IPTV sees channels, but won't stream - noraatac0 - 2024-04-15

I am trying to move my iptv service from nextpvr to jellyfin. My nextpvr server has worse specs than the container I have set up for jellyfin. I have installed the Jellyfin Xtream (0.6.1.0) plugin to use my iptv. I can see all of the channels, but I cannot load any channel, it either sticks to a loading screen, or tells me This client isn't compatible with the media and the server isn't sending a compatible media format. This is a privileged container running under proxmox with the following resources:

arch: amd64
cores: 6
features: mount=cifs,nesting=1
hostname: jellyfin
memory: 17166
nameserver: 8.8.4.4
net0: name=eth0,bridge=vmbr0,hwaddr=5E:EF:64:40:B0:CA,ip=dhcp,ip6=dhcp,type=veth
ostype: ubuntu
rootfs: local-lvm:vm-102-disk-0,size=100G
searchdomain: 8.8.8.8
swap: 5120

Server: Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS

Jellyfin Version: 10.8.13

ffmpeg version N-114833-g5e380bcdb1

Here are the logs: 
Jellyfin: https://paste.ryan0n.com/mvfmj.yaml
ffmpeg: https://paste.ryan0n.com/ueygj.js


My best guess is that there is something going on with the transcoding process going off of the logs. My first thought was that I didn't have the non-free codecs, but I installed those, and still the same issue. I also double checked that I have good enough bandwidth from the server to my pc, and I am getting close to GB speeds. I've played with hardware acceleration with intel quicksync, but I'm dumb when it comes to transcoding things, so I haven't had any luck with that. I'm pretty sure I've done a good amount more, but I'm failing to remember it at the moment as I've been troubleshooting this for hours.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I was able to pull the logs from nextpvr, and I found something interesting. The issue seems to come down to this one line, that's happening over and over again when I try to access nextpvr from jellyfin.

Unexpected error streaming recording: System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The given key 'sid' was not present in the dictionary.
at NShared.Streaming.StreamingHelper.StreamNativeRecording(ServiceResponseStream responseStream, Dictionary`2 parameters)

I've done a little bit of scripting with apis, and to my understanding this is a bug? I could be totally wrong though. At this point, this is above my head.

Your post is a bit confusing since the first post is about moving away from NextPVR and the second post is from NextPVR. Perhaps you still have NextPVR recordings in your database?

Note in investigating what was needed to upgrade to 10.9 it was noted that that is an issue with NextPVR's handling of streams when no security is required. It is working with patched build for 10.9 and will be fixed in a future update to NextPVR.

It is very important to report NextPVR issues on the NextPVR forum.
