Constant buffering on Fox News channel

@eric any updates? I think we provided quite a bit..... Again.

@eric Perhaps just a coincidence but I was also experiencing the timeline bar pop up randomly while watching an OTA station and I believe it was related to signal fluctuations. This behavior wasn't consistent with the Apple TV viewing experience and Aman pushed an update for the issue (Timeline bar pops up and disappears). Would corrupt packets in the TVE stream cause this behavior?

Yea, I've been complaining about that as well. Happens on the FireTV as well. Best way to minimize it is to turn off surround sound in the app. It's probably part of the same problem honestly..... IMO. :man_shrugging:t2:

@jpblanch75 are you saying turning off surround sound in the app minimizes the timeline bar pop up or the audio sync issue? Regarding the FNC issue, if it's an error in the stream, I would think the problem would happen to all Channels DVR users running on the shield who are watching the same stream. If the logs still don't show anything, we could try starting live tv on FNC at the same time to see if we experience the spinning circle at the same time.

No the post you linked about the time-bar popping up while watching OTA.... Turning off surround sound minimizes that from happening.... Doesn't stop it though.

@mhartman It doesn’t look like you had set the Streaming Quality to 8Mbps.

Also, I found these errors in your logs that are concerning:

2020/03/31 01:22:21.174615 [M3U8] Generator: err=cannot replace "/mnt/nfs/dvr/Streaming/m3u8/895/stream.m3u8" with tempfile "/mnt/nfs/dvr/Streaming/m3u8/895/stream.m3u8833874024": rename /mnt/nfs/dvr/Streaming/m3u8/895/stream.m3u8833874024 /mnt/nfs/dvr/Streaming/m3u8/895/stream.m3u8: permission denied

@jpblanch75 it doesn’t appear that any of those referenced IDs have streaming set to 8Mbps.

They don't because I can't use it set to anything other than 8mbps. I sent you logs of those too! Sigh. Some of logs of the DVR while the stream is buffering.

I also sent you a link to a video I recorded. I get tons of errors..... transcoding doesn't work on my Android TV. Some of the logs above are the broken transcoding

I received one log from you where the transcoder was unable to start at all. Are you ever able to watch the channel with transcoding enabled (set at 8Mbps)? Does it fail every time you try to watch?

Yes that's what I said, I cannot transcode at any rate. I sent you a video that shows the DVR status transcoding but the player doesn't work.... Just sits there buffering.

Are you able to watch any other channels successfully? Does your system fail to transcode any channel?

I cannot watch anything transcoding. The DVR status says it's transcoding but the app is just sitting there buffering.

This is my log right now and it's not playing on my TV. It starts and plays for a micro second then freezes buffering.

Have you tried OTA channels to see if it’s any different?

This is OTA. Yes it doesn't matter, TVE, OTA, recording....
The time bar grows while it's buffering.

Why did you turn off Adaptive Streaming? Can you stream an OTA channel with transcoding if it is enabled? Also, can you try to change your encoder to Software and see if that makes any difference?

Adaptive streaming in the DVR? That has always been off.

I can transcode and watch without issue on my AppleTV, FireTV and Android10 phone with that disabled.

I just tried Adaptive Streaming ON and I also tried Software Decoding. Fails the same way.

Edit: I just tried the old Transcoder as well.... same failure.

@jpblanch75 We need to do a reset. Are the issues you are having on all devices or just on your Sony TV? If it’s only on your Sony TV, it’s unlikely that other people are having the same issue you are.

Right now, I would like to understand from the rest of the community if there is a wide-spread issue with multiple people having the same issue with certain TVE channels.

If it’s true that these transcoder streaming issues are only with your Sony TV, it’s becoming clear that there are some fundamental bugs in the IO layer of the Sony TV that we do not see on any other devices that is impacting all of the ways that we locally cache content during playback. This would explain why you are seeing these hangs and there really isn’t anything that I can think of that we can do about it.

@eric Without the transcoder involved @mhartman and I seem to have the same exact problem with buffering which watching TVE. We also seem to have the same OTA issues that he linked to in this thread.
I also have the same issues with the FireTV in regards to the OTA linked in this thread and buffering while watching TVE.

The transcoder issue could be just with my Sony Android TV.

So to repeat.... I experience the SAME problems with both the FireTV and my Android TV while using the original stream.

Transcoding, I only have a problem with the Sony Android TV.
