ewalkersc 8 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Sometimes when recording an IPTV channel, the recording stops very early. This does not happen all the time, but does happen regularly. I can record a two hour show fine and then sometimes when trying to record a half hour or hour it stops part of the way through. What can I do to troubleshoot the root cause of this? I'm thinking it's possible that the stream gets interrupted; if that's the case is there a way for Emby to resume or retry that recording if it's supposed to still be recording and it's not?

maegibbons 1267 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 *sigh* I reported this ages ago (seven months) and nothing has happened. Currently the streamcopy process is not very smart nor robust and does not detect when the stream has failed due to network interruption. What needs to happen is that a check on the birate of the stream needs to be done and if it is below a certain limit the file should be closed and a new stream copy started with a -1 -2 or -3 etc etc apended to filename - just as it would do if the server was restarted. Yes it would not be one file but at least you would get "most of" the recording you were trying to get albeit in segments. It was suggested at the time to use the transcode on record option but it never really worked for me with lots of small 0 btye files. It was a bit of a workaround anyway. A more resilient streamcopy process is required. Krs Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbc0 63 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Hi, Did anyone make any progress with this? I am experiencing the same problem and will carry it on from here if needed. I am positive that it is because of a stream interruption as the same happens in DVBLink IPTV. If there is a way to enable emby to carry on recording during the stream breaks it would be amazing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShotToTheDome 7 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I had to use tvheadend and pipe the iptv feeds through ffmpeg to resolve this. Native emby iptv doesnt allow piping in the m3u entries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickUK 0 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) I've the exact same issue with IPTV, It gets about 50% through the TV Show and then stops. I'd also like it to retry if there is an error and continue running. frame=18567 fps= 27 q=26.0 size= 307076kB time=00:12:23.25 bitrate=3384.5kbits/s speed=1.08x frame=18614 fps= 27 q=24.0 size= 307076kB time=00:12:25.11 bitrate=3376.1kbits/s speed=1.09x frame=18631 fps= 26 q=23.0 size= 307076kB time=00:12:25.83 bitrate=3372.8kbits/s speed=1.05x [h264 @ 0000000001d6b4c0] error while decoding MB 47 38, bytestream -9 [h264 @ 0000000001d6b4c0] concealing 562 DC, 562 AC, 562 MV errors in B frame frame=18652 fps= 26 q=-1.0 Lsize= 310013kB time=00:12:26.04 bitrate=3404.1kbits/s speed=1.05x video:284008kB audio:25614kB subtitle:0kB other streams:0kB global headers:0kB muxing overhead: 0.126274% Edited October 5, 2017 by NickUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
