Cannot play AAC encoded streams #652
Comments

I will give it a try later today... What I can say that I already tried was to use tvheadend to record a faulty channel and then play it back on my arm box. In this case, it works correctly. Maybe this already replies to what you want to know. Anyways, I'll try the |
yes, it works fine in this way... |
Ok, for the next test can you try adding this before one of the streams in your M3U file:
This will force iptvsimple to use kodi’s internal ffmpeg inputstream. |
Also works correctly with this. It's just that catchup/timeshift is not available but I guess that is expected... |
To add a bit more on the above (I'm now using the "Inputstream name" setting as a workaround):
Well, catchup is available but is not too useful since I cannot fast forward and go back and jumping to the EPG programs is not really reliable (maybe because of my IPTV supplier) The other thing (and this one is the more worrying one) is that the image always freezes for a few moments when switching to a channel (in some channels the freeze - sometimes black screen - duration is more annoying than others). I don't remember this behavior before so I might try to go back to kodi 19.3 to see if it happened in there. Anyways, I guess the main thing is still to figure why the ffmpegdirect inputstream is not working at all... |
@phunkyfish did you had anytime to look further into this one? |
I wonder if trying ffmpeg 5 might yield better results. Let me re-run those PRs and you can try them. It might take a while to get them built. |
You can get the Kodi build here: https://jenkins.kodi.tv/job/BuildMulti-PR/24351/. Just click your platform and download the APK. ffmpegdirect on ffmpeg addon testbuilds are here: https://jenkins.kodi.tv/blue/organizations/jenkins/xbmc%2Finputstream.ffmpegdirect/detail/PR-204/9/artifacts BTW, you need to download them in the next couple of days or the builds will be deleted. All builds will be based on Kodi Nexus. |
Hi, I see there's a kodi an arm build for linux but none for the inputstream addon... Can the android build be used? Probably not... |
We don’t do Linux test builds for addons. You would need to build it yourself. |
Yeah, I see that there are no artifacts for the Linux builds... Note that I said ("As stated, it seems to affect ARM 32bits. It works on x86 and on the 4k firestick (which I actually think is running on 32 bit mode but it is android)"), so the Android build would not help much :) Anyways, is this building directly from master? I might give it a try when I have the time... |
Yes, you can just checkout the PR itself. Kodi: xbmc/xbmc#21248 |
Alright, some more updates on this one... As I moved to use more an android based streaming device (because of this issue), I just realized this is also a problem on Android. The difference is that it only happens sometimes (most of times it actually works) and when it happens, I can (sometimes) recover by fast forwarding the channel (or just stop and start the channel again - which is not great). Another annoying thing I just discovered (I guess my service provider made some changes on the streams) is that some streams have no sound at all and they are encoded with aac_latm. I already tested changing the inputstream to With this, maybe it's worth it for me to try an android build? Can you share again one with ffmpeg5? |
Ffmpegdirect: https://jenkins.kodi.tv/blue/organizations/jenkins/xbmc%2Finputstream.ffmpegdirect/detail/PR-204/11/artifacts kodi: https://jenkins.kodi.tv/job/BuildMulti-PR/24405/ please download them soon as the builds will expire after a few days. |
Arghhh... It seems I missed the builds, sorry. I did not really looked at my emails this weekend :(. I was still able to download the addon zip file but not the main .apk |
No worries. Here are some freak kodi builds: https://jenkins.kodi.tv/job/BuildMulti-PR/24434/ |
Alright, thanks... Already downloaded the apk. I'll try to test things soon enough |
Hi,
After the update to Matrix, the addon stopped working on AAC encoded streams. This only occurs on ARM platforms and affects multiple platforms as libreelec and OSMC. I've been discussing in OSMC support about the problem for the past months (probably year already) without any luck so I'm trying my luck directly in here... Some points on the issue:
I've already also tried to set "Use inputstream.adaptive for m3u8 (HLS) streams" on with no luck. To me this seems to be somehow related with inputstream.ffmpegdirect as I think it's one of the biggest changes (if not the biggest) from Leia to Matrix...
Any idea about the possible issue with this?
