[BUG] Every channel stream uses 2 connections

[joazito]

A single stream of a channel uses 2 connections from my provider. This occurs both with direct streams and transcoded streams. I'm using Brave.

It's an Xtream Codes provider, with an https server.

I've installed via docker. I'm using a reverse proxy provided by the OS, Cosmos Cloud.

Same here. My provider only allows 1 connection at the same time and therefor I am unable to use nodecast-tv for a long period.

Same here, it seems i found the solution... Its in VideoPlayer.js

1. On line 856 inside the play(channel, streamUrl) function, add this:

if (this._playAbortController) {
    this._playAbortController.abort();
}
this._playAbortController = new AbortController();
const abortSignal = this._playAbortController.signal;

2. There is 2x const probeRes inside the same play function, change these to:

const probeRes = await fetch(`/api/probe?url=${encodeURIComponent(streamUrl)}`, { signal: abortSignal });

3. In ChannelList.js inside the selectChannel(dataset) function on line 1163 between streamFormat and result add:

window.app?.player?.stop();

There is more to do though ;p its still pretty slow loading channels... and some stuttering

Or not... Just got the multiple connection error again :/
It might be on the service providers end too..

No issues from my side. Its only using 1 connection.
