Strange Streaming behaviour

[bazzanz]

All channels mentioned seem to be pay channels, try with FTA channels and see if you have the same issue

Yes same thing, some channels work others show buffering 25%..59%..100% then stream a black screen.

I have gone a step further and unboxed a new gigablue with TeamBlue and gone through the install with CCcam and was able to stream all channels to the TV just fine with the smart apps on TV.
The issue I ran into with CCcam is once you got over 2 clients it did. some strange things like cause another client to buffer for a few seconds while the third client connected.
This is known behaviour with CCcam from what ive read when you have more than 2 clients its best to use OSCam.

I then downloaded latest OpenVix zip and flashed to slot 2 on the GB.
Installed OSCam.
I can do full quad PIP of 4 channels and stream using VLC of all channels.
But when I use the smart apps on tv Smart IP TV or SmartOne IPTV, I can only stream the same channels I could before, just a selection. of them.

I disabled OSCam and installed CCcam so the setup was similar to the TeamBlue config, but again I'm limited to what channels I can stream.
I enabled quad PIP and saw the limitations of CCcam having issues with more than 2 streams it would glitch channels.

So there must be some different behaviour in the way OpenVix opens the stream vs TeamBlue.
Be it some timer, or the way it reads PID's and adds them to the stream or something?

@bazzanz
Teamblue is basically OpenPli code with extras and built on the OE-A.
OpenViX C++ code (used for the tuner handling) is very similar to OpenPli. OpenViX is python 3 based, whereas OpenPli/Teamblue are python2

So I have a gbue4K that I can setup with a LG (WEBOS) TV.
Can I use this to test your issue?
If so, how would I do this, in the simplest way to test your issue? without having to pay for either of the 2 apps.

@twol
I'll PM you, but both https://smartone-iptv.com and https://siptv.app/howto/ can be downloaded and tested free for 14 days, after which is something like 5 pounds or dollars.

I'll send you my playlist to try out if you wish

So your pm box is full.
running 4 x 28.2E in pip, 1 x 28.2E streamed to E 2 receiver, 1 x 28.2E on LG TV no issues.
all services different transponders, different services

[twol]

To be clear.
gbue4k for 28.2E is uisng fbc tuner into unicable switch and quad lnb.(unicable lnb would be same, but for historic reasons setup is as is)

Sorry was not aware of 10 message limit, now cleared.

So you were able to scroll through all channels on the Streaming app on your TV no issue?

As far as I could tell on the available services on 28.2E (I have a big dish but some are not available) everything was OK, both SD & HD…… but all free, none encrypted

Do you think the issue may be the way OpenVix handles the encryption, i.e. the way it starts the stream to the client, then only starts the decryption or something?
A different way to the way TeamBlue does it ?

As stated above OpenViX and Teamblue are built from the same core so there is going to be no difference between CCcam/OScam. Also you already stated that the problem does affect Teamblue. And you also already said the problem does not affect VLC, so ViX does not have a "decryption" problem, so looks like an "or something" problem.

You said this:

Problem I have is if I use my smart TV with streaming apps like SmartOne IPTV to stream, its only working for channels on the same transponder.

Please do the same test on FTA channels.

[bazzanz]

You said this:

Sorry I was mistaken about the transponder, and I later referenced the frequencies that work and dont work, they are from different transponders.
I will test FTA again tomorrow, but last time I tested it affected these too.

It worked on TeamBlue, I flashed OpenVix to slot 2, then the problem started, even if I rolled back to slot 1 (TeamBlue) on the giga
So I unboxed another Giga which I happened to have and followed the same procedure, worked on team blue, flashed Vix to slot 2, problem started again and if I went back to slot 1, team blue never worked again.

Will report back tomorrow on the FTA channels again

[Huevos]

When a receiver is booted into slot 1 it does not any code from slot 2 and vice versa.

by the way all my tests (which worked fine) were with smartiptv, if I get time and can set up will try the other one.
