Live TV stream randomly stops after ~30 seconds on Android TV (HLS, direct remux) - sbarmen - 2025-04-20
I am going crazy over this issue, and I feel I have tried all in my power. Reaching out to the forum to see if there are someone that could point me in the right direction on my troubleshooting. I am watching live TV from self-hosted PVR solution and publishing it with m3u. It all works perfect on all devices, except Android TV client. I even tried to sideload the stock android client on my TV but the UI is unusable with a remote.
I made a git issue for the same with logs etc. https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-androidtv/issues/4603
Anyone that could suggest some moves in my tinkering to find a workaround? Craziest thing is that when I try to use external player I just get a blank screen - but on my local mp4 libary that works just fine - external player pops up. I am really stuck here. If I open the stream directly from VLC it works also just fine.
Any pointers from anyone?

Just found out that I can successfully cast the channel from my Android phone to the Android TV with the jellyfin app. That's a working workaround for now I guess.
