freeze fix by changing video format from automatic.


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

So my neighbour was having video issue with freezing on live TV (*****). This is only happening on certain TV brands, one being Sony the other LG both smart.  All of his other neighbour with different brand are fine.

We tried switching video format in configuration from Automatic to TS and it works well now. Question is should I tell him to run HLS or TS. I am wondering if it's certain TV's don't work well with the Automatic feature?

Stream format has nothing to do with the brand of TV you're using

So what would cause one user to freeze but not the other? Changing from automatic to the one seemed to fix it. I actually told them to switch to HLS now.

 

Thanks for edit.

Changing stream format would change the type of stream the server sends

so yes HLS may be freezing but TS isn't
And auto by default uses HLS first, but if a server doesn't have HLS it will automatically use the next available format

 

In your first post you said that freezing happened on different TV brands, which doesn't make sense. As a TV brand has nothing to do with channels freezing

You can also increase buffer size in configuration settings. See if that helps 

mine is set to default and I don't freezing
