After last update I have issue with channels in Live TV client (IPTV Simple Client).
I have iptv channels in HD & SD, but most of the time when the advertisement shows (probably in the background is some change of video quality fps, resolution etc… or the original stream has 4:3 with black columns on both sides ) then the video stops, the client is trying again and again to re-buffer the video but nothing helps, just the audio is playing in the background.
It help just to switch the channel to different one and back.
Okay, the video codec is mpeg2 and you don’t have an mpeg2 licence.
In theory that should work with software decode if the resolution is not too high, but there was a bug that may cause a problem. That should have been fixed with Sunday’s update. Can you make sure you’ve updated and try again?
Thanks @popcornmix yesterday I downloaded the last update and I will check that for a couple of days, if the last update fixed the issue and of course I will let you know.
In the future, responding to a 3 year old topic is not really a good idea, as your current problem probably has nothing to do with the original problem. Especially since you are using different hardware.
Ok, my bad. I can open new topic then. Are there instructions how to prepare log file?
Link a few posts before won’t work as I don’t have permissions for that topic.
To get a better understanding of the problem you are experiencing we need more information from you. The best way to get this information is for you to upload logs that demonstrate your problem. You can learn more about how to submit a useful support request here.
So, in summary:
activate the logging
reboot the OSMC device
reproduce the issue
upload the log set either using the Log Uploader method within the My OSMC menu in the GUI or the ssh method invoking command grab-logs -A
publish the provided URL from the log set upload, here
Thanks for your understanding. We hope that we can help you get up and running again shortly.
CRenderManager::WaitForBuffer - timeout waiting for buffer
I’m seeing this a number of times through out the the log, this could be an issue with stream or a network issue. First thing I checked being as this iptv, is to check the internet download speed from the command line:
Check the download speed is consistent with your expected internet speeds, if not this could indicate a network problem.
I suspect your pc/laptop are playing the streams back using the cpu, rather than hardware acceleration. It could be something has changed with the streams from you iptv provider, you may find if you disable hard ware acceleration on the vero4k; the streams play as expected.
I forgot to mention that about 2 months ago, everything worked fine.
I turned off all hardware acceleration, and the issue persist. The problem is just with strems from my country, all other streams work fine. However, on PC or laptop, there are no issues at all.
