Priority of multiple iptv-streams / low priority stream never accessed
Added by M. Bergmann almost 5 years ago
I added an IPTV Automatic Network which links to a m3u-file, containing addresses of six public available live streams.
Each address results in one mux (so a total of six muxes), and each mux results in one service (a total of six services).
Two of the services are mapped to one common channel: A stream in high-quality provided by dailymotion.com and another stream directly linking to the website of the television network, but in low quality.
The service of the hq-stream of dailymotion.com has got a priority of 5, the service containing the direct url has got a priority of 0.
Furthermore the mux of the hq-stream has got a kill timeout of 15 seconds.
Since a couple of days the hq-stream is not available at dailymotion.com. But instead of changing automatically to the lq-stream of the website, tvheadend repeatedly tries to get the hq-stream, resulting in this behaviour:
(I am using using a pipe:// mux pointing to an external tool, in this case streamlink, to access the stream provided by dailymotion.com)
What do I have to do, that tvh changes automatically to the other service ?
P.S.: It was unclear, because of the bad name selection, but Mux: Panamericana Television2 is the HQ stream, whereas Mux: Panamericana Television is the LQ stream (without the '2' at the end of Television)
P.P.S.: Obviously (?) the Maximum timeout of the network has to be lower than the Kill timeout of a single Mux, at least it is working now (timeout network: 10s, timeout mux: 15s). Before the timeout of the network had a value of 25s.

Check if your stream profile has the "Switch to another service" checkbox checked.

Thank you Michaël, I am going to verify this.
To keep my question simpler: What is the meaning / difference between the Maximum timeout of the network and the Kill timeout of a single Mux and how to they influence each other?
RE: Priority of multiple iptv-streams / low priority stream never accessed - Added by M. Bergmann almost 5 years ago
"Switch to another service" seems to be enabled by default.
