primeflix 1 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 (edited) Hi It doesn't appear that you can watch a programme live and recorded it at the same time using IPTV - is that correct? For example, if I set a recording and then one of my users plays that channel live, the recording stops. Given emby buffers the streams I assumed this wouldn't be a problem. TIA Edit: So after testing, it seems that if there is a recording ongoing and that channel is played by direct streaming, the recording continues. However, if the channel is direct played, the recording is cancelled. Edited November 3, 2020 by primeflix More Information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37010 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Hi, what do you mean by direct played? What Emby app are you playing from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14904 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 How many connections does your m3u tuner allow simultaneously? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primeflix 1 Posted November 4, 2020 Author Share Posted November 4, 2020 A lot. Many more than was being used. Recording seems to be intermittently successful. Sometimes it records perfectly. Othertimes anywhere from 1 to 30 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14904 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Can we please look at a specific example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primeflix 1 Posted November 4, 2020 Author Share Posted November 4, 2020 Sure. I'll try and grab a log for it. Thanks for the replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primeflix 1 Posted November 7, 2020 Author Share Posted November 7, 2020 Did a bit more testing and discovered that it was related to hls (m3u8) streams. What seems to be happening is that emby is happy to play hls iptv as long as only one stream is playing at a time. If another hls connection is made, the first stream gets kicked. Using ts format works fine, but hls has a lot of stability benefits for iptv. Especially when recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have the option to switch your streams to TS format please do that and see if this improves things. Emby will prefer the TS format over HLS. How many streams are you allowed to have simultaneous from your provider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
