Some channels refuse to play live but work fine when played from recording #533

Closed deeptho closed 1 year ago

deeptho commented 3 years ago

I have one specific DVB channel that refuses to play from within kodi with pvr.hts tested version kodi-pvr-hts-8.3.2-1.fc34.x86_64 on fedora 34.

Sometime 1 still picture appears and sporadicaly (e.g., after 20 seconds_) another one. At other times, nothing appears at all. The channel is fine: it can be played live via the web interface of tvheadend. It can also be recorded and then plays fine in kodi. The only thing that does not work is live play. All other channels are fine (although many months ago I encountered another channel with a similar problem; they are rare!)

kodi itself remains functional after stopping the playback but consumes very cpu time (160% or more). The problem happens all the time on this specific channel (so reproducible).

temp/kodig.log contains very few relevant log messages:

I don't know if it was the same root cause, but my kodi (19.1.0 - 85e05228b4) with iptv plugins (8.4.0) crash systematically when I play Live channels. But recorded show is fine.

As workaround I play recorded show and then without stopping, launch live channel and it works.

@deeptho is this still an issue, with latest Kodi version?
