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 12:40:20 [xTeVe] Channel Name: ZDF HD 2023-04-17 12:40:20 [xTeVe] Client User-Agent: Lavf/LIBAVFORMAT\_VERSION 2023-04-17 12:40:21 [xTeVe] Streaming Status: Playlist: ZDF - Tuner: 1 / 1 2023-04-17 12:40:21 [xTeVe] Streaming Type: [TS] 2023-04-17 12:40:21 [xTeVe] Streaming URL: [http://x.x.x.x:8001/1:0:19:2B66:3F3:1:C00000:0:0:0:](http://x.x.x.x:8001/1:0:19:2B66:3F3:1:C00000:0:0:0:) 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:](http://x.x.x.x:8001/1:0:19:132F:3EF:1:C00000:0:0:0:) directly in my VLC Player What to do?

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. 2023-08-09 12:32:04 [xTeVe] Buffer: false [-] 2023-08-09 12:32:04 [xTeVe] Channel Name: TG4 Free to Air 2023-08-09 12:32:04 [xTeVe] Client User-Agent: Lavf/LIBAVFORMAT\_VERSION 2023-08-09 12:32:04 [xTeVe] Streaming URL: [http://xxxxxxxxxxxx](http://xxxxxxxxxxxx) 2023-08-09 12:32:04 [xTeVe] Streaming Info: URL was passed to the client. 2023-08-09 12:32:04 [xTeVe] Streaming Info: xTeVe is no longer involved, the client connects directly to the streaming server.
