That could be a permissions problem with the /root/list.m3u file.
MythTV runs as mythtv user and mythtv group normally, and does not
have access to /root.  I put my .m3u file in /var/www (I think that
needs to be /var/www/html on 16.04 systems), and downloaded it from
the Apache web server:

  http://localhost/list.m3u

That way, if Apache is available to other boxes on your network, they
can all download the same file from there to access the streaming
channels.
