It's great that IPTV can now be paused. If anyone can solve the problem of .ts streams freezing after a couple of minutes then that would be even better and make the box practically perfect!

Thanks for the reply but it's a well known problem. If playing the stream on VLC you can get round the problem by using loop function. On openvix you have to change channel and go back. I have already tried all the options you suggested but no joy. By the way these are free streams I'm talking about not created bouquets using suls app & sub which when tested work ok although they are .ts streams also.
I never got round to testing this but maybe restarting network with crontimer
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 down
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 up

Yes it was a reply to your question, I haven't fully tested it but maybe create a .sh file i.e. restart_network.sh with those commands then add to usr/script then set a cron timer to run it every 3 minutes.
I would be careful though as the web server may see it as ddos attacking as you will be constantly reconnecting to the stream every 3 minutes so try it on something your not bothered about getting banned from.

Is there not a way to detect a frozen stream and do a fake stream or channel change?
From my understanding of the different service types (from what I've read and some from what I've experienced on my solo2):-
Service type 1 = better at recovering from glitches but I've found my box has more glitches using this but I understand some boxes are better with this service type. Can record from this.
Service type 4097 = less glitches but doesn't recover very well when a glitch does happen. Can record from this.
Service type 5001+ = Never really tried these as you can't record (last time I checked).
Sometimes, it's hard to know if glitches are because of our hardware/setup, iptv provider or a mixture of both.
