What version of ADBTuner are you on? I was seeing this behavior until updating my container and haven’t seen it again.

I updated to this version a few weeks ago specifically to cure this problem but it crept back.
That's the version I’m on, but I am using 10 for the timeout instead of the default 8.
Add KNOWN_STREAM_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT with a setting of 10 to your environmental variables and see if that helps you.
Recorded a 4 hour golf tournament after changing KNOWN_STREAM_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT to 10. Thanks
Is the new Firestick Vega OS going to work with ADBTuner or should I start looking for ONN devices?
Start looking at ONN devices; Vega is not built on top of Android, but a custom Linux-based solution. Or, I mean, if you already have Android-based Firesticks, just stick with those!

Mine are 4k Max sticks from 2024. I was under the impression that they were going to be updated to Vega. I believe I have auto-update turned off, so the question will be how long before they stop working from either getting or not getting an update. Looks like the new onn 4k Pro is getting bought out at WalMart to be resold on eBay for 2x the price at the moment.
According to most reputable sources, many current fire sticks will be supported through Dec 31, 2030.

This is false; Vega is only for go-forward new devices (for the time being, Amazon may change their mind when if it should crash and burn and they lose market share). No older devices are being ported. They are just scared Google may screw with them eventually if they stay Android only.

Hi! Does anyone have a suggestion on the most optimal encoder setting for SlingTV? I use my family YouTubeTV account for some channels and wanted to pull in others using Sling. I have no output issues with YTV but Sling TV will frequently stutter during frame changes. I am not sure if there are other settings I should be changing other than these:

Wonder if this could be tweaked to work with ADBTuner and HDMI capture.
Not sure if posted anywhere, but the DirecTV app now allows for increasing the "Are you still watching?" prompt from 4 hours to 12 hours. Just confirmed on one of my Onn boxes. Figured some of you would like to know.

That's great! It has been an option on the DTV app for my Roku sticks. I have been hoping that it would migrate to the ONN boxes. Thanks for confirming!
Oh, just a tip. If you set your config to press play with the timed commands every hour or so, you'll never run into this. The play button doesn't actually show anything on the screen, but it sends a heartbeat that prevents the keep watching prompt from ever appearing
Yeah, that's a solid suggestion as well. I have already changed my "still watching" settings on the DTV apps for my onn boxes to 12 hours. It's unlikely that I'll ever have same channel consecutive recordings exceeding 12 hours. But, I'v always been a "belt and suspenders" kind of guy. So, I am adding 60 minute "play" commands to the Compatibility mode configuration I use for DTV.
I pushed an update (20260531-3) to the development version this morning. Nothing exciting, just updated all third-party dependencies to supported versions and fixed a few small bugs. Let me know if you run into any issues.

Just added Paramount Network to my Hulu Live TV adbtuner. I can't add this channel to the guide. Any suggestions?
ok, so I have a reason to spin up an adbtuner container now. anybody using with hdhomerun? I don't need my local news in supper high res, some jobsites have bad cell and makes it hard to watch at lunch.
(also no, transcoding delays skipping around too much for me, so I use direct/original and 720 works great)
Love adbtuner. Finally swapped out an old Tivo stream 4K with ONN 4K plus and the ONN device has been solid. Any way to stay ahead of Hulu changing channel IDs? I get the channel ID by tuning to the channel with a browser and copying the URL into adbtuner. That always works for a while, but then Hul
u changes it. It's Paramount channel.
