Live TV Crashing after several hours on Synology NAS.

There is definitely a codec issue. According to the log, PMS has record of the codec but can’t find it.

While I’m not an expert with DVR/Live TV, what I’m seeing is telling me PMS can’t understand the video stream coming to it.

Most likely the root cause is the missing codecs. I suggest stopping PMS, clearing out the Codecs directory, and downloading the codecs again on first need.

Hello,

I tryed to delete the codecs and if I try to play any Movie from my NAS, the recommend codec is loading and saved in the Codecs-Folder. If i try to play a hd-Stream it seems that the Server can’t find the codec and doesn’t play the Stream. Is there a chance, to get a full archive with the codecs and place them into the codecs folder?

Best regards and thanks for your help.
