Please try again, but this time set UseHeadersForAudioFileEx back to the default value of true (save and restart). If it doesn't work, post the log again.

We're getting closer !

So when I first opened the stream it took a second but then it played for maybe 3 seconds and cut off. I tried to reopen the stream and it wouldn't open at all. At least the first time it did come up in the status window as an active stream.

Edit: Tried the 3rd time with CNN.. Same thing .. Played for maybe 2 - 3 seconds and then cut out. I'm not at the RV by the way. I'm using a normal connection with plenty of bandwidth on both ends.

According to this log Emby closed the stream, I'm not sure why. Maybe post the emby log and it will say. If you are using a browser to view the stream which browser are you using?

I was using chrome to view the stream. I tried also with Internet Explorer but no change.

I don't get it. Its still is acting like the tuner is not producing data. Set Timeout_WaitForTS_MS to something even larger, like 30000. Then in serverwmc go to the debug tab and turn off 'delete temporary files'. Then try to play a live stream again. Assuming that it gets shut down again by emby. Look in the tempswmc folder in your recorded tv folder and look for the .ts file. See if you can play it.

Changed it to 30000 but I still did not get a stream on Chrome or on Internet Explorer.

Went to the temp folder and found the .ts stream and I could play it without an issue.

Can you post the serverwmc log from that run?

I closed the chrome and internet explorer windows after the stream failed to show.

I just noticed something.. In the browser in the top right hand side there is a gear icon... Lower channels like channel 13 only get 720p at 6 Mbps stream but if I switch to CNN the default stream is 1080p - 60 Mbps. I just changed it down to 1080p - 5 Mbps and it's now working perfectly.

So technically it should work now on the Wetek core units but I need to test.. I will keep you updated. Thanks for the help today !

Great that you noticed that, and I think I might know why emby picks the wrong bit rate on these channels. I think swmc is sending back incomplete stream info on these channels, I need to think about how to fix it.

To help me debug, if you have time...

Please set UseHeadersForAudioFileEx back to false (then save and restart). Then try to start one of these problem channels again with a long ass Timeout_WaitForTS_MS, like 30000. Then post the resulting log. Thanks.

First try stream did not load.

Second try stream loaded as if it was going to play. Video showed up after a while but only played for 3 secs before stopping. Stream did show active in ServerWMC

Third time the stream loaded and played fine.

Went back to the first channel .. Stream opened and then played fine.



What do you think ? On what settings should I leave the server ?

I just wanted the log so I could debug the stream info problem. Now that you generated the log, you should go back to the old settings that worked for you. Thanks for generating that log for me.
