Failed to start requested stream / transcoder exited

[thejollyreaper]

I managed to scan for channels, but whenever I try streaming one it loads for a very long time before giving me a "failure to start requested stream" error. 

Tried re-scanning, didn't work. Also tried exporting the playlist to VLC, also couldn't load a stream.

If you stop and restart NextPVRServer does that help?

Previously no, it didn't. Restarted it again and it's working now though. Guess I just needed to tattle on it.

Thanks!

[thejollyreaper]

So it worked perfectly for like half an hour before the streams started to fail again. Restarting got it back up

Basically you need to upload logs for every problem.

The logs. Also note sure if it matters, but I've been accessing the streams through jellyfin

[mvallevand]

I don't see any access via the jellyfin plugin so I suspect that the crash of the tuner at 14:14:57 had some ripple effect. The lost logging info will make if difficult to diagnose, hope he finds something.

Not sure if it's any help but I copied and zipped up some of the output from the terminal running NPVR. 

I've been trying to narrow down when the issue happens but it feels seemingly random whether or not tuning to a channel will work or fail.

[mvallevand]

I am sure it is not random, but it could be a signal strength issue.

Sometimes the logs get this error before crashing, [ERROR] dvb_fe_set_parms failed

Not sure what that tells us though

When you say signal strength, do you mean antenna or internet strength?
