Description

Hi folks,

I have several streaming (transcoding) profiles that worked fine, both with VLC and also with the builtin html5 player.

Now I noticed that this stopped working. Subscription starts and I see a first still picture of the started stream. Then it stalls and finally unsubscribes.

Anyone else seeing such symptoms? Otherwise I would start trying with older installs.

Thanks
Diddle

What machine?
How are you installing? (Prebuilt, or build your own, etc)
Does all streaming fail, or just transcoding?
How about a log?

Notice that I see a still frame at this point in the browser. Subscription stats show data travelling in and out... weird.

Best regard

You have not configured tvh to do transcoding (using the config or the correct streaming URL). You're using matroska profile, so tvh is sending the unmodified DVB stream to your browser and I doubt that chrome is able to play it.
