Spaceboy 2493 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 i'm not querying the how - happy for the technical team to determine that. just setting out user expectations from this user indeed. how is tvnext progressing? its going to be the main focus of 4.9 isnt it?

But I do like what @Carlois saying about letting Emby take over in the case of a redirect. I also agree that a quality provider is a vital component but failed recordings can also be an isp issue, of which some of us only have one good option. It sounds like these changes would solve both of these problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I was suggesting is about a minute for ffmpeg to try and reconnect then give up. At that point it's back to Emby Server to try and re-establish the connection. My thought is that there could be additional streams available, could have been a stream redirect so the new location of the stream is different, etc. Oh yea, another, when we get stacked channel support (ie one channel with different resolutions) Emby could switch streams to continue if needed. Lots of people get multiple versions of the same channel isuch as 4K, 1080, 720, SD so these could be stacked and used in cases like this. Yes, thats my thought too -- give up, and then Emby re-establishes the connection. However......as of now Emby isnt restarting connections if the stream stops, only for hardware issues. Is this something that can be improved? Would be great if a recording gets restarted for ANY reason if the recording stopped before the scheduled end time of the recording. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iiiJoe 55 Posted June 16, 2023 Author Share Posted June 16, 2023 (edited) @LukeLive stream working fine so far. Had a recording that failed though.

iiiJoe 55 Posted June 27, 2023 Author Share Posted June 27, 2023 Ok everyone, haven't been recording alot since it's summer slow time for me on TV, lol. But, I have an example of one that ended early. It was supposed be a 1hr program and I got 40 seconds. The interesting thing is the log. Can you guys please take a look and see what you think? Looks to me like Emby tried longer than 40 seconds embyserver-63823420800.txt recording-conversion-ba9ddec3-70b4-4f9c-be18-453cd25601a9_1.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iiiJoe 55 Posted June 27, 2023 Author Share Posted June 27, 2023 @Lukea little help would be much appreciated. When, in the log, did it start trying to reconnect and for how long? What is the delay max value currently set at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iiiJoe 55 Posted June 28, 2023 Author Share Posted June 28, 2023 Here's another recording that stopped prematurely. It appears that no attempt was made to reconnect. If the command line is as follows, -reconnect 1 -reconnect_streamed 1 -reconnect_delay_max 127 -reconnect_on_http_error 5xx,4xx, then Emby should have initiated a reconnect sequence. Correct? @Lukecan you please advise how the current command line is configured? embyserver(3).txt recording-conversion-ad55c297-c3ab-43d7-9d52-36e67678c255_1.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian_M 4 Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 I've been having this same problem and got around to looking into it a bit more. At least in my case, and I think in your case @iiiJoeit's the exact same as this: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/8774 It looks like the solution, based on my own testing, is to add -reconnect_at_eof 1 to the ffmpeg command line. I may go ahead and write a wrapper for ffmpeg and see if I can fix it that way, or maybe a transcoding setting can do that. I've only used Emby for a few weeks, so I'm still learning a lot!

iiiJoe 55 Posted July 4, 2023 Author Share Posted July 4, 2023 @Brian_Mthanks for joining the conversation! @BoomerGamer62found an excellent article on solving these issues: https://medium.com/intrasonics/robust-continuous-audio-recording-c1948895bb49 I believe @Lukeis trying to implement these changes in beta but I don’t believe we’ve seen any difference so far. Would you mind sharing how you did your testing? Wouldn’t mind trying this myself. We’re you able to keep your recordings alive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
