Most likely because of the res that is set. You got to set the res on your computer to 1280x720 or 1920x1080 in order to not have black bars. I think investing in those cheap dummy hdmi plugs may do the trick for stuff like that

Odd stuff with NBC/Bravo these are 2 NBC links that normally open the correct channel
As of a day or so Bravo ONLY opens to the NBCNow news channel. If i copy paste the link it opens properly in Chrome All other NBC channels open fine
Any ideas??
#EXTINF:-1 channel-id="Bravo (East)",Bravo (East)
chrome://localhost:5589/stream?url=https://www.nbc.com/live?brand=bravo&callsign=BRAVOHD
#EXTINF:-1 channel-id="MSNBC",MSNBC
chrome://localhost:5589/stream?url=https://www.nbc.com/live?brand=msnbc&callsign=MNBCHD
fixed by going back to old style of linking
chrome://localhost:5589/stream/bravo

Hey guys, I am not getting any lag on nextpvr (but it has some bugs), can you guys help me fix the bugs on nextpvr?
Our main problems are A) opus, and B) HEADER issues.
You're gonna have to use another tool as CC4C is locked in to use opus audio. Thats why I finally gave up using it and opted to get a HDMI encoder instead.
As for nextpvr issues, you'll have to ask the developers over there. I haven't used NextPVR in a while so I'll be no help there
I got audio to work in many of my tests, I keep having a few bugs, but when video plays its pretty reliable.
UPDATE: It works with no bugs.
Sadly it doesn't quite work great on lower end hw. I added these arguments but didnt work
videoCodec: 'h264_nvenc', // Use NVENC for video encoding
audioCodec: 'aac', // Use AAC for audio encoding
With my 3060 gpu and 3600x cpu I don't get any lag, but my 1070 and i5 7th gen I struggle every few seconds with hiccups even with pretty solid optimization on the pc.
@tmmm1 what can be done to delay the full screen on a page (I want to click a few things first before hand). I have tried putting delays in with ai and they work for pages that dont have video (to get to the video), but if it has the video I cant do anything.
I think a load balance/round robin could help reduce lag some too. I am thinking of going from 7th gen i5 to 6th gen i7
Just to clarify the real reason for the issue was not a bug in NextPVR, it simply doesn't support makroska live streaming input and it is documented that NextPVR only supports IPTV with mpegts or hls streams. The other issue was no HEAD (not header) a HEAD return would have told us the Content-Type from the beginning.

Has anyone figured out how to get a link to a live Philo channel. Is this possible? All I can get is the current live show, but this link does not work after the specific show has aired. So, it's not actually the live channel.
I could add support. I just got puffer/stanford working, beta testing nbc, and got directvstream to work.
Wow, its tougher than I thought, so it doesn't keep playing on channel? Even on the paid version?
I can get it working for what's playing live right now, but the web channel guide link appears to be program specific. (yes, I have a login and a Philo subscription)
OK, it does work, should be pretty easy to implement. give me your channel guide, I am looking at the free one, I will give you the top 3 channels to test.
Hit tab 13 times and then hit enter. does that work?
Refresh page,
Hit tab 23 times and enter does that load the next channel?
One more time, refresh and hit tab
Ok the free version doesnt have much guide data on some channels. gonna be a lot of tabbing. probably better to find the "Live" instance, and then have the mouse move over so many pixels over and click the play button for it to work. tell me the first 3 channels.
This depends if you have any favorites which show up first in the guide screen. If you are talking about scripting the keyboard presses on the web page, then 11 tabs does bring me to the first channel, then you have to press enter and etc... as you mention. Seems like a error prone approach. The mouse click may be better as you can ensure the order of channels using favorites. Here's an example of the guide:
OK I will try and work on it.
Guide data will be problematic on more obscure channels, I think the m0ngr31 guy knows how to grab it properly
Ok, I believe I figured it out. It appears that the link needs to be taken from the channel screen.
So, in the Philo guide, click on the channel icon. Use this link, but edit to add an extra "/player" in the URL. So, that https://www.philo.com/player/channel/<string> becomes https://www.philo.com/player/player/channel/<string>.
I read something about this earlier in this thread, but it did not click.

Cool, I am glad you figured it out.
Another approach that i have had some success with, is using a python script to login to service, open a page, find text on the screen and click on it. I use this to automate playback of fubo recordings in channels, by passing arguments in the script. "fubodvr.py NCAAF Pittsburgh" will play the latest panthers game. Something like this might help with services like sling or philo? chatgpt is your friend

Is there a way for another Chrome Extension to be included in the Chrome-Capture-for-Channels browser when it loads?
