    Strange Streaming behaviour

    Hey guys,

    Gigablue quad 4k here.
    I have enabled only tuner A for testing.

    I can stream multiple channels using VLC and on the sat directly on a TV.
    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.
    If I use VLC I get them all. Before moving to OpenVix I used TeamBlue and it worked, though I changed to OpenVix for other reasons.

    I am using OSCam, but dont believe this to be the issue as I can stream multiple channels using VLC just fine
    When I stream on the TV Apps it starts buffering then streams a black screen
    I know the original packet goes through OSCam as I can see it and I know the TV can do just fine on all the channels in the same transponder, just cant change for some reason.

    One thing I did notice is in OSCam, I always see a cache hit even though there has been nothing happening for a while., this cache hit doesnt happen when I use VLC though

    If you only have tuner A enabled how do you think you would be able to stream from multiple transponders?

    The tuner is a FBC. Also as mentioned, I can stream using VLC and get multiple transponders; its only when I use TV apps to try stream channels.

    Just posting to see if anyone can think of a reason why a single transponder would be locked in for this specific scenario

    Whether it is FBC or not it is one tuner.

    Ok, lets try this again.
    I have Tuner A,C,D,E,F,G,H enabled.

    I can stream multiple transponders and channels with no issue with VLC.
    When I use an IPTV application on my TV, the behaviour is slightly different where it can only stream on a single transponder.

    When I was using TeamBlue image, I had no issue with all the channels.
    I moved to OpenVix to troubleshoot a fault I had; but it ended up being a CCcam issue and I moved to OScam which fixed it.

    So how would your app on the TV know it is one transponder?

    All a stream is, is an http request to the receiver. If it works for VLC the receiver is working correctly.

    So I enabled debug and got the following data

    Failed stream - https://pastebin.com/4eHqZGbs
    Good stream with different client (VLC) same channel- https://pastebin.com/pX2FPpqq

    Can anyone see anything from the logs in https://pastebin.com/4eHqZGbs giving reason why its failing?

    Seems to be any time there is a channel stream and there is PIDs found and added, then its like it gets forwarded to a different set of PIDs
    this causes the streams to fail?

    It's like a link or something that the client is failing to follow?

    Still cant get it to work :/
    Tried using SmartOne IPTV (https://smartone-iptv.com) and Smart IPTV (https://siptv.app/news/).
    Cant stream all channels, when I used to be able to using TeamBlue.
    I can stream them if transcoding, but dont think the box will like transcoding 4-6 channels

    Weirdest thing is, I tried rolling back to TeamBlue (as I have multi boot) but now its not working on TeamBlue either.
    Works just fine in VLC.

    That it doesn't work on Teamblue either just proves it is not the image at fault. Obviously the problem is with the apps.

    it DID work, so I know the player can hold it.
    I can watch Spy Sports 1 but not 2-4.
    codec is the same, for all.
    Works if I transcode it

    So probably can't handle the data bandwidth.

    That wouldn't make sense as even SD quality streams wont work:

    Sky 5 - 12608 Mhz H 22500 2/3 8PSK 169-2 (H264 y420)
    Sky Box Sets - 12267 MHZ H 22500 2/3 8PSK 169-9 (H264 y420)
    MTV Hits - 12421 MHZ H 22500 3/4 8PSK 169-14 (H264 y420)
    Sky Movies Action - 12295 MHZ H 22500 3/4 8PSK 169-10 (H264 y420)
    Sky Sports 1 - 12331 MHZ H 22500 2/3 8PSK 169-7 (H264 y420)
    Sky Sports 6

    Doesnt work
    Sky Sport 2 - 12331 Mhz H 22500 2/3 8PSK 169-7 (H264 y420)
    Sky Sport 3 - 12267 Mhz H 22500 2/3 8PSK 169-9 (H264 y420)
    Jones! - 12608 Mhz H 22500 2/3 8PSK 169-2 (SD Channel with lower resolution) (H264 y420)

    The channels that dont work actually buffer, then stream a blank nothingness, no audio no picture, just a black screen which eventually gets stopped by enigma.

    Here is the debug when running through the last few channels including Jones! SD, using VLC

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