Help and Support

Vero 4K+
Streaming channel PBS, no audio, other channels have audio and audio works in VLC.

Thanks

Are recordings also affected?

3

no, just the streaming of that one channel, PBS.
Spoke with the provider, said it may have an incorrect codec in the stream. “shrug”

If it’s only one channel, I suspect it’s not going to be an OSMC issue

Is your Local PBS broadcasting also using ATSC 3.0 and your tuner is picking up that instead of the ATSC 1.0 channel? Kodi, along with pretty much everything else doesn’t have support for AC4 audio yet which is mandated by that standard so Kodi will play the video from those streams but without audio. At least that is what happens with my HDHomerun setup run through Kodi. I can only get audio using their app because it sends the audio back to HDHomerun and sends it back in a playable format (at least I thiink that is what I read they are doing).

Missed pointing out, this is from tvheadend, installed to the Vero, streaming iptv.
I try and load a screen cap in vlc:
vlc codec info

7

Does enabling audio passthrough change the behavior?

8

no change with passthrough enabled

ok, just changed the tvheadend server from the Vero to my NUC, tvheadend server:

HTS Tvheadend 4.3~1975.g23754f9a6-dmo1+deb11u1

tvheadend on the veroHTS Tvheadend 4.2.8
Audio works find on the NUC, on PBS

How about an updated build for the Vero?
I would be willing to test.
Thanks

We are shipping the latest stable version of TVH on Vero, which is 4.2.
4.3 is still not officially released as stable.

stable has not been updated for years, tvheadend recommends:

https://tvheadend.org/projects/tvheadend/wiki/AptRepositories

Not sure if I should add that or not, suggestions welcome
Thanks

You can install TVHeadend from their repository but this is not something we can officially support. You can seek advice from them.

We support the stable version of TVH. I don’t know if 4.3 will ever be released as stable. Development has largely ceased.
