Player Crash on M3U8 LiveTV #4178
Description
Describe the bug
- Add an
m3uList withm3u8Stream URLs to Jellyfin
-> You will note they all work just fine on Jellyfin Web
However on Jellyfin Android TV, they will not play.
Instead the following happens:
- Screen turns black (as if playback would start now)
- Screen switches back to the Channel Menu
- Error Message: "Live TV stream error. Try again..."
- Error Message: "Player Error. Retrying..."
I do not have an up-to-date TVGuide. I have full permissions for LiveTV.
I tested with both forced transcoding and without.
For testing, I also gave the User Admin permissions.
All that didnt help: Android TV wasnt abled to play back the Live TV Stream.
Since I have found a m3u8 Stream is fully public and free to watch, I see no Reaason not to share it in here.
This is one of the Streams I am having that issue with too: (Live Stream off a random Airport I have once been to)
https://stream-5gw.1000eyes.de/cupertino/dusfcae.stream/chunklist_w1244453062.m3u8
I dont have proof, but I am pretty sure I have seen this working on an earlier Android TV/ Jellyfin Server Version.
Something 10.9.x.
Note: This issue is also happening on the current Stable build on Google Play, and therefore cannot be related to the latest beta changes.
