Tvheadend

Hi All,

I have been using TVHeadend>TVHProxy>Plex for a while now. It seems to work well some of the time, but having issues with channels locking in plex etc (not TVH issue).

However, on occasions I notice that a channel is in a "fail" state. So i assumed this was because there was an update in the M3U file from the provider hence the failure. If I manually scan the channel all is ok. So it got me thinking maybe I need to scan the IPTV muxes more often, not sure if this is the correct term.

The only option I can find is under network>edit network>expert setting>Idle scan muxes. This seems to scan the channels fine and will scan based on Maximum # input streams. This seems to cause me other issues i.e. when a channel is already playing or recording that it makes the stream fail or become inconstant.

Maybe I am approaching this incorrectly? I have 4 input streams with my IPTV provider, im happy for 1 of those inputs to be used (if required) to constantly check the channels.

Any help/ experience or advice would be great
