Live TV constantly stops, buffers or stutters.

I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure this one out. I'm using xteve/threadfin to filter my channels from my provider and then feeding that to Emby.

I do not.

Here's another log. I've tried xteve/threadfin with an FFMPEG buffer of varying sizes, VLC buffer and no buffer. All result in the same exact issues. Here's a log from using it without a buffer.

Combing through the logs I've noticed this error
