So I've started having this issue where, while the player runs fine, eventually it just freezes. However, opening a new player or closing and reopening the existing player just causes it to play about 10 seconds (probably the buffer size) of the video, and freeze at the same spot. The playout continues to list the most up to date shows (so it's saying what should be playing) but the actual video is stuck at that spot until ETV is reloaded. Attached is the most recent log where this happened
#Stream randomly stops loading new shows

looks like you are maybe using two different clients that are configured with different streaming modes (saved in the m3u that you give them)
they will stomp on each other
i should probably fix so it keeps using the active streaming mode, but it doesn't today
2024-04-23 11:04:49.782 -04:00 [DBG] Session is already active; returning multi-variant playlist for channel 1
2024-04-23 11:05:28.904 -04:00 [DBG] Maybe starting ffmpeg session for channel 1, mode segmenter
2024-04-23 11:05:28.905 -04:00 [DBG] Session is already active; returning multi-variant playlist for channel 1
I'm confused. 2 different clients?

why do you have one request as segmenter v2, then one as segmenter v1 for the same channel

Hmm. Not sure. I'll have a look
so I checked my cli input for ffplay
this is what i'm using
don't know of any other clients

I'm not going to guess. Read the log. One says mode segmenter V2, one just says segmenter
midnight raven
Alright. What time?
abstract wedge
I literally pasted the relevant lines
midnight raven
oh
oh that might've been when I reloaded the players. So I loaded one, then loaded the other to see if it was happening on other players, or if it was just an ffplay issue, in which case this happened after the issue
i will correct that though. I never updated the playout settings it seems for the other player
that's been corrected. If/when it happens again, I'll send another log and look out for this
