yauiclient resume hang (using Play)

[artmetz]

Martin,
In this case, I accidentally exited playback during a game, then hit play to resume and wound up on a blank (blue) screen. I've had this issue happen before, but wasn't at a good spot to capture a log. Usually I'm recording several games and jumping around between them. So a bit of a stress test.
I think this is around the point of interest in the log
2026-09-27 11:09:09.184 [DEBUG][8] Got request [10.8.19.77]: /control

This is from a client machine.
After restarting or removing the sid from the json file the recording has lost the resume position.

First you picked the wrong "Other Clients" sub-forum this is not the one for y3 this is for sub's Other Clients. It is very confusing.

You are correct with the problem line, @BrettB has identified this too, sometimes when a play is started, the server doesn't initiate a play request X-Activity to the client.

Code:

So the server thinks it is playing video (from the start) but the client gets into an undefined GUI state.

When you first started watching earlier you can see what a play with resume X-Activity looks like as it should come in,

Code:

2026-09-27 10:33:48.992 [DEBUG][112] Returning X-Activity: { "level": 4, "url": "/stream?client=c0a1595588984c098ecc94708755d322&seek=214&f=D%3A%5Cnextpvr%5CCollege%20Football%5CCollege%20Football_20260926_19302100.ts", "screen": "player-PlayerOSD", "recording_id": "510113", "recording_name": "College Football", "recording_title": "College Football", "recording_description": "Washington State welcomes Arizona to Pullman as both teams collide in Week 4 game.

I've had a look at the server code but the UI client processing threads are a little too complex so sub would need to fix this.

ok, Just to add to this, I tried NLite yesterday right after having the issue and the screen was blank as well. So that would point to a server side issue I suspect.

I think I can reproduce the issue if that will help.
