    LiveTV stutters/flickers on LiveTV channels in Full HD. See picture and logs. Any idea?

    Plus sound squeezed

    The stream is transcoding, but the original codecs should be pretty compatible with most devices. Does the stream look like this when you play it directly? Are you forcing transcoding? Sometimes streams that are corrupt will play fine (most players have some level of error correction) but will fail when re-encoded.

    Regardless, it looks like there is corruption in the stream.

    Ok with or without transcoding no big difference. Same issue. I have a Ugreen 4800dxp plus Nas where Jellyfin is running on which is connected to a Fritzbox Cable 6660 with 4 DVB-C tuners. Interesting, using the Fritz TV app, the stream runs perfectly fine. Only on Jellyfin plus btw also when using Plex the issue is there.

    Can I provide any additional log to be analysed? I provided initially the server logs when I was reproducing the problem. Thanks

    I mean, the problem appears to be with the stream. Why it happens just in Jellyfin I don't know. I'm not familiar with the particulars of your setup. Something with the tuner? Tuner settings? IDK.

    Thanks Well, when using the Fritz TV App to stream the same channel I have no issues. Only on the above mentioned NAS hosted Jellyfin and Plex I have the problem. The NAS is directly via lan connected to the Fritzbox having the DVBC Tuner and the Fritzbox is connected to the mesh master Fritzbox providing the internet

    I am not aware of any logs that would tell us WHY some channels have issues while others don't. The logs would only tell us of the presence of corrupt packets, which we already saw with the logs you've provided already.

    Unfortunately, I'm not familiar enough with the specifics of Fritz boxes and related devices/apps to provided further guidance.
