pmp.log (1.2 MB) - Problem starts at about 5:11:45 in the log and goes on until I pause the stream at 5:12:51 and gather the log.
Live TV & DVR will play a stream normally for a random amount of time and then it will skip backwards on it’s own and repeat what it had already played 10-30 seconds before. It will then skip back again 10-30 seconds and do it over and over again. The only way to recover is to stop the stream or change the channel. I am using the Firestick 4k and the Firestick 2nd Gen. Happens on both devices. Server is run on CentOS 8. I’m not sure if this is happening on the Android phone player at this time.
I’ve read a few posts from a while back with a very similar issue and they were using a HD Homerun. I am using xTeVe and passing the stream directly to plex. I am not buffering it with xTeVe/FFmpeg/VLC as plex server handles this on it’s own. I am also using the Hauppauge WinTV-quadHD. Issue is present regardless of which tuner I am using.
One thing I have noticed is when this happens the bandwidth spikes higher than normal on the graph but by no means is it high enough to lag nor anywhere near the saturation of my LAN.
I’ve tried turning off automatic quality to no avail. The media is not transcoding. Direct Stream on maximum quality. No lag issues at all. If you need me to provide any logs I can do so. Please let me know so we can move forward!!!
