Veetle - stream: Unknown tag type #861

Open jewshawn2 opened 9 years ago

jewshawn2 commented 9 years ago

Livestreamer disconnects from veetle with " Unknown tag type! ". Livestreamer will play the stream anywhere from 3 minutes to over an hour. Video stream is stable no lag. But livestreamer will eventually terminate the stream within 2 hours of play. I've tried different veetle channels with the same result. I'd appreciate it if someone else can verify.

Tried file/network caching but same problem. I don't think it's a video player problem. 'C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe' --file-caching=5000 --network-caching=5000'

Here is my setup: OS: Win7 64bit Players: VLC 2.2.1 (32bit) and MPC 1.7.8 (32bit) Livestreamer: latest stable 1.12.1 and nightly 1.12.1-18-g6060865.

Tested on a new i7 PC and had the same problem with the latest release. I don't think the "Unknown tag type!" error is specific to my PCs.

livestreamer-1.12.2 (2015-05-02)

The error message indicates that the stream payload read from the stream was invalid. FLV (flash video) only has 3 valid tags, audio/video/metadata. Livestreamer throws the above error if it receives any other tag value. More Info on FLV tags: http://superuser.com/a/502462

My guess: This is either a problem with the site's stream itself or the plugin for livestreamer. There's probably nothing wrong at your end.
