    I'm on .18 and not yet had this fatal error. As I've said the fatal signal error, has occurred on really old versions in past even before I started using IPTV.

    It does, for me anyhow, appear totally random.

    I was updating my IPTV bouquets today and whilst I had a steam playing, I did an init 4 in preparation for uploading a new bouquet and I got the fatal signal crash. This leads me to believe the fatal signal is when leaving a stream rather than when going to a stream - maybe that will help someone that's smarter than me to fix the problem

    adding more info on this threat to see if we get to the bottom of this problem. while zapping my iptv folder created by telnet using putty command the IPTV channels does not crach, this folder does not have any epg assignment, they only crash on the bouquet created by xtream editor if the EPG are present. also tested the bouquet created by xtream editor wihtout epg and it does not crach, is then when imported the epg when it crashes. SO I CAN CONFIRM THE PROBLEM IS DUE TO THE EPG assignment.

    The problem seems to have been fixed for me from build 25, not had a crash since then.

    It's intermittent I believe and rare at that.

    I'm still on .18 and not had crash at all whether switching from/to an IPTV channel on a IPTV bouquet or not. I've had this happen previously on normal DVB channels.

    It's hard to re-produce reliably which makes it all that harder to actually get to the bottom of it.

    ok i have the solution for me using openvix on vu+zero 4k, the problem happens only while using DVB (1) with EPG. i had to change the stream type. i used the system plugging SERVICEAPP and im using exteplayer3 and all IPTV stream works fine and while changing channel it does not crash. hope this can help anybody having the same issue.

    I use Gstreamer, type 4097, rather than 5001/5002 (as used by ServiceApp/Exteplayer3).

    Last time I looked into 5001/5002, I'm sure I couldn't record (not even manual record) these streams but was fine on 4097.

    Using type 1 for IPTV, for most I assume, means a lot of glitching as other service types are more suited for IPTV and other streams.

    is weird that while using DVB 1 all channels work fine while using iptv 4097 there are some channels that image looks in slow motion and some other channels the sounds is not sync with the image!

    gstreamer is in each image - well it's in main oe-a images. It's what is used when using 4097 service type.

    1 = using box SoC (chip). Generally used for DVB as most of time can't cope with glitches, etc in IPTV streams.
    4097 = Gstreamer
    5001/5002 = ServiceApp (Exteplayer3, etc)

    Thanks to @Abu for above info

    Thank for your advice on this.

    i managed to install gstreamer through iptvplayer, however using 4097 and gstreamer on serviceapp most channels works really slow like in slow motion. so far using 4097 and extrplayer3 workd fine just cople of channels workd weird. if i use dvb 1 with original enigma2 player works the best however this is what cause the crash while changing channels on iptv
