Streaming Failed (transcoder exited)

[keith72]

Hi Guys,        I am new to the forums here but not to NextPVR, I have been using the old setups for a couple of years now, I decided to update to the very lastest V5, all went well as I had decided to uninstall the old one V4 and start afresh, it records fine through a TBS 6284 card and when I click on the recording it plays, however I am unable now to play live tv either through the web app or the desktop app, on the web one I get "Streaming Failed Transcode Terminated" and on the desktop one just a blank screen.

I am running Win 10 Pro fully updated and use a AMD Radeon R9 200 Series 2GB GPU other than no live TV everything is fine.

Is there anything I need to do?

Regards

Keith

First could you change the title to something more generic like cannot play Live TV transcoding is for the web app.

I suspect signal is the real problem maybe check the connections to your antenna

I agree with Martin - it's not sounding like it's related to the transcoder (which is only used for playback in the web app). It may be signal related.

Try doing a recording, and let use know if you end up with a file on disk, and if it looks like a normal size, and can it be played in any player.

Signal seems fine as I can record a tv prog and watch it right after, checked tv cable in in the card and its okay, I went and installed V4 and I get tv pics okay with that.. maybe revert back even as its baffling me.

When you try to watch live tv in the desktop app, it'll create a file called something like C:\Users\Public\Videos\live-BBC 1 Scot HD-15277.ts. Check this type of file is being created, and if it has anything in it.

That folder has 2 files BBC RB1 3980ts and BBC Red Button 1930ts neither will play with vlc

Delete the files (in case they're old, or unrelated), reproduce the problem, grabbing a copy of the file from that directory while trying to watch live tv, then put the file somewhere for me to download (like dropbox/onedrive etc).

I deleted the 2 files and then went back to try and watch something but no files went into that folder at all and still no picture either
anyway off to bed now will try again later today
