Kodi playback - repeating/looping

[jzk]

I often record NBA games with NextPVR and start watching them at some point while the recording is still going on. When I watch these games in KODI the playback is unreliable. I will watch a few minutes and then it will go back 30 seconds and start playing the same part again. I have attached logs for the most recent occurrence (2/8/26) of this behavior. Please advise. Thanks.

Can someone offer help with my issue?

Sorry I was away an not opening logs.

Only your provider can help as they close the connection not you.

Code:

2026-02-07 15:00:02.276    [ERROR][204]    Unexpected error processing m3u8 url
---> System.IO.IOException: Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host..

You might get better or worse performance by using m3u8 instead of ts playback. You can experiment with your m3u playlist perhaps if ts change that to m3u8

However this problem happens often with IPTV some many of them don't scale well and sports events are the most watched. You might be better off with another provider. Another issue could be you aren't managing the connections your provider gives you and they could be kicking you off when you try to open too many streams.
