As you see here you can see the channel only loads for 13 sec then will stop

Is that all of the information requested?

[Luke 42078]

Actually no need. I found the IPTV video url in your log. Try punching that URL into VLC and you'll notice the same thing happens.

 

The reason is because this is one of those video urls where we are supposed to just keep automatically reconnecting and we haven't' added support for that yet. Thanks !

are there plans to add this function soon?

@@ernstgot, we'll try the ffmpeg -stream_loop param and see if that takes care of it. Thanks.

in VLC if i change the para Disc Caching and Network Caching to 9999 then it plays although with a small blip every 20 seconds. 

 

any way of changing the settings in FFMPEG or do we need to wait for an update to emby server?

[Luke 42078]

There is a new release of Emby Server rolling out and we've added the auto_loop param.

My m3u file still loops from anywhere from 3-20sec even with the loop setting on or off.

@@ernstgot, what exactly are you trying to say?

[ernstgot 17]

I have a m3u file for my live tv and when i pick a channel to play the video plays for a few sec's then restarts. I have selected the loop settings to be on and off and neither seem to help the issue.
