It's not transcoding though, the logs show it copying and it might be an issue with the parameters
2020-10-04 17:12:48.387 [DEBUG][74] [FFMPEG]: Could not write header for output file #0 (incorrect codec parameters ?): Invalid argument I suspect it could just be the old ffmpeg in the Docker having trouble with -c:v:0? NextPVR is sending. The Emby ffmpeg log above has the same output as the NextPVR log but it does use vaapi to scale and it just sends -c:v:0 Martin

Are you going to update the FFmpeg on the image or find another solution? BTW, I PM you the channel URL to test it out.

My build is a little later than yours. As suggested above, it may come down to the version of ffmpeg used in the container. I'm not sure what I'll do about that.

If you can edit config.xml to change <TranscodeHLS>default</TranscodeHLS> to
Code: <TranscodeHLS>-y [SEEK] -i [SOURCE] -map_metadata -1 -threads 0 -ignore_unknown -map 0:v:0 -map 0:a:[AUDIO_STREAM] -map -0:s -vcodec copy -acodec copy -hls_time [SEGMENT_DURATION] -start_number 0 -hls_list_size [SEGMENT_COUNT] -y [TARGET]</TranscodeHLS>It will better match what Emby is doing.

I will keep testing other channels, I think I wouldn't have issues thou. Do you think the new change will also fix the recording issue? Remember, I said that the files are semi-broken. Regards,

Recordings should be just like streaming to Kodi or Emby and should just be streamed to disk. I already explained the test I wanted to see.

Hi Guys, I am new to the forums here but not to NextPVR, I have been using the old setups for a couple of years now, I decided to update to the very lastest V5, all went well as I had decided to uninstall the old one V4 and start afresh, it records fine through a TBS 6284 card and when I click on the recording it plays, however I am unable now to play live tv either through the web app or the desktop app, on the web one I get "Streaming Failed Transcode Terminated" and on the desktop one just a blank screen.
I am running Win 10 Pro fully updated and use a AMD Radeon R9 200 Series 2GB GPU other than no live TV everything is fine. Is there anything I need to do? Regards Keith |
