There have been not been glitches since yesterday. At this point I doubt it is by chance. I don't know which command from the first script helped. I should try one by one to find out but that's fine with me as long as it works.

You saved me from a lot of headaches!

Thank you very much for your help!

I ran this script and it's been more than 1 hour since I don't see any glitch. I'll do more tests to make sure it's not a placebo.

Thank you very much for the provided script! I'll keep you posted

This is an extra second added on top of the "base" open time:

200ms * 7 hops = 1400ms base delay

200ms * 7 hops = 1400ms extra delay

If I increase the timeout to 400ms, then the extra 1400ms are added to the base 1400ms. 2800ms in total. This is a minimum value. In practice the delay can be bigger, especially for customers in Canada.

With a 200ms timeout, the open time is max 3 seconds even in Canada.

3 or more seconds is not acceptable for our customers.

Thank you for providing this info.

VU+ Zero works excellently even with a 100ms timeout. However I don't like this STB because the ethernet port burns quite fast even with low voltage surges.

Does OpenPLi have a network buffer parameter that can be adjusted?

I am not doing any illegal activity. My company has signed an agreement with local Bulgarian and Macedonian TV stations to bring their signal to Bulgarian and Macedonian speakers in Germany and Canada.
