Catchup skipping when close to live edge.

[kontell]

Catchup works very well except when I'm less than about 10mins from live.

When I get this close to the live edge the video will occasionally skip backwards. I'm using play from EPG in live TV mode.

What kind of catchup stream do you have?

[kontell]

Not sure what you're asking but the EXTINFO is: timeshift="3"

[phunkyfish]

From looking at your log I see that that your steam terminates, and has a granularity of 1.

Terminating streams require a reload when they reach close to the end. Could that be what you are experiencing?

[kontell]

When much closer to the live edge I think that happens. But this is when multiple minutes back, I can seek successfully but the video will skip back a few seconds intermittently.

[phunkyfish]

Ok, can you do produce another log for me?

This time write down the hours, minutes and seconds of each seek you do and whether it was successful or not. By successful I mean the seek worked and there was no side effects.

I can use this to hopefully find the root of the problem in your log.

[kontell]

I'll get a log like this (if it's more convenient for you I can give you the token).

[phunkyfish]

The log will do for now. I’m in an area with poor coverage at the moment and wouldn’t be able to play the stream for a few days.

[kontell]

See attached log with timestamps.

Hey, just getting to this now. Do you have the times the seeks were performed?

[kontell]

I've added comments to the top of the log which include time stamps.

[phunkyfish]

Perfect, I see them now.
