RTSP Stream on Roku will connect but drop after a few seconds.

We're actually transcoding to a constant framerate already, it could only reach the client as vfr when just remuxing. 

I'm not sure whether the command is meant for the user to execute, but if yes, then they should not encode anything to hls but rather to mp4 or mkv.

Yeah, the code is a bit over my head. I worked at a software company back in the late 90's, as a sysadmin & app tester, not a coder. I'm retired and playing with this stuff for fun now.

Interesting update: I'm playing with a new program installed on my MX Linux server called reostream for my test Reolink camera. ( https://github.com/VoltTech21/reostream ) This is supposed to clean up the feed from the camera for apps like frigate. I used it to create a http stream through the program and set that up on IPTV on the Emby server (also on the same MX Linux server). This now works on the Roku app anywhere from 2 -5 minutes and then drops without any errors. So some progress and maybe something to help you get more ideas. Not sure what reostream is doing but the Roku app seems to like the feed better.

Another interesting update: The http: reostream link is now staying up for long periods after I initialized 'Stats for Nerds'. Something about that is keeping the stream running apparently.

That would be somewhat surprising.  Can you confirm this by turning it off and then seeing if the stream stops?  One time could also be a coincidence but if you could repeat this behavior, it would give us something to look at.

Thanks.

It's sporadic so probably nothing. Mentioned just in case it pointed to something.
