Comment (by primijos@…):

 Just to add some more info: I'm not quite sure this is only an internal
 player issue. Since IPTV is not working for me, and I'm now using 0.28
 (devel), I've doing some experiments with the new "External Recorder" in
 order to feed IPTV streams to mythtv:

 My first test was using udpxy to get the IPTV streams by using a ruby
 script as External Recorder. Myth was able to save the stream and playback
 was OK.

 Please note that this has been just a single/simple test (less than a
 minute long video), and I've not tested LiveTV, just scheduled recording.

 So, as mythtv is able to play the stream OK when feed as a simple TS
 through udpxy, I'm wondering whether this issue is a BE/Internal player
 combination. I mean: perhaps the BE, when extracting the TS from the
 RTP/UDP/Whatever packets, generates a not-so-beautiful-for-the-internal-
 player stream that, who knows why, VLC/mplayer can, some how, play?

 In order to try this without External Recorder support, the best option
 would probably be just record an IPTV stream to file using vlc, udpxrec,
 mplayer, etc. and copy it over one of the mythtv recordings, to try to
 play it (or use mythavtest? I'm not sure about that, I believe that some
 tests I did at some point showed up mythavtest being able to play stream /
 stream types that the internal player wasn't able to play [raw (no HLS)
 hhttp streams?])

 Just an idea.

 Best,
 Jose
