Error recording 2 channels - M3U simultaneous stream limit


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi,

My IPTV provider allows 2 simultaneous connections, so I should be able to record 2 channels at once. I was actually able to do that when I tested but yesterday morning I was not.

Could it be possible that one of the previous streams was not properly closed?

2021-08-28 06:25:00.021 Error M3UTunerHost: Error opening tuner

Is this a known issue? Do you think this lies with my IPTV provider of not properly keeping track of streams or Emby?

Can DM full log if needed.

 

Thanks!

Hi, Is it possible a stream was being used for Live TV or already recording?

Yes one recording was already happening. No Live TV as I was asleep haha.

So it should have been able to record again.

 

I wonder where that limit of 2 was raised? I think my IPTV might cut off the first stream when trying to stream a third, not sure - then I could increase the limit on Emby and it would just cancel whatever was running

Keep in mind it could have been a provider error as well.

Thanks for your time on this one. So you're saying that the error below could come straight from the provider? Will try to see what happens when I watch or record actually more than 2 (different or same error...)

MediaBrowser.Controller.LiveTv.LiveTvConflictException: M3U simultaneous stream limit has been reached.

To be honest, I think that is Emby tracking the stream count so I don't think it's a provider issue.

That's how I interpreted the error message too. Will try to increase the stream limit on Emby and see what happens 🤞
