softworkz 3324 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 At least in one of your ffmpeg logs, your iptv provider returned an authorization error: [http @ 0000021474472680] HTTP error 403 Forbidden http://venom.media:8080/live/PlexGaMxxx/xxxxxxx/13993.m3u8: Server returned 403 Forbidden (access denied) For further investigation it would still be good to have a log with a single client session only.

mark-in-dallas 86 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 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 My guess is that is the problem. I don't know of any IPTV provider that allows for unlimited connections. Most allow only between 1 to 3 connections at a time. I have a 2 connection limit with my IPTV provider and had a similar issue just last month, but haven't had the issue since changing my password. It looks like you are using Venom Media, and according to their website they have 3 plans: $8.99 per month for 1 connection. $12.99 per month for 3 connections, and $17.99 per month for 5 connections. If you are using the maximum number of connections and try to stream beyond that, it can cause the looping or spinning wheel issues, and even if you are not the one attempting to stream more connections than your service allows, it is possible that some bad guys are, as softworkz mentioned. Also, when I tried the variable bitrate hls or m3u8 stream, I had the looping issues as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knuckle 0 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 as stated before -- it is an unlimited line and there are no connection limits and if I pull up the same channel in plex and play them side by side emby freeze frames where plex does not -- so does plex just handle the hls streams better because when I switched to TS is when I saw the looping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

softworkz 3324 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 It's difficult to see this from the logs. Was there an ffmpeg log as well? What happens when you start watching a stream and after like 10s you pause (not stop) playback for like 30s and then continue watching? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knuckle 0 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Pausing does help but having to pause every few minutes is as aggravating as the freeze frames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

softworkz 3324 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 The stream data is received and processed fast enough, at least. We're currently working on some significant updates to this area though. I've put you on a list and contact you as soon as we're ready for testing the new stuff.

knuckle 0 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 yes I created the line and it does take eventually but the process is a huge pain -- in this last week I have had to change a few things in "that world we are in right now" and every time it has taken several restarts to get emby to take the changes ..

pir8radio 1292 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) put this in the user agent field for your m3u tuner in emby. Most of the xtream servers block emby because you are not allowed to re-stream. and Helix doesn't offer unlimited concurrent connections.
