Video Images Freezing when Scrubbing footage in "Browser"
Hi Ben,
Just upgraded my SS setup. I currently have 5 cameras going now on the latest version of SS, 3 axis and two Hikivison. I plan on adding about 4-5 more in the next few weeks.
I started to play around with the "Browser" view now that I have a handful of cameras recording footage and I am coming across a weird bug. The video streams all play fine at 1x and 2x, but when I speed it up to 4x, 8x, or even 16x, often a few of the cameras will freeze on a frame instead of playing at the sped up rate until I stop the speed increase and play from 1x. This is happening pretty consistently for me and is happening for all of the cameras (not all simultaneously though, usually two or three of the five). I would like to watch the footage back for a few hours at speeds around 4x or 8x and I can't really do that as is. Currently all footage is recoding to a 6tb WD external over USB 3. This whole setup is running on a brand new retina 4k imac 3.6ghz quad core i7 with the latest version of SS. Any tips would be helpful so that I can successfully use the file browser feature with increased speed playback.
In addition, small feature request. When in the browser view, it would be nice to be able to zoom in on a camera window the way it can be done in the group video windows. It would be nice to have the ability to double click on a certain camera and pop that view open into its own window on top of the file browser playback.
thanks ben! appreciate the help.

If you play back just a single camera at 4x, 8x or 16x speed, so you see the same problem? How about two cameras together?
And thanks for the feature suggestions, I can see that these additions would be useful.
The freezing images actually happen when fast forwarding just one camera or when fast forwarding more than one camera. It also only seems to happen when I exceed 2x, but its very random. Really hope its not a CPU issue given that I just bought this maxed out retina iMac.
Any recommendations or next steps here? Information you may need from me?
I wonder if this is the key frame rate in the recording making it difficult to play back certain speed multiples.
Any update on this? Thank you very much.
Sorry for the delay in this. Thrilled to report back that the beta version fixes this issue perfectly. Looking forward to this fix in the next production release. I'll be running off the beta until in then. Thanks so much for promptly addressing this.
