I just tried to make a custom channel for home use and got this from the Debug panel:

ButtonPressed
showHomeScreen | msg = Stream started. | index = 3
Unexpected event type: 20
showHomeScreen | msg = An unexpected problem (but not server timeout or HTTP error) has been detected. | index = -3
Video request failure: -3 0
showHomeScreen | msg = | index = 0
Screen closed
Button pressed: 2 0
Screen closed
list item updated | new show = 0
showPosterScreen | msg = | index = 0
showPosterScreen | msg = | index = 0
Note: GC - Found 13 orphaned objects (objects in a circular ref loop).

I thought it might be related to the way I encoded the video. The video is a news stream online that I saved using VLC Player. This is the Code information that VLC gives me when I play the video:

Stream 0
Type: Audio
Codec: MPEG Audio Layer 1/2/3 (mpga)
Language: Francais
Channels: Stereo
Sample rate: 44100 Hz
Bitrate: 128 kb/s

Stream 1
Type: Video
Codex: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (avc1)
Language: Francais
Resolution: 640x360
Frame rate: 24.991397
Decoded format: Planar 4:2:0 YUV

The Input bitrate from VLC says it's 1245 kb/s
content bitrate is 1062 kb/s

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thank you!!

What firmware is you device running? Firmware 3.x devices won't play video with mp3 audio tracks, only AAC audio.

Thanks RokuJoel!

That was the problem. I tested by playing some MP4 files from YouTube and they were working so I reconverted my captured stream. Works perfectly now! Thank you for the tip!
