LiveTV refuses to play one station...troubleshooting ideas?

[jlficken 3]

LiveTV has been working great except that it seems to hate KOLN-TV (10.6) locally.  It appears to be transcoding as the GPU is showing activity, however, it just never starts playing.

Where can I look to troubleshoot this?

I'm running a P2000 and Emby is running as an UnRAID docker.

 

I see this in the log:

ETA: On a side note this channel does seem to work on Plex so that's confusing.

Hi, Devs will need the complete server log file and the ffmpeg file.

[jlficken 3]

Okay.  I'll grab them quick.

 

Also, it works on the Android app.  Roku and Chrome both fail.ffmpeg-transcode-a3e45076-6f0c-4feb-849b-cdc46a118a61_1.txtembyserver.txt

ffmpeg log is showing Invalid frame dimensions 0x0 messages.

The android app is likely ok with this while ffmpeg is not. 

@softworkz can you take a look at this?

They are attached to this post.

Maybe try the desktop view.

OK, as a test, have you tried disabling hardware acceleration in server transcoding settings?

I just tried it.  Having it turned off doesn't make a difference on that specific channel as it still just sits there and spins but never starts playing.

Ok. @softworkz will take a look at this. Thanks.
