Login successful, but streams not working
Closed this issue · 9 comments
I am able to login and pull the playlist, but unable to play any of the stream using my end devices. I tried VLC, Channels DVR, Safari browser, TVHeadEnd.
Is this approach still working?
Yes, it works without problems, now tested.
Hello, I've just tried playing a stream in VLC, and everything appears to be functioning properly on my side. Are you seeing any errors in the application logs? If you are, could you please share them here?
No errors in the application log, just a confirmation that the end device is accessing the stream, e.g.:
(Info) WebServer - 10.10.10.6 - "GET /api/o2tv/stream?id=1254235&md=188173007 http" 200 - Go-http-client/1.1
This is the log I am getting in Channels DVR:
2024/02/27 12:07:19.500506 [HLS] ffmpeg: ch10054-dANY-ip192.168.0.1-remux: Output file #0 does not contain any stream
2024/02/27 12:07:19.518061 [HLS] Couldn't generate stream playlist for ch10054-dANY-ip192.168.0.1: Stream stopped
2024/02/27 12:07:19.519150 [HLS] Stopping transcoder session ch10054-dANY-ip192.168.0.1
TVHeadend throws similar errors:
2024-02-27 21:11:28.002 mpegts: playlist - Premier Sport 3 HD in O2TV NEW - scan no data, failed
Any ideas?
It's strange that when I attempt to play the identical multi-dimensional stream, it functions as expected for me. Can you delete the application data to see if this resolves the issue and prompts you to log in again?
I tried that, still the same problem. Based on everything I can see, the login is successful, the playlist is generated, but starting the stream does not work well. I am on the prepaid Sport Premium package and it was migrated to O2TV 2.0 today, so I wonder if that's causing some issues on their end. The iOS app was throwing all sorts of login errors earlier today, so maybe the backend is not fully synced yet. I will try again in a few days.

It's possible that your account migration to version 2.0 hasn't fully completed, potentially explaining the streaming issues you're experiencing. Given that both @havran99 and I have no trouble with streaming, it seems unlikely that the code itself is the problem. I'll keep the issue open, and if the problem persists after a few days, please notify me. In that case, I'll continue working to find a solution.
I got it working using VLC, no issues there. It was probably something with the O2 servers.
I am still having issues with TVHeadend and Channels DVR. The MPEG-DASH stream O2TV is outputting is not universally supported. Are you using the stream for Kodi or some other player with better support? I tried different FFMPEG remux approaches for TVHeadend, but it's not working.
I am using only VLC for testing since it's working for me always but I'm not sure about other applications.
It took some tweaking, but it's possible to get the stream into TVHeadend using pipe. Here is the solution if anyone comes across the same issue:
pipe:///usr/bin/env streamlink --locale cs_CZ dash://http://ip:3999/api/o2tv/stream?id=1254963 best --stdout --ffmpeg-fout "mpegts"
