    Open Webif streaming issues

    Streaming channels from my box via Open Webif is very hit and miss, more miss than hit really, can hardly get a stream going at all.

    Most of the times channels dont start and i get no video or sound when opened in VLC.

    More often than not the channel that the box is currently on does stream then when i try another channel it doesn't work, i thought this may be an issue with one of the tuners but i can successfully watch and record a different channel so that tells me both tuners are ok.

    Putting the box in standby and trying to stream doesn't help.

    Oddly FTA channels seem to work more so than Sky channels, when im testing i can get FTA channels to work multiple times one after another but then if i try a Sky channel i get nothing.

    I'm trying to stream on my internal network and external and get the same results.

    Is this normal or does it work perfect for others?

    Are there any other ways i can stream and try a different method?

    pretty much confirmed that the only way i can get this to work is if i reboot the box then the first time i try and stream it works, changing channels on the stream doesn't work for me unless its fta channels, really odd issue!

    ok ive started from scratch tonight, reinstalled the Vix image and installed\setup minimal plugins, auto bouquet\open webif, and still the same issue occurs

    from a fresh reboot i can only stream one channel through Open Webif, if i try and open a second stream, after closing the first it never works, reboot the box and the first stream works again.

    Nobody else getting this? ive done a clean install of Vix, formatted HDD before hand, i just don't get what's going on here.

    I am using the deafult webif. I cannot replicate your issue.

    I can switch between channels without issue (encrypted and fta). The only thing I cannot seem to do at the moment is to open two simultaneos windows in VLC. I might play with Media player classic later.

    However, I can watch three FTA channels on the go subject to transponder limitations. TV on one channel, PC streaming another and phone doing another.

    Maybe describe how you are changing channels on webif.

    I'm having the same issue as you. It used to only happen when I used TS player and then only Sky channels but its happening now on VLC and SMplayer also with more than just the sky channels.

    could you please list your Vix build and driver version etc?

    There must be some common factor if you're getting the same issue.

    Also now ive found out that when im watching a stream the main channel on the TV start to glitch after a short while, maybe 30 mins or so, and becomes unwatchable, really annoying, do you also get this issue?

    Yes I now get the same thing my self on all newer builds. Were now just waiting on TM to build a new kernel and drivers for us that will hopefully resolve a lot of the issues seen of late.

    I have rolled back to an image when i first got my box, it was an all-in-one image from another forum which contained pre-configured settings like CrossEPG and picons and other plugins pre installed, streaming works fine using this image, internal and externally from my home network.

    OpenVIX 3.0 Build 679
    Kernel 3.5.3
    Drivers N/A--
    Last Update 2013-06-08

    not sure why driver version is missing but that's what is displayed on-screen with the menu, my faith in the box has almost been restored! This shows the issues are software related which means hopefully its possible to fix in future updates.

    I would be interested to know if other people getting the same issue if they downgrade do their streaming issues disappear too?

    there's been a couple of releases of the ViX image recently but i see nothing about drivers, is the streaming issue still being looked at or still waiting for drivers from TM?
