Server Version#: 1.30.1.6562 Player Version#: 1.61.1.3432 Tuner Make/Model: xTeVe Guide/Lineup name: Using XMLTV?: Yes Channel number/Name: All I’m having an issue when anytime that I try to watch live TV from my Plex Sever, it gives me a “Playback Error” and says that the Live TV Session h…

For future reference to who ever has this same problem, I had to make sure my Stream Buffer was using FFmpeg (if its not already, make sure your binary path is set correctly) in the xTeVe settings, then change the FFmpeg options to make it transcoded to Mp3 stero. You can do that by entering the fol…

IPTV via xTeVe is not working on the Windows/Linux/Mac player because the audio is not a compatable format. I found it likes AC3 best but if your streams are AAC it will fail… or so that’s how it was when I encountered a similar problem. Not all platforms have this issue. I use Roku/Android for exam…

Awesome I’ll try that, thanks!

For some reason with that code I kept getting the following error message and Live TV stopped working on all channels. Not sure what would cause it. When I went back to the other one it started working again. [ERROR] FFMPEG error (Streaming was stopped by third party transcoder (FFmpeg / VLC)) - EC…

When I use the code I pasted above, it works but I’ve noticed that after 5-20 minutes, my live TV stops with an error saying to please check the connection and try again. I’ve tried the same channels th…

I’ve been working on a similar issue and these FFmpeg Options seem to work for me at least in the short term: -hide_banner -loglevel warning -i [URL] -c:v copy -c:a aac -vbr 3 -f mpegts pipe:1 This uses AAC instead of MP3, that’s the only big difference I think. I have also been fighting the stre…

I’ll test that code. I noticed already that it doesn’t like working with my Windows Plex app which is ok as it works through my browser and on my phone. I’ll check on my shield and see how it does too and if it fixes my issue with the live stream stopping and let you know as well, thanks!

I’m also using it on a Shield. Initial tests seem like it works. It’s also worth noting I downloaded the very latest FFMPEG static build and put it into XteVe. I’m going to do some more extensive testing soon but seems like it may work.

Sounds good, yeah my live channels keep stopping. hmmm
