Troubles with recording of certain multiplex

Added by Szymon Życińśki almost 8 years ago

Hello

Could someone check http://212.87.254.152/sample.mkv and give me a hint why recording to this channel mostly fails? Sometimes (no rules) it records without any troubles - but a moment later you can hear audio but video is not played at all. All other muxes from the same provider works ok. This is new mux in Poland MUX-8 at VHF H - QPSK. But this is not a problem while streaming is always al right.

You need to supply a mux sample (wget a mux url for about 30 seconds) not a sample of a recording. I tried playing your sample in VLC which had audio. But MPC-HC failed to play it altogether.

Here is 100MB dump. Recording is a problem on all channels in this mux. 2/3 of all recording are damaged this way.

OK, have you tried using the pass recording profile rather than mkv/Matroska ? If that still doesn't help, please open an issue, describe the issue fully & attach (or link to it) your sample.

By any chance did this problem start when any KODI client was upgraded to Krypton?

I have 3 KODI clients on NVidia Shield [Android], Raspberry Pi3 [LibreElec], Window 7 64 bit and all stopped playing ".ts" and ".mkv" files.

I can view the files on my Win 7 machine via Windows Media Center and they play fine but no way can I get Kodi-Krypton to play them.

Originally I set the recordings to "Pass" but then tried ".mkv" with no help.

NOTE: All 3 systems played TVHeadend recorded ".ts" files previous to the Krypton upgrade.

My only remaining issue is I don't have the brain cells capability to get EPG working in the USA but I can live without it.

In my case it have nothing in common with kodi. This are autorec tasks.

4.1.xxxx has support for PSIP EPG data if your provider broadcasts it, just enable it in Config -> Channel / EPG -> EPG Grabber Modules.

Seems odd that all your devices stop playing files. Kodi 17 on my HTPC plays back Tvheadend's mkv/ts over HTSP no problem. I'm running the latest unstable from the kodi ppa on Ubuntu.
