When watching on emby the stream just kicks you back to the guide like every 20-120 seconds.. all of the logs look the same as the one above.... all goes well, no buffering, then everyone just gets booted back to the guide... can start the stream right back up no issues.

Carlo 4330 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Was this a regular streaming TV channel or VOD content? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softworkz 3335 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 In all cases cases of tv provider streaming issues: Always start with changing your password at the tv provider Next, enter the new password only in Emby Server - nowhere else and don't tell anybody Then, try again and make sure that your simultaneous streams limit does not get hit If that doesn't help: Install the Diagnostics Plugin Configure ffmpeg log level to "Verbose" and reproduce We want to see the http error response code that are being received (if they don't show, debug log level might be required) Use this information for creating a case with your provider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular TV channel, not using VOD at all. @softworkz, that is assuming the problem is on the providers end but in my case many times a channel has those hickups on Emby the exact same channel plays just fine on my PC using VLC. So, not quite sure it is a provider issue alone... Iirc the settings we set using the diagnostic plugin get resetted once the server gets restarted, right?

Not quite and I'm not assuming anything. The upper part is about making sure that your password hasn't been compromised and your streams limit doesn't get exceeded. Other clients might retry/reload more aggressively and could even hide a problem like that (I can't say anything specific about VLC). Now it needs to be understood, that the log that is shown in the OP is an ffmpeg log. In case of HLS, Emby uses ffmpeg as HLS client and lets it do all the work (these things will all change in the future, but we're not there yet..). On the other side, almost all of those providers are using ffmpeg for creating and delivering the streams. And on the client side, we have ffmpeg again. There's actually not "much Emby" in this game. So when an ffmpeg as HLS client cannot reliably receive an HLS video stream generated by ffmpeg at the server side, then this is something that needs to be reported to the provider rather than Emby. The only responsibility of Emby in this situation are the parameters used to run ffmpeg, but it's very unlikely that this could cause a problem with these specifics. PS: Just for clarity - what I'm saying here is valid for HLS. In the case of continuous MPEGTS streams via http, Emby is responsible for receiving those streams.

Carlo 4330 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I suppose this could be easily proven/tested by using ffmpeg standalone to record a stream and see if there is any problems this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softworkz 3335 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I'm sure that there won't be any different behavior between ffmpeg running "outside" or "inside" Emby (given the same command), because "inside" is still out-of-process. Guys, please follow the instructions that I have given above from top to bottom; that provides the best chances to get behind this with the least effort.

neik 837 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 @softworkz, I will send you a (verbose) log from a channel that only showed a spinning circle on Emby and at the same time played just fine on VLC (both on my PC). I don't see anything special in that log but maybe you could have a look in a spare minute (or two). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
