Yes that was increased a little bit.

Ok. Can you advise what number was used? Was it increased to 127?

It’s 4.

So the ffmpeg re-try is only going to last 26 seconds?!? A “delay_max 4” is a fraction of the recommended “delay_max 127”. Will Emby start trying to reconnect after the 26 seconds?

Yes more options to control it are certainly possible.

I can confirm I have the same issue. Some recordings stop to record.

Can someone help?

Looks like maybe timeouts at the end of that log? In any case, this example could potentially be improved in the upcoming 4.8 server release. Thanks.

I appreciate your feedback! I have reviewed the beta release notes for version 4.8 and it seems that several issues have been addressed in this update. Could you please provide me with the expected release date for version 4.8?

Not sure if this is related or should be a new thread, but I've also been experiencing issues with recordings only lasting anywhere from 1-35 minutes, when they are scheduled for 120 minutes (and the stream doesn't end since they're 24/7 movie channels).

I've confirmed with my vendor that they use MPEGTS output format by default, and I also just moved my transcoder directory to a larger drive to be safe. Attached are the logs from a recent recording failure, which started at 2023-10-20 10:00:00 (line 588 of embyserver.txt).

If I should be bumping up delay_max as well, let me know :)

Much appreciated

can you watch these streams without any buffering at all? in almost all of these cases its a hiccup in the stream and emby doesnt handle these very well. get a reliable stream and emby is fine

Thanks for the quick reply, and yes this particular channel needs to buffer every now and again. Is there any way I can increase Emby's tolerance with the hiccups, or do we know if Emby's handling of them will be improved in the upcoming update?

If not, does anyone use a supplementary tool that handles recording a stream more robustly? I love Emby in every other way, but the recording live TV has been unreliable

you could try using the buffer in something like xteve or whatever the new variant is called
