Some TVE channels breaking up

TBS, and a few others TVE channels are breaking up, pixelating alot today
I went to the online web stream for them on thier sites and they play fine.

this is example of what the issue looks like. i submitted server diags and did submit via the app.
i does it same on web browser playback and using the http m3u link.

Try the pre release

I am on 2020.07.04.0217 for server.

If there is a newer version, cant update for a bit, since server in use.

ive updated to 2020.07.04.2357
Tuned to TBS
Does issue right away and constantly.

I did try switching to Software decode, just to see if that effected anything, did not.

I have gone through all the TVE channels I have enabled.
The ones with the issue:

TBS 6033
TruTV 6037

I also notice that CourtTV 6770 give this error:
[ERR] Could not start stream for TVE-Comcast_SSO ch6770 COURTTV: TVE: get https://content.uplynk.com/channel/92c7be9fb47143a58683d202e321e571.m3u8?ad=web&ad.pp=non_vpaid&ad.url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.courttv.com&ad.description_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.courttv.com&ad.paln&ad.ssss=vdms&ad._debug=courttv_live_web&v=2&m.sound=normal&m.sound=normal&m.playback=autoplay: 404 Not Found

Could you try rescanning those channels

TBS and truTV are both Warner networks; since those seem to be the only affected channels, it's most likely a problem with the stream they're serving.

(Edit: Interestingly, it's only the Eastern feeds of those two networks; no other Warner network seems to have the macroblocking issue. It might be interesting to see if these problem show up 3 hours later on the Pacific feeds; that would definitely confirm a server/encoder issue.)

No effect.

but they play fine on their website and app fine for me.

well, u would see that by now, its been 9hrs since i first noticed this issue, no idea how long it has been happening.

EDIT: I just enabled the P versions of those 2 channels, and they do work fine. I guess ill just use that version for now, as long as the guide is right, its fine. But, wanted to report it in case it is some Channels issue that can be fixed. if is a network stream issue from the source...then...i guess nothing can be done on my end.

Noticed this issue as well. They seem to be working properly for me now. I’m on the most recent server and beta app.

I am having the same issue now. The stream on Channels is very choppy.
I checked on both the TBS iOS app and website and they seem to be streaming fine.

TBS TNT truTV.... They're currently playing just fine for me. I have not had this issue return as of yet. Other channels seem to be fine as far as I can tell but if I notice anything...I'll report back

It's very odd. The Channels app is very choppy, on Apple TV, iPhone and website.
When I watch TBS from the iPhone app and TBS.com is plays fine, but the TBS app on the Apple TV it is choppy as well.
So I have no idea what's going on then.

Well....i don't use anything Apple....no issue here on Android tv.
Are u watching the E or P version of the channel?
Eastern or Pacific.
I am only watching Eastern feed.

It was on the TBS East feed. It seems to be fine now. I've had issues since Monday.
TBS must have fix it on their end.
