Recording telerising streams doesn't work

[tms87]

Hello,

Currently I am trying to watch and record internet streaming, using Telerising API to watch Zattoo and other M3U playlists. To watch and record these channels, I installed NextPVR.

Playlists, which contain M3U8 links, such as the German ARD (https://daserste-live.ard-mcdn.de/dasers...aster.m3u8), are working properly with NextPVR.

However, I am having issues with watching and recording the Zattoo channels. To generate links, I use the "Telerising API" software, which creates links like: http://192.168.178.45:5000/api/zc2/live/rtl. I can watch these links in VLC Media Player, so I assume everything is fine with the Telerising API. But when I try to record these channels in NextPVR, I get a "[Failed: Recording interrupted]" error nearly instantly after the recording starts. A TS file, an XML file, and a timing file are created, but the TS file stays at 0 KB.

The log files show that ffmpeg exited immediately after the recording started.

Code:

2025-01-26 18:18:06.806 [DEBUG][14] Started recording (860:1:C:\Aufnahmen\Galileo Stories\Season 01\Galileo.Stories.S01E116.Thema.u.a.Wie.die.Pizza.die.Welt.eroberte.ts)

2025-01-26 18:18:06.843 [DEBUG][35] ffmpeg exited. Likely end of VOD.

I have attached the full log file. Can anyone suggest how I can fix this issue?

Thank you,
Thomas

It seems it is ffmpeg failing to connect not NextPVR however there might be something that NextPVR can do to work that redirect to m3u8 file

2025-01-26 17:28:32.272 [DEBUG][12] content-type: application/m3u8
2025-01-26 17:28:32.272 [DEBUG][12] abandoning direct connection due to content-type: application/m3u8

Does it play with

"C:\Program Files\NextPVR\Other\fflay.exe" http://192.168.178.45:5000/api/zc2/live/rtl

Maybe also try

curl -L http://192.168.178.45:5000/api/zc2/live/rtl

and share the output.

I just google the ffplay.exe error and found this german link in the telerising forum: https://www.kodinerds.net/thread/72127-t...pageNo=195

There somebody reports, that changing the manifest type from HLS7 to DASH works for him, and I can confirm this is working for me too!

I figured it was ffmpeg. If sub was to support that odd mime type that ffmpeg doesn't like eithe, NextPVR might be able to play the streams without sending them to ffmpeg.
