with an LG oled.

Hey there @emontnemery, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration (cast) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks! (message by CodeOwnersMention)

QuadNL commented 2 years ago

Same issue here! After months and a TV and new firewall later i found the same yesterday as you did. Disabling casting integration in HA solved this annoying issue, and on a Dutch forum (tweakers.net) a few others have the same too. Its pretty annoying if you watch Netflix and every few seconds there is a framedrop.

I think there are many others who have the same problem as what we have, but finding this ultimate cause was a pretty hard (and expensive) one.

emontnemery commented 2 years ago

@QuadNL, @pdawg17 This could be because of the polling done by pychromecast. With the cast integration disabled in Home Assistant, can you verify the followings triggers the stuttering, and that the stuttering goes away when you terminate the discovery_example script?

git clone https://github.com/home-assistant-libs/pychromecast.git pychromecast_test
cd pychromecast_test/
git checkout 9.2.1
python3 -m venv venv

Yes confirmed. Many dropped frames when running the script then when I stop the script, zero dropped frames...thanks for looking into this...

emontnemery commented 2 years ago

OK, can you share the output of the script until it has discovered your TV?

pdawg17 commented 2 years ago

Oh btw pkg-resources would not install. It says "Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement; no matching distribution found"

Is that needed for output info?

No it's not needed, I just mean the prints like these:

I tried both, first script gave me stutter when running. I have the same problem too with the second script untill stopped, so for me it's not resolved.

OK, so this issue is not limited to Sony TV's then, but more widespread among Android TVs. It's somewhat incredible that opening a https-connection to the TV every few seconds causes stuttering of the video.

OK, so this issue is not limited to Sony TV's then, but more widespread among Android TVs. It's somewhat incredible that opening a https-connection to the TV every few seconds causes stuttering of the video.

@QuadNL, can you try this version instead:

git clone https://github.com/home-assistant-libs/pychromecast.git pychromecast_test_only_poll_audio_casts
cd pychromecast_test_only_poll_audio_casts/
git checkout 5359cbc59ed8ff8fdaa94b8d5caf5e5e40019091
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip3 install casttube==0.2.1 certifi==2021.5.30 charset-normalizer==2.0.5 idna==3.2 ifaddr==0.1.7 protobuf==3.18.0 requests==2.26.0 urllib3==1.26.6 zeroconf==0.36.4
export PYTHONPATH="."
python3 examples/discovery_example.py --show-debug

Don't know if it helps at all but my Sony is on Android 10.

Thank you both for the patience with testing! I don't think we can avoid the initial frame drop, it should at least only happen once when Home Assistant starts.

Please try this version as well though, it will avoid querying the TV for some audio-only related stuff:

git clone https://github.com/home-assistant-libs/pychromecast.git pychromecast_test_only_poll_audio_casts_debug_3
cd pychromecast_test_only_poll_audio_casts_debug_3/
git checkout 9b05eb14521326eef7a94ec6fe466751682a1112
python3 -m venv venv

Tried the version above, so far so good. Initially when TV is discoverd it's receiving a stutter at the streaming video.

And just to confirm, I tried the latest one you posted for QuadNL and it also works fine for me! Just that 1 dropped frame when it starts and then smooth from there! Thanks for your hard work on this!

Well, I bought a new Philips TV and Unifi Dream Machine because of this issue. So it's an expensive bug for me. ;)
