Comment (by mg3242):

 @kasper93, can you give me the correct parameters so i can run it again
 and we can see more?

 @balling, very interesting that this is known since years. but keep in
 mind you can run mpegts longer than 26.5 hours if you just add the flag
 -sn to it, this removes services as teletext, teletext subs and dvb-subs.
 this way it can run for days without breaking. as i am depending on these
 services like teletext, subs and dvb-subs, i cant have a unreliable live
 stream restarting 26.5 hours after starting.

 anything else i can provide to have a better clue what is causes this
 exactly? i am very determined to help solve this.

 also my offer still stands, i can make the stream available to any
 developer which is interested to have a deeper look into this.

 thank you in advance!
