Distorted Audio

[magnetar]

I'm giving NextPVR a try and am having an issue I'm hoping someone can assist with. When playing several OTA stations (their IPTV versions as well) the video plays for 5-10 sec, pauses, then resumes but with the audio distorted. It almost sounds as if it's slowed down but remains in sync with the video.

I'm running NextPVR in docker on an Unraid server. I've tried transcoding via CPU and VAAPI but it has the same results. I also tried linking NextPVR to my Emby server and running it through that but it has the same results.

Any ideas what is going on? Thanks.

Did you try with a direct play client like Kodi to see if you server is having trouble keeping up. Uploading your zipped logs would be the only way to diagnose this further, it is not a general problem.

I have using Emby, assuming I'm doing it right. I think the problem might have to do with VAAPI transcoding. Emby was breaking up a lot when I had that set as the default transcoder, but when I switched it to Quicksync it cleaned up. Is there a way to use Quicksync with NextPVR? I'm not seeing anything in the FAQ or wiki.

VAAPI is the only supported format on Linux including Docker. However NextPVR sends the raw stream to Emby without transcoding in most cases so it appears to be an Emby issue. Without logs or testing in a true NextPVR direct play client we can't help further.
