segment not found in buffer, skipped

[WARN] segment #72 not found in buffer, skipped
Sometimes happen when the model is online. The output video also lose the frame because of that.

This issue is due to network instability, not a bug in the program. Unfortunately, it's not something that can be fixed 🥲

[leohkz]

But if I use Downie(Mac) to download the stream, it will be no problem at all.

Which country you live and do you use a VPN?

Which country you live and do you use a VPN?

The project runs in Nas.I don't want to disclose my area, but I'm sure there are no restrictions. I didn't use VPN.

Ah, reasonable. Just- every time people report this issue, it's usually from countries with slow networks, which explains why.

About how the program works, I explained it in #65

As each "segment" has a time limit. Once it expires, it cannot be retrieved again.
Your issue is that the program is unable to obtain the segment before it expires, so it has to give up trying.

I don't have a clue about why it happened with Chaturbate-DVR but not the other software currently.

[YamiOdymel]

Another question, does it occur in every stream/channel you trying to fetched with Chaturbate-DVR?

I use 1000Mbps broadband. So I don't have internet speed and restrictions problem.

Happens in almost every stream.
There is another problem that others have mentioned.This warning will also appear when the channel is offline.

Thank you very much for the great software. But...
I have this problem too. (1.0.5 and 1.0.6).
It leads to the .ts file becoming corrupted. I constantly have 4-second segments repeating 2-4 times.
The internet speed is fast. I set the quality to 480p. For some reason, the problem is not present on all streams.
We need to somehow solve this problem and the problem of corrupted TS files.

[YamiOdymel]

It's very hard to solve a problem that I can't reproduce/test with my internet 🫠

[squadjot]

I get this aswell:

segment #1179 not found in buffer, skipped

Resulting in choppy video. I have good computer/net specs.

[Petyay]

If anyone is interested, partially correcting errors in .ts is possible with the help of tsMuxer (GUI)

In general, I suffered with skips and with damaged .ts files...
2 months of receiving damaged video files =(

In the end, I decided to write similar software myself. I wrote it in an evening. And, lo and behold! No skips or damaged TS files occur via FFMPEG.
The author clearly chose not the best solution for downloading the stream, since the video is damaged.

But thanks to the author for the idea of ​​the interface and the idea of ​​the functionality.

[YamiOdymel]

@Petyay That's interesting news. I'm still unclear about what went wrong. 😭

Is there any chance we could use the software you wrote?

[Petyay]

I developed a non-public version. That's why there are many bindings with my computer's software, an ugly interface, etc.
