[Dev] Previewing Streams does not work

[ballermc]

Describe the bug

When I go to preview a stream from my provider in the channels tab on m3u-editor, it just infinitely loads.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to any channel
2. Click on the eyes
3. Now you'll see it infinitely loads, nothing happens

Expected behavior

Being able to preview streams

Actual behavior

Infinitely loading

Additional context

I am on the dev branch, hence the prefix in the title of the issue.

just using Video.js to play, so guessing your browser is being blocked

any errors or outout in the browser console? I'm not able to reproduce this on my end, the I've tested multiple streams and it's working with my provider anyway.

[sparkison]

also, does the Stream Info work? If you expand that tab, does it load?

[ballermc]

Yes Stream Info works.

[sparkison]

also, out of curiosity, I've noticed some streams are more spotty than others. What happens if you close and re-open the tab on the channel that doesn't play? And also get back to me on the console errors, if you see anything there...

judging by the console errors I missed (oops), I do not think that works haha

[ballermc]

While also trying to fix this, I ran into another bug which I will report (its regarding how you handle mediaflow-proxy link generation haha)

[sparkison]

possible fix on dev 🤷 just changed the <video> tags to <video-js> to prevent the browser from attempting to load, which might have been the cause, based on what I was seeing. Let me know if it changes anything!

[ballermc]

Still does not work, same errors as above

Any updates?

[sparkison]

nope! Nothing yet unfortunately

My streams dont play because videojs doesnt support mpegts.

I have been messing around with the mpegts plugin for videojs, but nothing working as of yet.

[sparkison]

I've added an MP4 conversion route to the proxy to allow re-streaming URLs as MP4's, which seems to work well 😉

let me know how it works for you!!

[sparkison]

NOTE!! This is only on dev and experimental currently

[ballermc]

Yes this works! Thank you!

My stream previews do not work either. I am using QSV H.265

[sparkison]

are you on the dev branch? This is not fixed on the release branch just yet, but should roll out soon

[sparkison]

hey all, got another update to the previewing in the latest dev if you wanna give it another go

[susnick]

edit: im retarded i just went and looked atthe docker hub tags :)
Is the docker image tagged as dev? Or how do i go about getting the image without building myself?

[susnick]

preview works for me. Searching causes 500 error

[sparkison]

search was recently fixed, so that should be resolved now

sounds like you got it, but just in case, you change: image: sparkison/m3u-editor:latest to image: sparkison/m3u-editor:dev in your docker compose 😉

If you’re having trouble previewing streams, MusConvtool can still help by exporting and transferring your playlists to another service where playback works more reliably. That way, you don’t lose access to your music collection, even if previews aren’t functioning on the current platform.
