[thor2002ro 5]

windows server running latest beta with live tv and dvb viewer plugin

 

live tv works but there are no options to switch audio stream or enable subtitles 

 

ffmpeg is listing all the streams in log

Yes, no chance to switch audio tracks or to enable subtitles for live tv with external tv plugins in browsers and both android apps.

This problem exists since you've implemented caching of the live tv probe.

[thor2002ro 5]

and.... can we do anything about it? seams a pretty big thing to be omitted since emby's focus is not supporting tv tuners directly with decoding and all.... so most of the time a 3rd party server will be used....

Are you setting the MediaSource.Id value?

Are you setting the MediaSource.Id value?

Yes, but it changes with every play attempt!

[Luke 42078]

What do you mean by that?

[pünktchen 1409]

What do you mean by that?

I mean every time a live tv stream is requested i set a new unique mediasource id in the plugin. Otherwise this would happen: User 1 starts streaming channel A, after that user 2 also starts streaming channel A. If user 1 now stops streaming channel A, it would also stop the stream for user 2.

Ok. I'm not sure if this will resolve it yet, but please try the next beta server. Thanks.

[Luke 42078]

Ok i have this working for the next release, but only if the MediaSource coming out of the plugin is using the http protocol. I'll look at more protocols later but this is all i can test with next pvr. @@pünktchen, do either of your plugins return a file based media source? if so then we can work together and get that sorted out.

 

It's basically running through the same mechanisms as our native tuner support, so going forward that will make this quite a bit more reliable.

Works in browsers and both Android apps.

Great job!

Bravo.
