That's what I thought..

If the URL on the playlist you give to the encoder contains a link to
a MPEG http download (not HLS), it will use the IPTV recorder.
If that URL points to a HTTP Live Streaming, it will use the HLS recorder.

Myth download the first kilobyte to determine the type of content. If
it's not HLS, then it assumes it's IPTV.
