Access to settings to change live buffer

[julioplz]

Hi again. I'm trying to find any setting to change live buffer to 60 seconds but I don't know how to access this settings on a remote server. Can anyone help, please? Thank you in advance.

Hi, you can try it like this:

environment: - EXTRA_FLAGS=--live-buffer 60

Regards.

live-buffer 60 not exist here: https://docs.acestream.net/developers/engine-command-line-options/

I too want know how I can enable buffering, I see in doc this line: --use-internal-buffering But when I add this line: environment:

• EXTRA_FLAGS=--use-internal-buffering true or
• EXTRA_FLAGS='--use-internal-buffering true'

Not working for me and the container stopped

You can only use these specifics args :

 docker exec -it acestream-acestream2-3 /opt/acestream/acestreamengine

--use-internal-buffering is not available in the binary used by this project (version:3.1.75rc4 revision:d7429ec), hence why the args parser goes haywire and the app crash when passing this argument (it doesn't exist).

I've found more docs here : https://wiki.acestream.media/AceStream_3.0/en

EDIT : Ok, no it definitely seems nothing added as $EXTRA_FLAGS works, even existing flags.

You should not use ' mark with EXTRA_FLAGS. Below config works for me

services:
  acestreamengine:
    image: ghcr.io/martinbjeldbak/acestream-http-proxy:2.3.0
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - '6878:6878'
    environment:

      - EXTRA_FLAGS=--live-cache-type memory

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to set the live buffer to 60 seconds, but I haven’t found how to do it yet. Has anyone managed to configure this? I’d really appreciate any tips or guidance.
