MHEG-IC Streams Stalling
Added by Kev S almost 10 years ago
On Freeview in the UK a number of channels offer streams which are delivered over the internet (presumably Geolocked to the UK)
For example CCTV-9 Documentary

If you try playing this in VLC, ProgDVB (using the LAV Audio Decoder) or on Android in BS Player it works fine - however in TVHeadend it starts okay then drops out (watching via XBMC and recording) - if you do a WGET you see the streaming at 1.5Mb/s quickly drop to nothing.
The PAT is as follows
Index PID Type Language Details 0x006e / 110 PCR 0x0101 / 257 PMT 1 0x0078 / 120 AAC 2 0x006e / 110 H264 After filtering and reordering (without PCR and PMT) Index PID Type Language Details 2 0x006e / 110 H264 1 0x0078 / 120 AAC
TS Reader (on a full dump before it stopped) says

Prog DVB says
V: h.264,720x576,25,4:3 - 1600* kbit
A: AAC,48000,2Ch - 64** kbit
- This bounces between about 900 and 2000 ** This bounces between 40 and 100 kbit
Is it possible for TVHeadend to support these streams or are we out of luck?
