Live TV Stream Failing to Recover

[Aust1n 1]

Hello, I must first admit I am on the edge of TV transmission here. There are a lot of errors from my HDHomeRun Device. On VLC streaming I get a usable video stream, with minor glitching. For the most part I get the same on Emby. However after a few glitches the stream fails and does not recover. Just sits there frozen. What can I do to fix this issue?

I have this issue as well.  A few of our Stations will have glitches, or burps in the transmission (Especially during Football games).  Emby will lock up the playback, instead of recovering.  I then need to back out and go back into the channel.  If I use the HDHomeRun or VLC app they will show the glitch but will recover and continue playing.  Any tunables that we can try?

Thank you!

About 6:37pm.  Channel 13.1.  Wheel of Fortune.

We were watching the 6pm News before it.  Just randomly locked up around 6:37pm.  I also included the small fmepg log file that was created after the lock up.

Thank you!!
