NextVR didn't work well with Dispatcharr

[kfmf]

Hi,
I'm trying to implement the Dispatcharr server in front of my NextPVR server to replace my Threadfin Proxy solution, but something is still going wrong.
The dispatcharr preview works fine. So the IP stream can't be the problem.
However, every time I try to start a channel in NextPVR, either the channel won't start or it takes a very long time!
Any quick help would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

Not without logs, but I have read Dispatchrr can be slow. What are you looking for in a proxy, I am looking to see if somethings can be improved in NextPVR itself

Hi
Yes, of course I send you the link to the logs per PM.
It would be great to find the issue.
Thanks

I got the logs but Jellyfin is spamming your server. It does seem to be taking to long to come back from Dispatchrr

Also did you edit npvr.db3 at all, you might have done that as root.

Another potential issue is the Dispatchrr might not be passing the correct headers so NextPVR thinks it is has to transcode.

OK I switch off my Jellyfin. What should I do next. Did you need more logs,... to help???

No nothing more I can, especially if Threadfin was working I think it is just slow. Get rid of the TV shows and things will be more efficient feeding Kodi and Jellfyfin the IPTV without filtering by groups is hurting you.

What can I do for that? - Another potential issue is the Dispatcharr might not be passing the correct headers so NextPVR thinks it is has to transcode.

Now no channel starts again. - Maybe you see anything in the logs. I put on the same folder. - Thanks!

As far as I can tell from those logs is it is streaming to the browser (which you

There is an issue with the old ffmpeg 5 on your Linux which could be breaking things

Maybe test direct play from your Shield.

I try direct play from the dispatcharr to nextpvr, but it failed too.

Direct play gives the error - within nextpvr - Streaming Failed (transcoder exited) - no channel starts.

I put the log again on the same folder.
