No Live TV possible

Live TV & DVR

Dear Plex Community,
on my QNAP NAS QGD1602, I installed and successfully set up the Plex Media Server 1.32.0 via the APP Center. Remote access also works flawlessly, and I can also stream my movies and series on my iPad without any problems.

Now I would like to stream live TV via my TV receiver VU+. So, I installed xTeVe 2.2.0 on my QNAP NAS and also stored the channel list as an m3u file. If I now want to stream the channel, the following messages appear in the log file of xTeVe.

023-04-17 12:40:20 [xTeVe] Buffer: true [xteve]
2023-04-17 12:40:20 [xTeVe] Buffer Size: 8192 KB

2023-04-17 12:40:24 [xTeVe] [ERROR] No response from streaming server () - EC: 0**

The video stream works fine if I enter the streaming address http://x.x.x.x:8001/1:0:19:132F:3EF:1:C00000:0:0:0: directly in my VLC Player

What to do? I’m grateful for every suggestion?
Cheers

Turn the buffer off completely in xTeVe and report back.

Thanks for your reply. I only can reduce the buffer size to 512kB. But still the same error message.

Even if I switch to No Buffer (client connects to the streaming server) in the settings Menü I can’t see the live stream.

I am having a similar issue using xTeVe. My playback will start but only last roughly 30secs and then stop (go to a black screen), the xTeVe log says the client has terminated the signal. I’ve tried changing the buffer size and type (FFMPEG vs VLC), nothing works. I am running the same Plex server version as you, just via Windows. I can’t actually run a newer one for Windows because it is broken and I can’t get into the server settings. I swear Plex really wants me to find another solution…

Same issue here. I can play the xteve stream with Jellyfin or direct with VLC without issue. With buffer on or off. I decided to pay for plex again to test and nope, will not work.

On plex I get Playback Error
