Over cellular using my iPhone, I can stream fine from the web using my.channelsdvr.net, but can't from the app. When I try streaming from the app, I just get the spinning progress indicator for a minute or two, then the error "The connection to Channels DVR Server had a problem." But when I use the web to stream from the same device, it works fine. Any idea what's wrong and how to fix it? These are consistent, reproducible results. Channels server's running on an RPi4b, with hardware transcoding. Just weird it works in the browser, but not the app.
First, the log when streaming from the app, which doesn't work:
