Live Streaming Stops

[ab123ga 18]

Not sure if this is purely coming from the streaming links so thought I would ask the question and also see if there's any strategies. I stream sports sites using m3u links. When I hit play it works fine on all of my systems: Web, FireTv etc. It will work fine for a random # of minutes and freeze. I just have to hit the back button and play again, etc.  I see in the logs an exit command but I don't know where that's coming from. I've attached 3 samples. I've set my system to ensure auto to ensure direct stream and lowered it below the speed (5M/s) to ensure transcoding. 

1) Is the Exit coming from the provider? 

2) If yes to the above, are there any strategies available to overcome them? It would be nice if the app can dynamically recreate the play action and just start streaming over again but that may be a major lift.

I don’t have the skills to dissect your logs but it’s pretty much always the provider using some non-standard method for keeping the connection alive.

I would suggest using a dedicated app that’s been designed to handle the peculiarities.

The other alternative would be to proxy the stream somehow.
