Constant buffering on Fox News channel

That looks like a different issue, unrelated to audio. Seems more like a regular buffering event not split-second pause.

@tmm1

It isn't any different, it is exactly the same, the log is exactly the same too.

type=audio, duration=0.0

Watch the video I posted earlier that shows the buffering and the time bar growing.

The split second pausing was fixed by using a different decoder.

As I said before, if I was recording the same program, the recording never experiences the same issue. It only happens watching live.

EDIT: Does using Transcoding on the server bypas the Live TV Buffer on the Client? I don't see any action in the Client log while transcoding.

No it's not. The "End buffering" lines show much longer wait times.

This doesn't matter anymore with the new beta because it does not pause when audio is 0.0, only when video packets run out.

I understand that. I don't have an explanation for how that's possible because live tv and recordings use the same player.

Yes.


It's really challenging to help you because you constantly keep switching devices. Can you please stick to one device and one bug at a time? Are you still having issues on the Sony TV, and if so what is happening?

My fox news is back to buffering like crazy again today, dang made it almost 2 days.. diag submitted 1:25

@tmm1

OK I rebooted the SONY TV and started a new stream from Fox News TVE.

I've been following the LOG and I just had a pause event and saw this error.

**04-02 14:45:57.945  6854  6957 E mpv     : [ffmpeg/video] h264: error while decoding MB 55 18, bytestream -11**

Could this be something?

Here is the LOG of the Event:

This message is showing the root cause. The streamer is waiting for 32s to receive data and no more data is coming from the DVR server for the channel. This indicates a network issue, a bug on the DVR side, or an issue with the feed itself.

This seems to match what you're seeing in the video. It waited 48s before resuming playback.

This is unexpected too, it's saying there's corrupted video packets which should not happen for a TVE stream.

That's interesting, is there any reason why that would show up after the stream pauses and during buffering?

Do you have a recommendation of the best way to test the network to rule that out?

The message shows up when the streamer gives up, after trying for the previous 32 seconds.

There's a speedtest button in the app. Did you try that?

Yes and it always seems to be fine.

Can you try playing some other channel for a while and see if it hits the same problem?

Since the issue is intermittent you should leave an infinite ping running and then you can see if there were disruptions that match the time when the video stalled.

I just tried to go into another channels and it wouldn't let me because the DV was still showing I was streaming Fox even though I stopped it 10 minutes ago. It finally released after a few tries from Fox then the stream started.

I just turned on Discovery

This was on Discovery TVE on the SonyTV:

I was running a continius ping during the show to the DVR and to the TV with zero packet drops.

EDIT: I don't see the problem with DVR'd programs or OTA so I can't imagine its my network anyway.

Please try with a channel between 6007-6062

Ok trying SyFy. Could be an hour or three before I see a problem.

What's the reason for the number range?

Also I was surprised at how quick it started happening to me with Discovery. Lately I've been having Fox News on most of the day when I'm not doing at home schooling with the kids.....

@tmm1

Ok just happened on SyFy channels 6054

Very interesting. Are you able to try using your SHIELD as a client. It would be interesting to know if the same thing can be replicated on that device.

I can't because my Server is on it. That is why I have previously mentioned that I experience the same issues on my FireTV 4k stick which is Android based.

Now with that said, I have tried the MPV Android Player and experience the same problem. I have also tried the VLC Player and have not experienced the same problem.

The server and client can run on the same shield. The shield is the best android client hardware available and the one we are most familiar with. If the same issue occurs on the shield, then it helps us narrow down where the problem is originating.

Doesn't have them on the same device remove the network pipe from the equation so you are not just changing one thing?

What about that other change you mentioned you were thinking about?
