Live TV freezes with black screen after 20 minutes

[Kcircuit 3]

As per the title, recently updated to 4.8.11.0 and sometimes when watching live tv the screen on my device will just go blank and go back to the tv guide.

I can see this error in the event log which looks suspicious, I'm watching the stream on an android phone.
Is it the provider or the server, i can see the ffmpeg log has some errors at the end of the log, it could be getting poor data.
Any suggestions ? Thanks

I was just testing this by watching the stream on my android phone and Chrome on my PC at the same time and the phone froze and stopped but chrome continues to play on the pc.
Both are transcoding to reduce bitrate as I'm remote.

Hi, what is your live tv source, iptv? You can see right in your log, at some point during the stream your provider starts sending back 404 not found responses:

2025-03-14 19:07:07.576 Info HttpClient: Http response 404 from http://host11/x_path18_x/x_path19_x after 401ms. Headers Server=nginx, Date=Fri, 14 Mar 2025 08:07:09 GMT, Connection=close, Access-Control-Allow-Origin=*

It's almost as if the stream url changes right in the middle of it?

Hummm I see, that's potentially a problem.

It was just strange the stream on the android app would stop but the chrome webpage would continue.

 

I'll continue to monitor and investigate the logs again when it happens, thanks.
