Channels play for a while then go into a loop. How can I fix this. I have the latest development version

#

are you using fallback filler?

#

Fallback: filler that is looped and cut as needed to fill any remaining gaps

#

from https://ersatztv.org/docs/user-guide/filler

#

I haven't configured any fillers. just have three channels

#

Only created the channels. A collection for each channel, shedule and playouts. Set the logo's and subs but that is it. Nothing else.

#

I do see this in the logs

 Warning     Unexpected pixel format null may have playback issues

#

can you clarify what you mean "go into a loop"

paper wing Jul 19, 2024, 7:53 PM

#

it cuts out and then repeats like the previous few minutes until it reaches that cut out point again and it goes back

#

it keeps repeating the same part until I change channels and go back

#

but then a couple of minutes later it happens again

#

Any ideas?

#

Could this be related to Tivimate?

#

I still don't understand based on your description

#

Have you checked the logs? Do you have ffmpeg reports enabled?

paper wing Jul 19, 2024, 8:28 PM

#

I will paste the report

#

an easy thing you could do would be to try playback with another client like vlc or mpv to see if the issue is with tivimate or with all clients

#

will try that as well

#

it is happening right now. In VLC it just stops and in Tivimate it repeats a certain portion of the movie.

#

this is where you can turn on ffmpeg reports in the main settings page, then try streaming again

#

#

do you have something configured in plex/tautulli to terminate connections or downloads?

paper wing Jul 20, 2024, 3:17 PM

#

Not intentionally. I use the standard settings

#

Is there something I can check in the Plex settings to make sure? My Plex server is installed on my Qnap NAS

Is ETV very different from DizqueTv, with DizqueTV I don't have this issue. Of course I prefer ETV but just can't get it to work. My laptop has an i9 12900K cpu and RTX 3080 GPU. I really can't find the solution.

I know this is a bit late on this thread but i am having the same looping happen. I will start a channel, change to another 1 or 2 , come back and it starts looping back a few minutes once it hits a certain point.
