IP TV Freezes

[runtimesandbox 171]

IP TV freezes, can be after 30 seconds or can be after 5 mins or more. The IP TV stream is fine as it plays perfectly in other clients (ie vlc etc).

Have tested on both Emby stable and the latest emby beta which both get the same results. Not using hardware transcoding, happens both transcoded and direct stream.

The transcode log file is showing lots of errors in the stream.

If you get these same results on multiple channels it's time to look for a different provider who's streams are more in spec as there isn't going to be anything you can do to fix this on the Emby side.

Weird, as I say the same stream works without issue in VLC?

Having searched around the forum I saw @Luke mention that the library used by emby to play IP tv streams had implemented a retry function which emby set at 1 minute. 

Is this timeout configurable? If not can we get an option to tweak it (even if its just in the advanced xml file).

This is not configurable to the best of my knowledge.

@Luke if its possible to add this I'm happy to do some testing

I @Luke, sorry for the delayed reply. This is where I saw you mention the retry functionality

That is specific to the android apps.
