IPTV consistently freezing - comes back if channel changed

[RogerTheTodger]

Please try another image the Vix image is not compatible with your supplier, use Wooshbuild or iPab if you go to your Band/Admin they will tell you the same don’t waste your time trying to get Vix image to run smooth with iptv as it was designed for satellite.

Apart from the random freeze, it works pretty damn well. Seems a shame to give up on Vix when it's so close to perfection

IPTV works fine for me on Vix just that OpenATV is more user friendly for time-shift and recording if your IPTV allows recording.

You don’t buy a Rolls Royce and take it to a Ford dealership when it goes wrong. You are asking for help on the wrong forum as i said Band/Admin and ask for help.

It will only be a matter of time before its introduced into the forum rules.

Can not see how iptv talk will be band as forum sponsor sells iptv boxes and people need help with those

Glitch is still present for me with OpenATV and OpenPLI. Can't find any other images that support my box to try.

If you are lucky enough to get a good iptv supplier you will find more help from them then asking for help on a satellite forum. Just because WOS sells iptv ready box’s does not mean the forum they sponsor are obliged to help you with your iptv problems.

Supplier? If they were legit you might get help.

[RogerTheTodger]

Already tried supplier, and although my box is supported, this seems to be a well known issue with Enigma2 boxes, not a lot the supplier can do about it other than to suggest trying another box. I've considered buying a MagBox, but as I said earlier, it would be a shame to bin the ET8000 as it otherwise functions perfectly. I'm only asking here because it would appear to be a glitch with the code, for which somebody has apparently found a fix, see my earlier post.

I've never got IPTV to timeshift but recording works well most of the time.
All to down to how stable the stream is ,only needs a lengthy freeze for it to corrupt the recording.

Well Amazon also sell them, but you could not ask them these questions.

Sorry to resurrect this thread but having used IPTV for a while now these are my observations; With a good stream there is absolutely no problems and never any freezing. Free streams that end with .ts always freeze after 1 or 2 minutes. They will also freeze using VLC player on laptop unless you click the 'loop' button. So openvix needs something like this to automatically reselect the stream if it freezes.

Streams will also freeze if there is a glitch in the original stream i.e if streaming and old recording from vhs tape where the signal might break up. So openvix needs to detect when stream is lost and simply reconnect the same as when you quickly change channels and go back and the stream starts again instantly. Would this be possible?

I should add free .ts file will always freeze and m3u or m3u8 files will freeze only if there is a major glitch.

Mine always freezes but might take a couple of hours or 10 mins. Do you know if there is any box that will reconnect after the stream is loss without having to change channels. Mag, Dreamlink etc?

No sorry I don't. But the strange thing is when I had an IPTV sub for a short while there was no freezing (that needed a quick channel change) and that was using .ts streams!

You can in many cases change the stream type yourself. When downloading channel lists from a XC server, change the output=ts to output=m3u8

The streams may not play with the standard (type 1) player but should be OK with the GST (Type 4097) or EXT-3 Eplayer (Type 5002)

Thank you but I have tried changing to both type 1 & type 4097 and it doesn't make any difference to the freezing. 4097 is good for recording and type 1 is good for using stream in picture-in-picture.
Will maybe give 5002 a go and see if that helps.
