IPTV Issue Pixilation on paid service

[tonyk23]

I am getting pixilated video on all channels for a new service I am trying. Random free IPTV sites look fine. Both services work well in VLC and also plays fine on an AppleTV 4 App.. I have played with all the decoder options but that does not seem to be the issue. The only difference in the two streams is the size and quality of the video. See attached screenshots and the relevant section of the log file. If you want the full logs let me know and I will add them.

Thanks for the assistance.

If you want the full logs let me know and I will add them.

NextPVR components include the Recording Service that schedules and directs connections to tuner devices and ndigitalhost processes that connect to tuners and receive the stream. It may be that all of these are required to diagnose a problem. I have no experience with IPTV but I am sure that someone will be along soon who can help. You might want to zip and attach a full set of logs to a post telling us the time of the attempts to view channels so that we know where to look in the logs.

Plus, what result do you get if you record and playback the recording from one of the pixellated channels? (PS. Apologies if I am teaching you to suck eggs).

Thanks for the advise.

Here are the times. Also search for BBC as both test channels are BBC 2.

If you record a channel, then play that file back in NextPVR, do you still see this pixilation? If you play that file back in another player, like VLC, do you still see the pixilation?

Same issue with the recorded file.

Tony, I've sent you a PM.

Ok, I've worked out what is happening. They're using "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" for transferring the data in chunks within the http response. I've never encountered this before, but I'm going to add support for it.

[tonyk23]

Thanks so much.

Let me know if I can help test once support is added.

The attached patch adds support for "Transfer-Encoding: chunked". I've tested it successfully with a trial account with your IPTV provider.

Seems to work great. Thank you. I am testing recordings now.
