There are a couple issues that people have been running into. They report similar error messages so it's easy to get them confused.
The FuboTV Issue
Highlights:
- Specific to FuboTV
- Impacts all channels
- Prevents channels from playing at all
- Happens after about 30 days
- Current solution is to delete and re-add
- We are working on a fix
Details:
There is a FuboTV-specific issue where after a period of time (around 30 days) all channel tuning on TVE would return unauthorized. The only solution has been to delete and re-add the source. @tmm1 has tracked down what is going on here and we'll be able to solve it.
The Commercial Break Issue
Highlights:
- Not specific to a TVE provider
- Happens on a limited set of channels
- Only impacts certain geographies
- Happens after a stream has been playing successfully
- We don't know how we're going to solve this
Details:
The other issue that was referenced is completely different and happens for streams that are playing okay. It appears to be an issue with the TV networks themselves and does not impact everyone the same. It seems to be an issue regionally, isn't impacted by what TVE provider is used, and is an error in the stream that shouldn't ever be happening. Because this is outside of what is expected for how these streams behave, we're struggling to figure out where would be best to handle this. Nothing in your system was designed to handle this kind of behavior, so it's going to take some time if we are able to figure it out.
