Hi Sub

I tried the new NShared.dll but got the same result trying to play the mp4 URL - black screen/no audio.

Attached are the logs.

Give this a go.

Hi Sub

I tried the latest NShared.dll you sent me and tried playing the same ml4 URL. No luck, same result as before - black screen/no audio.

If I then open the temp .ts file created by ffmpeg in NextPVR, it plays perfectly.

Here are the logs.

The problem seems to be caused by the fact it's taking your IPTV provider nearly 60 seconds to start delivering the stream. The app is waiting 15 seconds, before timing out.

Hi Sub

Thanks for the feedback.

Is there any way of setting a higher timeout in NetxtPVR?

Sub, just thought I would let you know that some of the other streams of this type from my IPTV provider do play OK in NextPVR.

OK great.

It is particularly odd this channel would be taking that log to start playing. Going by the logs though, that'd be the same in other players. I'm pretty sure it'd cause issues for most players taking that long.

Hi Sub

I'm actually OK if there is occasionally a stream that NextPVR can't play (for whatever reason). However, in this instance the inability to play the stream due to timeouts or whatever hangs the Kodi/NextPVR client and I have to do a restart.

Is there anything that can be done about this?

Cheers
