1.6.0: streams keep being stopped #189

Closed WyohKnott closed 6 years ago

WyohKnott commented 7 years ago

Since 1.6.0beta, streams keep being stopped after a few min of use and do not reconnect automatically. It seems that before, the reconnect was automatic.

(also you should add the minimum version of Qt on the README page for the material-ui version)

WyohKnott commented 7 years ago

I downgraded to version 1.4 and it was still happening, so I don't think it's an issue with new code. It only happens in some streams and not others. When I pause the stream for a few seconds then it doesn't happen, so I think it's a problem that could be resolved by increasing the buffer of the streams.

@WyohKnott : what platfrom are you testing on? (win7,8,10 or linux* or mac)... also do you have any examples with what channels/streams this keeps happening on? (also are their VOD's affected)

also have you tried with the lower quality settings, not just the Source quality as it can require A LOT of bandwidth

*if linux, what backend?

WyohKnott commented 7 years ago

Linux Fedora 26 with Qt multimedia backend.

Streamer: Drupal, Fremily, Dexbonus

VOD is fine.

I have a large bandwidth connection and it doesn't happen with all streamers.

I will test them out soon, anyway..

Do you have all gstreamer codecs installed?

Also for me at least the MPV backend has now been working perfectly, compared to the Qt-multimedia version which has been little bit of a hit and miss (depending on the distros at least)

PS. it would be nice if you could link the right streamers, so can test the right one PPS. there is also a Debug (command line) option, aka -d / --debug ..as you use the gstreamer backend it would help it you add "export GST_DEBUG=2" as your environment variable : source

I just tested Fremily stream...I think/hope... as they seem to be online now, and it works for me just fine...okay I'm using MPV backend and I have a basic 100M connection:

I've just tested with the mpv backend and it's still buggy. I do the same trick where I pause the stream for a few seconds and it works afterwards.

The debug parameter doesn't provide any weird output.

@WyohKnott : did you have this same buffering problem when watching from the twitch website, if you have then its your connection if not ... the only problem with bigger cache is that the "stream delay" will increase.

At least in mpv the "cache-initial=" settings needs to be added/or higher value so it will start playback when your cache is filled up with x kB, or something like this plugin/script (mpv only) @alamminsalo @rakslice your thoughts?

ahjolinna commented 7 years ago

@WyohKnott : also did you run/debug the orion with gdb? (with that debug parameter)

WyohKnott commented 7 years ago

@ahjolinna I don't have any problems with the website or the android app even while I'm downloading torrents, so its not my connection.
I don't know how to use gdb, I'll look it up.

ahjolinna commented 7 years ago

Well in short install gdb... The run these commands :

gdb orion (or the executables location)

run -d

And when/if it crashes : bt full
