Issues with my .m3u tuner


Oracle

Recommended Posts

Hey,

 

I subscribed to Helix IPTV yesterday, got it all mapped out and configured it Emby, and come to find out the streams play for a few moments, to about a minute before closing out and going back to guide.

 

It can not be an issue on their end due to the fact that I get perfect viewing on their android app and web browser apps.

 

Any help is nice. Thanks.

Hi.  If they have an option for the type of streams to request, make sure you are requesting .ts and not .m3u (for the individual streams, not the set of channels).

Let me try this and see what happens. Thanks.

 

Toyed around with this, not sure if I'm doing this right.

 

Where should I neccessarily be looking to request these ts streams.

When you download your channel list file from your provider they usually give you an option for the type of streaming file contained within the list.

 

So the option should be on the page where you download your channels file from.

I wasn't given the option to "download" a channel list file, I received everything via Email.

I am assuming that the solution was to change the end of the M3U link from output=m3u8 to output=ts, because I had the same issue before, and figured I would post it for anyone else that may have the same problem.

That is indeed what needed to be done.

this morning --- after having done this several times -- I removed the tuner restarted the server twice then readded the tuner again restarting the server twice for the "you must restart the server message to go away -- and it seems to be working -- I also removed all transcoding so perhaps that was the problem IDK

Please don't rotate the log file. Please attach the complete log file from when the server started. Thanks.

@@knuckle there is a lot of playback activity in this log, from both the web app and what appears to be android tv. Which one should we be looking? And if there was an ffmpeg log, which it appears there was, please attach the corresponding ffmpeg log. thanks.

every device I have tried has the freeze frame issue -- I can restart and it will play fine for a bit and then the freeze frames start again

What's the maximum allowed number of simultaneous streams from your iptv provider?

 

All over the log there's simultaneous activity from multiple clients.

 

Can you reproduce the problem with a single active client only?

 

 

PS: Make sure to change your login credentials with your iptv provider. We have indications that some bad guys are stealing iptv logins from logfiles posted here.

I gave it an unlimited line so not a connections issue -- I see it on every client but not all the time -- the same m3u in plex plugin does not do this -- will change the pass here shortly
