recordings ship only one audio track

[mvallevand]

First try a different non-transcoding player like Kodi to see. Your West Side Story is direct play and it doesn't have two tracks. We need a better source sample that has the two tracks.

The web player does looks to be only passing one audio track when the source audio is not AAC. Maybe edit config.xml in /config to

<LanguagePreference1>esp</LanguagePreference1>
<LanguagePreference2>qaa</LanguagePreference2>


Likely unrelated sub will need to look at why this is repeated in the log

Code:

iptv expert (non tranascoding) shows 2 audio tracks

I don't care, I am taking about NextPVR clients. if you are sure that movie has two audio tracks provide a sample from it.

how can I provide a sample without recording it?

[teraflops]

is this valid?

I have asked you more than once to record a better sample and upload it. That movie has two AAC tracks unlike West Side Story and so it is provided raw to the player. If the web player doesn't allow you to select one or the other, try Kodi.

If you can't do this I guess sub can help.

That recording would use different transcoding since it is AAC audio so it is a different scenario.

after the changes you suggested it records 2 audio tracks, could it be just a shitty provider/stream?

[mvallevand]

The providers isn't providing all streams in web playable h264/aac that doesn't make the provider shitty, just not compatible with NextPVR web player logic.

However If they only vary by channel no real issue as the config.xml settings will help, but if they vary by movie or show on the same channel then yes NextPVR can have a problem since I am pretty sure the web player like a constant format. Once again I suggest a direct play client like Kodi would be better.
