PlutoTV Extra Commerical Exit freezing

[bisonfan]

So I installed and got Plutotv working however I am running into an issue of the stream freezing coming out of a commercial.  I have read most if not all of the forum pages to realize this is most likely a stream link issue.  Has any one found a reliable solution from Streamlink or tips in general?  Is there a better version of streamlink to use than the most recent version? is there a different software solution?

Thanks!

The reliability of PlutoTV streams is better with streamlink then the raw URL m3u files on the Internet but not perfect. Compatibility varies by stream, but in general new streamlink versions are better than old, and as noted in other post, any issues with streamlink should be posted on their GitHub page. If you are using Linux the repo versions are terrible.

For recordings you might be better off post processing them and creating better recording, turning off thumbnail and timing generation.

Logs of course would help too to avoid guessing.

The problem have been fixed and might be release in the next version of streamlink, but the plugin fix is available.

Great. That was why I choose to go with streamlink and not my own reader.
