abescalamis 76 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I have a paid iptv provider and use and M3U, the issue happens when I play a TV channel that doesn't work it makes Live TV not to work anymore, I will need to restart the emby server for the live tv to work again. The problem is that emby keeps trying to connect to the bad channel forever instead of a timeout, do you know of a setting that might help me fix this issue?

Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. thanks ! The behavior after playing a bad channel: The channel tries to load, then I go check another channel that works and it won't play, it will do the same thing, it will look like is loading, FYI - the server doesn't freeze or anything like that, after playing a bad channel I will need restart the emby server for the channels to start working again. you will see the error easily just look at the very end of the server log I also included the ffmpeg log Edited March 28, 2018 by abescalamis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution Luke 37248 Posted March 28, 2018 Solution Share Posted March 28, 2018 I think the issue is in the source stream. I took the url in your log and attempted to download the live stream. It stopped after about 30 seconds of data. This suggests to me that you need to enable the stream looping option on the m3u setup page. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
informaweb 8 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Hello, He's right, when a TV channel has a mistake, it can not be read, instead of stopping when we go back, it will continue to try to be read. When we try to launch another tv channel. It can not be read because Emby always tries to open the other. We have to restart the server Emby to be able to watch the TV channels again. Emby should stop trying to connect to a bad tv channel as soon as you leave the channel. Or, if it's a mistake, it can automatically restart the IPTV system without having to reboot the server.

Carlo 4331 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I'm having the same problem. If a channel stops working and you happen to tune to that particular channel then Emby is hosed playing IPTV at that point until you restart the server. Bad channels need to timeout in X amount of time and clean up properly so it can continue to work and due recordings, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
