Can't Play More Than One Channel at once

I have an m3u pulling streams from a local tv server on the same machine. Outside of emby I am able to open the same m3u in 4 different vlc windows and play different channels. In Emby i have the simultaneous stream limit set at 4.

 

But in Emby using different clients I can't get more than one or sometimes 2 concurrent streams. If i try and start 4 recordings only one will ever start. if i try and start 4 channels i havent got past 2 so far without the third causing the first two to freeze, the third just shows a spinning circle. often this will happen trying to start the second stream.

 

probably unrelated but trying to restart emby after this causes emby to crash. I've had this working fine on previous installs of emby but i cannot see what is wrong.

I see four simultaneous streams here but i don't see any obvious problems. is it possible you just didn't give them enough time to start? did you check the media portal logs for any info?

strange that you see 4 streams as i am fairly certain it failed during the startup of the third stream. i am certain i gave it enough time because, i did, and after the problem happens i am unable to start any other live tv streams until i restart the server, which crashes it. other media will play. i am also certain this is not a MP problem as my m3u is a combined MP and IPTV collection and this happens with IPTV streams too.

I see four stream attempts with no obvious errors. That's why I'm wondering if maybe you just didn't wait long enough. Regardless of what you're certain about with MP, it is still helpful to review logs from it for the purposes of collecting information.

 

If you can produce an example that doesn't involve MP, then yes we could look at it that way if you prefer.

I'm not able to play more than one live tv channel at a time. One connection stops when another user start playing live tv as well. I found this log when this happen:

Here my emby server log.

 

I don't see any obvious problem here. Does your iptv provider allow more than one simultaneous stream?

That was the problem, I'm asking to have more concurrent channels. Thanks!
