Yes I realise that the unmodified 0.26 didn't call the external channel
changer, but it did still tune the video, 0.27 doesn't.
Have you tested iptv with an external changer script specified?
Surely this must be a bug; how can the intended behaviour be that an
external changer command is 'supported' but also breaks iptv and is
unusable?
I'm not asking this to be a nuisance, my own system is working with
system events now. I just think for the sake of other users, the backend
should either: connect to the video, or, log that it isn't connecting to
the video because an external tuner is specified.
