Updated by Check the ffmpeg output at first (run pipe command from cmd line and redirect it to a file). If it works, attach 30 seconds from the IPTV mux in TVH (play link).

Excuse my ignorance, what would be the correct syntax to do so ?
Updated by Jaroslav Kysela about 9 years ago
Just remove the 'pipe://' prefix from the URL you specified.
To save the mux's input stream use (for example) : wget -O a.ts 'play_url'

.ts attached in first post was already captured as per your suggestion (wget -O a.ts 'play_url')
Updated by Jaroslav Kysela about 9 years ago
You must redirect standard output to a file - like 'ls > a.txt' so 'ffmpeg > a.ts' .
I mean play URL from the MUX grid (configuration table). Not from service or channels.
Updated by Jaroslav Kysela about 9 years ago
Don't forget to test the .ts file produced by ffmpeg using vlc or any other player.

Here is .ts produced from command line using this
ffmpeg -user-agent Kodi/14.1 -i http://INPUT -codec:v copy -codec:a copy -bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb -metadata service_provider=BIGTV -metadata service_name=Aljazeera -tune zerolatency -f mpegts pipe:1 > a.ts
Tested in VLC, it produces only audio

OK. So you see that your input is broken. Provide valid MPEG-TS stream to TVHeadend. Closing as invalid. Try upgrade ffmpeg and/or ask on forums. This is a bug and feature tracker for TVH.

Finally solved by adding -bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb, dump_extra

Could you post the whole command? I'll add a note to https://tvheadend.org/projects/tvheadend/wiki/Custom_MPEG-TS_Input . Thanks.

Of course.
pipe:///usr/bin/ffmpeg -loglevel fatal -user-agent Kodi/14.1 -i http://INPUT -codec copy -bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb,dump_extra -metadata service_provider=PROVIDER -metadata service_name=SERVICE -tune zerolatency -f mpegts pipe:1
The following option
-user-agent Kodi/14.1
was necessary as my provider is picky on devices used to watch and wouldn't work with ffmpeg's default user agent string.

Great thanks. I think that it also applies for HEVC.
