Buffering, and cutting out.

paul19920801 commented 2 years ago

Hi

first of all thank you for developing this amazing app.

I run this on a VPS, which ensures an always on uninterrupted IPTV Service.

I initially had this running on a VPS in Amsterdam, and performance was outstanding, with Zero buffering. My physical location is in Cape Town

There seems to have been changes made on the USTVGo end a few days ago. The Amsterdam VPS ceased to be able to load the m3u playlist, and when I went to USTVGO, I was unable to stream, and noted the following. All channels required the use of the VPN, not just the VIP ones.

As soon as I moved ustvgo-iptv to a VPS located in the USA - USTVGO immediately started operating again.

However USTVGo works flawlessly for a few minutes, then starts buffering, and the stream ultimately terminates.

This has never happened before.

Is the autoauth still working, has something changed?

Please can you have a look.

Thanks

Hi. Do you use the app in a docker or as a systemd service? Try to run it standalone, first install with pip install ustvgo-iptv and then run ustvgo-iptv --access-logs. Copy your logs here during the issue so I can see if anything strange is going on.

I'll also start by saying a giant thank you for creating this project! I noticed that a couple of days ago the USTVGO site changed their entire channel lineup to require a US IP address where before they didn't have that requirement.

I have not noticed any buffering or instability out of the ordinary over the past couple of days.

interlark commented 2 years ago

Just checked. Indeed, with non-US IP addresses you can watch only CNN, Fox News and MSNBC channels. I hope they'll change their policy in near future, but for a while you have to use US VPN to watch USTVGO.

dahartigan commented 2 years ago

It's worth noting that for this latest change, the requirement of a US VPN is not limited to Nord VPN. I have been succesful with other providers too, including on a VPS in the US.

The "premium" channels haven't changed their requirements, so anyone using Nord in their setup should make sure their server location is somewhere in the US for the forseeable future.

I run the app as a standalone service on a VPS based in the USA, which runs Zerotier.

I am then able to retrieve them here in South Africa Will send logs now. I am now hosting it on a VPS in Johannesburg, which connects via VPN to the US VPS via Wireguard. It's a fairly high speed link, so speed can't be the issue. Will try access logs, and will post output shortly.
