Audio, but no video on some channels

I'm having an issue when tuning to certain Live TV channels on my NVIDIA Shield.  I get audio, but no video.  During playback, I tried to use the option to correct playback issues, but that didn't solve the problem.  I've also tried to disable hardware acceleration for transcoding, but that didn't seem to help either.  

 

I've attached the log from the server.  I also uploaded the logs from the Shield.  

 

For reference:

 

Server Version:  3.2.60.0

Shield Client Version:  1.5.32g

OS:  Windows 10 

Tuned to Channel:  152 - MSNBC HD

 

Anyone seen anything like this before?

 

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi.  When did you send the log and what was the name of the Emby user that was logged in?

 

Thanks.

Okay, this is a new one.  There is no video stream:

We were direct streaming it.

From the app's perspective, there simply is no video stream.  If you use the playback correction option, does it work?

What is even more strange is that if you record the channel with no video during Live TV viewing, the recording works just fine.  Video and audio are perfect on the recording, even though Live TV shows no video.

Was this an IPTV channel?

 

I had this happen yesterday on one of those and it now works fine (and did the day before) so I'm coming to the conclusion in my situation it was related to the source.

In his server log it appears to be hdhomerun, no ffmpeg involved.

 

@@nominion can you please try updating to the latest release of emby server? thanks !

Attached is the latest server log after enabling debug options and restarting the server.  There was no ffmpeg log generated from what I could see in the logs directory.  Also, I enabled debug options on the Sheild Emby client.  Tuned to channel 153.  No video, but there was audio.  Stop watching.  Set the program to record and the recording is fine.  Debug log uploaded at 5:15 PM eastern time from the Shield client.  Logged in user was "nvs".

The logs from the Emby app should have been uploaded around 5:15 PM eastern time. Please let me know if they didn’t come through.

And the remaining info?

 

These apps have the option to send an app log to us electronically.  You enter the settings page and turn on the "Debug Options".  Now there will be a new tile on your home page settings row labelled "Send Log".  Reproduce your problem and then use this button to send the log.  Then add the following information to your report in the forum:
 
  • Exactly what you were doing and what happened.  Include the name of whatever you played if it is a playback problem
  • The time you sent the log
  • The name of the Emby user on the local server that was logged in at the time

Assuming I'm looking at your log, it is the same thing we saw before.  There simply is no video track:

If you use the "Playback Correction" feature, a couple of times (try it until it starts transcoding) do you get video?

Playback correction doesn't seem to do anything in this case

 

It's not any audio only stream. It's live TV such as CNBC.

 

I can record the channel and it works. Audio and video are perfect. Matter of fact, when I uploaded the debug logs from the Emby app, which @@ebr has seen, I was recording the stream and trying to watch at the same time. Recording the stream works, viewing it live does not.

How many times did you try it?  Try it about 3 times in a row...

 

 

It's not any audio only stream. It's live TV such as CNBC.

 

Interestingly, when I saw this issue a couple weeks ago, it was also on CNBC...

 

It just started working again the next day though so I tacked it up to a problem at the source.

I will try hitting the playback correction button tonight.

 

One interesting thing is that I tried to view CNBC using Live Channels and I got the same result, audio, but no video.  

 

When watching it directly on my server using the HDHomeRun software, it works fine.  

 

That seems to indicate it's something specific to AndroidTV perhaps.
