mcleanp 2 Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Is it possible to have continuous Live TV on the Roku, i know when i select a channel to watch it prompts me for the show then it loads the stream then it stops when the show is over. If i want to watch the same channel for a few hours, how can i get it to do that. 1
tenchiowo 6 Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 I would also like to know how to accomplish this as well. For instance some of the news channels to have up and running for hours at a time or kids channels that I don't have to start a new selection each time a new show starts.
mcleanp 2 Posted October 15, 2014 Author Posted October 15, 2014 I bought the Roku to replace a XBMC for the simple MediaBrowser integration and the availability of Live tv from the Roku, but if it stops streaming after one show selection i might have to fall back to the xbmc. is there any plans for the continuous live tv?
krustyreturns 191 Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) Are you guys using a dvr backend for live-tv or some other source? If its a dvr backend, which one is it? Edited October 15, 2014 by krustyreturns
mcleanp 2 Posted October 15, 2014 Author Posted October 15, 2014 im using the ceton infinitv eth hardware with serverWMV software back-end integrated with MediaBrowser
krustyreturns 191 Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Interesting. So on the roku client there is no option to just play the channel? Only an option to play the show that is currently on?
Luke 42077 Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 i think we're getting off topic. the method initiating playback on a channel doesn't really have anything to do with live tv stopping after a set period of time or stopping after a program ends. there is nothing in the app or MBS that does that so we're just trying to find out where that's happening.
Spaceboy 2573 Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 There is only an option to play the channel. The epg is incidental on the roku
mcleanp 2 Posted October 15, 2014 Author Posted October 15, 2014 the way its currently designed, you select live tv, choose a channel, then choose the show/time slot.
krustyreturns 191 Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) There isn't a 'play' button below the channel? like this: Edited October 15, 2014 by krustyreturns
krustyreturns 191 Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Ok. If someone can post a swmc log after a live tv stream shuts down, I can see what is happening in the backend. See the debug tab in swmc to find the log.
mcleanp 2 Posted October 16, 2014 Author Posted October 16, 2014 ill get this to you shortly. i started a stream and will post when it completes

krustyreturns 191 Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 @@mcleanp, thanks for the log. Did the stream end correspond to the end of the show you were watching? @@Luke according to the log, MBS starts a live stream in swmc and, a little over three hours later, MBS makes a call to close the stream. Swmc did not close the stream on its own due to some internal error or user specified run length limit. See: 2014/10/16 08:34:08.762 Received client request: MediaBrowser^@CETONWHSERVER@0|::1|OpenLiveStream|46102|IncludeStreamInfo ... 2014/10/16 11:47:41.930 Received client request: MediaBrowser^@CETONWHSERVER@0|::1|CloseLiveStream
mcleanp 2 Posted October 17, 2014 Author Posted October 17, 2014 Your right it didn't close based on a shoe ending. I tried this on both of my rokus and it look like it stops in a few hours. I thought it was shorter. I guess the thing is can we have mediabrowser not shut this down? Or be able to set a limit or no limit for live tv programing?
krustyreturns 191 Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Did you keep the MBS logs from this run? How much disk space do you have on the machine that is running MBS and swmc?
mcleanp 2 Posted October 17, 2014 Author Posted October 17, 2014 Ill attach the log from 10/16 which was when this was ran. The HD where the recording temp folder is created has 1.5TB free, im only using 20GB on a 2TB drive. ServerWMC_20141016.zip
mcleanp 2 Posted October 17, 2014 Author Posted October 17, 2014 OK i mixed up what was just asked, are the logs for MB stored anywhere?
mcleanp 2 Posted October 17, 2014 Author Posted October 17, 2014 OK here are the MB logs, let me know if this is what you are looking for. +File is small, but still too large to attach so I linked it to download below. https://dropbox.chezbebeny.com/public.php?service=files&t=e123d50a1ec3fe51abb443216f95465c
