Stream Freezing at Splice points

Added by Stephen Brown about 1 year ago

Hello,

I have an IPTV stream that uses targeted advertising and as such it splices targeted commercials over the top of the incoming stream.

When TV Head end gets to the Splice point it just freezes and won't move on. If I switch away from the channel and switch back the service is restored until it hits the next splice point. I've tried this on multiple players including VLC

Is this a bug or have I missed something in the setup to tell it to keep going?

Thanks

My guess would be that the commercials are poorly spliced over the top of the incoming stream and that there is some kind of continuity error as far as TVH is concerned. You should see this in the logs if this is the case.

You could try ticking the "restart on error" setting for the relevant stream profile. IIRC this is not ticked by default.

In the "Configuration -> Stream -> Stream Profiles" tab, select the stream profile relevant to how you are viewing your content and tick the setting in the parameters. Don't forget to save the updated settings.

Thanks for your reply.

I tried your suggestions and it didn't fix the problem.

I'm a bit fuzzy on setting up the logging. I will look up how to do this and try and get some further insight.
