I believe the setting you want is: Configuration > BVB Inputs > Networks > Edit Network > Advanced Settings > Maximum timeout (seconds)
Past that, I'm not sure there's a configuration parameter for the timeout for "waiting for packets". (At least I haven't noticed one anywhere.)

Thanks for the suggestion, indeed that is the setting I set to 120 seconds. After I did that I was able to successfully scan the mux, but when trying to tune the service I hit the "timeout waiting for packets" after about 20 seconds.

There is a hard-coded 20 second timeout in src/webui/webui.c line 342 which you may be hitting.

Ahh crap, that pretty much lines up with that I'm seeing.

So basically, yes - this is expected behavior then and no way to override it.

Thanks for pointing me to the line in the code, I might try building my own binary to work around this.

100% that was it, bumped that number to 120 seconds, compiled my own version and I'm now able to stream the 'problematic' sources.

To me it makes sense to align this number to the number defined in the MUX config. If that makes sense to anyone else I might try to put together a PR

If you feel it may help others at some stage it would make sense to to put in a PR. The 20 second limit may have just been an arbitrary figure decided on at coding stage. If not I’m sure someone will explain why it was chosen.
