recording not surviving drop-outs etc.

CB

Hi!

I'm setting up my tvheadend-server and it is working but I do have some problems while recording. Unfortunately I do get some frozen pics or drop-outs and because of that the recording stops. If this happens in the first minutes I do not get the show or movie at all.

Is there any option - that I haven't found yet - to have tvheadend keeping on with recording until the set end-time to get everything after the channel is 'working' again and not lose all of it?

Thank you,

CB

Something that I should add is that I'm talking about IPTV-streams.

It seams that tvheadend had some trouble for years with this but I hoped that it has been resolved...

Any news about that of hint how to get iptv running with tvheadend?

Hi, i was having the same issues with iptv cutting out not just recordings, you want to Pipe with ffmpeg, add this in the URL in your iptv mux.

pipe:///usr/bin/ffmpeg -loglevel fatal -reconnect 1 -reconnect_on_network_error 1 -reconnect_on_http_error 1 -reconnect_streamed 1 -reconnect_delay_max 4294 -fflags -nobuffer -flags low_delay -err_detect ignore_err -i <add your stream address here>-c copy -f mpegts -tune zerolatency pipe:1

Your channel switching will slow down but your streams will should be recordable.

handaryn1976 Reduce the analyze duration to speed this up. You have various settings/parameters in ffmpeg available to reduce the delay, at least to some extend.

Flole Ok thanks, could you give me an example of where to add it in my example, I have tried and kept getting errors so decided what i have works so don't break it, thanks Ryan

how about this checkbox in the stream profile?

I still did not encounter the issue since when I set it - I am facing the same issue with IPTV.

Hi, I think the problem you have is that IPTV stream (the ones i had anyway) needed cleaning up into a a TS stream for tvheadend, if you put what i have pasted above add you stream address you will find yours streams work and they will automatically restart on error without ticking the box in the stream profile. I feel your pain i spent many an hour getting to the bottom of it, I'm able to record IPTV and playback. here it is again.

pipe:///usr/bin/ffmpeg -loglevel fatal -reconnect 1 -reconnect_on_network_error 1 -reconnect_on_http_error 1 -reconnect_streamed 1 -reconnect_delay_max 4294 -fflags -nobuffer -flags low_delay -err_detect ignore_err -i https://######################### -c copy -f mpegts -tune zerolatency pipe:1

I have this problem also, where I can add this lines?? I import an m3u xteve url.

When I use htsp stream profile the channel reconnect fine, but recording only uses pass or matroska profile for this the recording lost connection and stop recording.
Thanks

Hi,
It goes in the URL of the mux, how have you created the network? IPTV automatic or just IPTV network,

I import xteve url with automatic+bouquet(iptv provider update channels stream each day). I don't know how to do it with IPTV network.

This is what you need to do, run a script to convert your providers m3u.
