I recently went on vacation and was attempting to stream TV from home to my iPad. It would work okay, but sometimes would stop streaming, and be stuck on a black screen. I would have to stop the stream, and restart it to continue watching. I thought it was the connection, but it was a 10mbps Cable connection, and running speed tests I had good numbers. The stream was only a 1mbps stream. So I have been back for a few weeks and have been trying to troubleshoot the issue and read the logs, etc. I'm trying to stream to my iPhone from my office (Download: 27 Mbps, Latancy: 94ms, Jitter: 61ms) and it stops fairly quick.
Below is the server log output when it stops streaming:
2019/06/28 10:59:55 [TNR] Opened connection to 1313xxxx for ch703 2019/06/28 10:59:55 [HLS] Starting transcoder for channel 703 from 73.48.xxx.xxx (encoder=libx264, resolution=480, deinterlacer=blend, bitrate=1000) [libx264 @ 0000000002a6e980] MB rate (145800000) > level limit (522240) 2019/06/28 11:00:42 [HLS] Stopping inactive session ch703-dANY-43e8729a3da2 @ 44.800022s 2019/06/28 11:00:42 [TNR] Closed connection to 1313xxxx for ch703 2019/06/28 11:01:32 [TNR] Opened connection to 1313xxxx for ch703 2019/06/28 11:01:33 [HLS] Starting transcoder for channel 703 from 73.48.xxx.xxx (encoder=libx264, resolution=480, deinterlacer=blend, bitrate=1000) [libx264 @ 0000000002a05640] MB rate (145800000) > level limit (522240)
I have switched from hardware transcode to software transcode, and still the same result. Almost looks like the client is reporting or maybe server that it's exceeding the streaming limit.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Thank you in advance,
