@reboot /home/reboot.sh
0 5 * * * /opt/mpdplayer/bin/restartService.sh

Reboot SERVER to test if it comes up automatically.

USEFUL COMMANDS:
systemctl start mpdplayer
systemctl stop mpdplayer
systemctl restart mpdplayer


I's mean every Morning at 5:00am mpdplayer going restart and at restart it will create the ramdisk by launching the script.
You can take more then 50 Streams now because Ramdisk large enough.

Always check htop to see how much cpu is needed. Do not overload.
Remember some channels stuck but reason seems always source because always same channel stuck. No solution for rebooting specific channel so far.

Enjoy and not sell solution.

You can now use internal and external HLS
Some channels much more stable with external ffmpeg
Some channels like Spectrum only run well with internal.


If you like to thank you send me DRM Script not already available here.

Don't open it on mobile device, the panel framework is not responsive!

Then you have to find out what you are still missing or what you are make wrong

 

[Delta19]

Add a provider which actually means internal or external ffmpeg

Also check if the link is available with info button. it should show the resolutions.

After that add the keyid and keys for the steam

Are you able to pull info from the channels? That is usually a good sign to see if your server is connecting correctly. Also, could be your script. I can confirm the aboce steps do help with stability for sure.

 

[lasauce29]

in my case i'm not using /opt/mpdplayer/bin/restartService.sh , because after restart all streams are stopped and need to be restarted manually

Check permissions on ramdisk mount, try changing to use tmp folder only and not ramdisk

 

[Borsti92]

If you follow my step by step your tmp/ramdisk should have 777 read/write rights.

Add internal HLS as provider.

some channels need also the VIDEO REPRESENTATION INDEX. Put 4 = 1920x1080 in your case.

IF everything is correct and still not start then
KEYs wrong or expired or region block.

my /tmp/ramdisk have permission 777, and no problem for writing, but if i'll restart all stream appear down =(

 

[padream1970]

the keys must be blocked by country try to use a proxy from that country to see if the channel connects
