"OSError: [Errno 41] Protocol wrong type for socket" on OS X

[splitsurround]

Hi. I got locast2plex installed and working. I can fire up a show, all seems good. But after a few minutes, every time, this error reports in my terminal app:

OSError: [Errno 41] Protocol wrong type for socket

Since I'm not very knowledgable about command line stuff or python, I asked a python group to take a look and immediately was told it's a bug in the software. I can't say that it is for sure, but something odd is bumping me off my connection.

thanks!

I get the same thing, but it might be once a day. It works perfect otherwise, but I get this error, it hangs, I need to Ctrl C it, then launch it again. This is also OS X, running on a BigSur server.

Any info would be great!

Just to share my workaround:

i went with the docker route. Difficult to learn, but totally stable, starts after restart, etc.

When you say you went the Docker route, did you install docker on OS X or did you install it on a Linux box? I’m running BigSur in a vm already, so I didn’t want to use Docker which typically would be a vm in a vm.

I was hoping there would be a fix to address this natively rather than having to run this on Linux for example, since this is so close to working perfect.

Also having this same issue. Seems to occur when I click the X button to end a streaming session on a given channel. Happening about 50% of the time. Restarting the terminal session makes it go back to normal. Not sure where to start troubleshooting it.

[splitsurround]

Have you considered upgrading to locast2tuner?

I ran into some issues with HomeBrew on 10.13. Maybe I should give it another try.

update Yeah, locast2tuner isn’t an option. Homebrew fails to install on this OS. It’s an older machine, and I can’t go past 10.13.

I am having the exact issue. I had a few hurdles during installation, but have it up and running under these conditions:

MacOS 10.14.6 (Mojave) Terminal Python 3.9 Plex Server ver. 1.24.0.4930 FFmpeg installed via Brew

I couldn't get a live stream to work on any Plex client type however could DVR and watch after the show ended (strange), but resolved by adding tuner_type=Cable to the .ini file. Now I'm having the issue describe above. I am having to use one of the three tuners locally (not ideal) on the server to keep it up and running so that I can access from other clients. As soon as I end ANY tuner stream from ANY Plex client type it kills the Locast2Plex script in Terminal. Here are my logs for reference upon ending a live stream within Plex Client:

Thanks for any insights out there to resolve.

Done! You're right, appears to be much more stable. Also additional features are great. Thanks for the heads up. Cheers!

Hello,

I had resolved this issue by running it within Docker. I have no idea why it works better within Docker. I'd prefer to run it without Docker as I am running this OSX instance as a VM anyway, so it is a little slower running in Docker, but I have found it to be very stable within Docker and rarely crashes. Any way we can fix this so that we do not need to use Docker?

[splitsurround]

Any time!

I also ended up just getting Docker up and running. So far so good. If I run into issues, I’ll take a look at locast2tuner, but for right now, it’s working just fine. I’m able to start and stop streams without encountering any errors.
