Tvheadend

The only way i got IPTV to work reliably is by piping via ffmpeg

ffmpeg -loglevel fatal -i "$1" -metadata service_name="$2" -acodec copy -vcodec copy -f mpegts -tune zerolatency pipe:1

Hi All,

I am seeing my IPTV freeze pretty often, its fixes by stopping and starting the channel and so the stream.

I am hoping this could be better handed in tvheaded and so drop/restart the channel.

Thanks

running Tvheadend 4.3-1687~g7fdc6f054 and seems to be fixed on this version, or I havent experienced any stalling this past week with the following stream profile (pass);

restart on error: enable

rewrite service id : 1 (standard setting)
and enabled rewrites for PMT,PAT,SDT,NIT & EIT. (standard setting)

also I`ve rerouted the logging to /var/log/tvheadend.log instead of standard syslog.

Had earlier also a ffmpeg fork for my IPTV for this issue but not needed anymore, also swaptimes (5-10 seconds) is slower with this option.

btw, remember to set the correct service id when creating network, usually its "1". mine was.

ok, only tested with native http client for android tv. (Dreamplayer for tvheadend)

maybe something must be done on clientplayer side then..

It's not relevant. Both bugs are for EIT data - it has nothing to do with the A/V streams. It looks like a player issue.

And on final only one super compatible player can be used.
When only rewrite EIT, stream is not compatible with infomir iptv stb's
black screen and only sound.

Why when use mumudvb rewrite functions all is OK?

Ok, then some little piece is missing, but we need to know which one. The PAT/PMT/SDT tables should be fine.
