m3u Channels not playing

[wbiggart 0]

Hello,

 

I have setup an m3u tuner for live tv, but I am unable to play any of the channels. I have attached the ffmpeg logs which show the error. When I attempt to run the ffmpeg command by hand without the "rtsp_transport tcp" flag, it runs just fine. Is there any way to make it so that emby doesn't try and force tcp?

 

Thanks in advance.

I just had similar issues reported in this post https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/51536-struggling-with-the-basics-of-iptv/. It turns out that my issues where all due to my own ignorance: I had a bad m3u file.

 

Have you tested the m3u file in VLC? If that does not work the issue is outside emby.

[wbiggart 0]

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I have tested the file with VLC and it works.

It would appear that your ffmpeg build does not have support for the rtsp protocol. Where did you get this build? thanks.

[wbiggart 0]

I installed ffmpeg via brew. 

 

The version of ffmpeg I am using can handle rtsp.

 

It's my understanding the error "Protocol not supported" is being thrown because the server doesn't handle TCP. For instance, if I manual type the command omitting the rtsp_transport flag it will connect over UDP.  

 

So this command fails:

ffmpeg -analyzeduration 3000000 -rtsp_transport tcp -fflags +igndts -f rtsp -i "rtsp://mafreebox.freebox.fr/fbxtv_pub/stream?namespace=1&service=201"

But omitting the "rtsp_transport tcp" works just fine

ffmpeg -analyzeduration 3000000 -fflags +igndts -f rtsp -i "rtsp://mafreebox.freebox.fr/fbxtv_pub/stream?namespace=1&service=201"

I really have no idea what you mean here sorry. This really has nothing to do with emby server because you could just as easily run the same command line from the terminal without emby server

Can we set multiple instead of just one?

rtsp_transport
Set RTSP transport protocols.

It accepts the following values:

‘udp’
Use UDP as lower transport protocol.

‘tcp’
Use TCP (interleaving within the RTSP control channel) as lower transport protocol.

‘udp_multicast’
Use UDP multicast as lower transport protocol.

‘http’
Use HTTP tunneling as lower transport protocol, which is useful for passing proxies.

Multiple lower transport protocols may be specified, in that case they are tried one at a time (if the setup of one fails, the next one is tried). For the muxer, only the ‘tcp’ and ‘udp’ options are supported.

I have the same issue as wbiggart. In my case the streaming server is a FRITZ!Box cable modem (it's dvbc feature). This started recently and could be caused by an update of the FRITZ!Box software (currently 06.84), or an update to the emby server. if I try to capture the stream by hand, omitting the -rtsp_transport flag also fixes the problem for me.

[wbiggart 0]

I think the solution would be to edit the following entry in the EncodingHelper.cs file:

 

from:

if (state.InputProtocol == MediaProtocol.Rtsp)
{
inputModifier += " -rtsp_transport tcp";
}

to:

if (state.InputProtocol == MediaProtocol.Rtsp)
{
inputModifier += " -rtsp_transport tcp -rtsp_transport udp -rtsp_flags prefer_tcp";
}

Glad to helpful, and thanks for a great product!

[kro 4]

same issue in 2018, the file has not been updated...

I tried in command line : -rtsp_transport tcp -rtsp_transport udp -rtsp_flags prefer_tcp did the trick

actually my issue might be somehow different :

I could not reproduce this error "Operation not permitted" using ffmpeg in command line though.
But still, with "-rtsp_transport tcp -rtsp_transport udp -rtsp_flags prefer_tcp" we don't loose time trying udp, so I guess it would be a nice add.

I'm running emby-server 3.5.0.0
This issue occures whatever browser (firefox) / client (emby for android) I use.

Same issue after upgrading to 3.5.3.0

 

I use docker with these ports exposed :
- "8097:8096"
- "554:554"
- "7359:7359/udp"

 

I could not open port 1900/udp because some python script already seems to be using it. Would it be related ?

// edit : that was uPnP option in deluge (in my case), I disabled it so I could open it for emby, but that doesn't solve the problem.

[Luke 39657]

Doesn't that error usually mean that it had trouble reading the source stream?

[kro 4]

I don't know.

 

Anyway I have absolutely no issue reading any of these streams with VLC from the host machine. They are TV channels.

I have exposed the port 554 which seems to be the default one for rtsp with no success.

 

Still I know how to run command line from within the container (but I don't know how to install anything yet, what distro is it based on ?), so tell me if there is anything I should try.

Edited November 22, 2018 by kro

[kro 4]

Here are the info I can get with VLC about the media :

 

H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10)

res 720x578

display res 720x576

25fps

Planar 4:2:0 YUV

 

Audio MPEG AAC (mp4a)

Stereo

48000Hz

extension SBR

... some other stuff (more audio and teletext)

 

nothing weird from my persperctive

 

the trick might be that mafreebox.freebox.fr is a special domain closely tight to the ISP, that doesn't answer ping from another ISP, but I have no issue grabbing the m3u data on the same domain, and it answers ping from the container.

 

[Luke 39657]

I guess we have have to find what command line changes are needed, and then more importantly we have to figure out how to determine that we should apply them.

 

Our docker container is based on arch Linux, if that helps.

[kro 4]

from the container

/bin/ffmpeg -analyzeduration 3000000 -rtsp_transport tcp -rtsp_transport udp -rtsp_flags prefer_tcp -fflags +igndts -i "rtsp://mafreebox.freebox.fr/fbxtv_pub/stream?namespace=1&service=201&flavour=ld"

returns this could not find codec parameters error.

 

but no error with the same ffmpeg command from the host machine (except I'm supposed to specify an output file)

with ffmpeg version 3.2.10-1~deb9u1~bpo8+1

 

So I guess it must be a ffmpeg version / compilation / configuration issue ?

If you'd like to try the beta channel that would be helpful. There are some libs missing from the ffmpeg build in the stable release. They've been added back on the beta channel.

...after a few backups

emby/embyserver:beta (3.6.0.66) gives another error :

 

Playback Error

No compatible streams are currently available. Please try again later or contact your system administrator for details.

 

This happens as soon as I click on play, while with the stable version the player shows sthing a full black video with no sound (and the spinner keeps spinning).

 

I can't find anything related to this error in the log, just antoher reccurent one (every 10 sec) :

/system/EmbyServer.dll sounds like a weird command

Remove the kodi sync plugin.
