PES packet size mismatch error (ffmpeg)

[bigalow]

Hey all-

I'm trying to grab a stream using ffmpeg (.m3u8) and I'm running into an issue where randomly I get the error '[mpegts @ 0x16937a0] PES packet size mismatch.' I have googled and tried numerous things to resolve the problem but ultimately this error results in drops in the final output file making the output file annoyingly unwatchable.

sample command being used:
ffmpeg -i https://streamingserver.com/vod/path...okjdfakjdhfadf -c copy outputfile.ts

sample output:


I'm really not sure if the issue is due to something on the streaming server or if it is a result of something to do with the output file. Is anyone here able to help put me on the proper track to getting a good clean pull? Any/all suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

it seems I can pull from the same location using liverstreamer but I continue to have issues using ffmpeg. I dont suppose that clues anyone into what the issue could be or how to avoid it when using ffmpeg?

Not able to download your m3u8 location at all. But I have seen this error before. Older/newer version of ffmpeg sometimes fixes it. Sometimes faster connection helps.

My mistake, that was just a sample command and the link wasn't the actual link to the m3u8 I'm trying to pull. Have a 100 MB/s connection on the box I'm using. A different version of ffmpeg seems to have resolved the issue. Thanks for the feedback!
