Unfortunately, the logs do not show anything more that is helpful -
just that it attempts to connect, then fails rapidly (in less than a
second):

TVRecEvent channelutil.cpp:1976 (GetIPTVTuningData) Loaded
[data]https://watch.cbc.ca/live/channel/windsor[fectype][fec0][fec1]
for 7009
TVRecEvent recorders/dtvchannel.cpp:275 (SetChannelByString)
DTVChan[11](::-1): SetChannelByString(9): Tuning to IPTV URL
TVRecEvent tv_rec.cpp:3763 (TuningFrequency) TVRec[11]: Failed to set
channel to 9. Reverting to kState_None

Probably the next thing to do is to check the initial HTTPS connection
to watch.cbc.ca - use Wireshark to capture the data from your Ethernet
port using a capture filter of:

port https

But after the initial connection, everything will be encrypted, and to
see any more, I think we would need to either put some debug code into
mythbackend, or install an HTTPS proxy on the backend box and get
Linux to redirect all HTTPS connections through the proxy, so we can
see what is in the encrypted traffic to find out what is actually
happening.  But since I have never actually used an HTTPS proxy, I
would have to do some testing to see how it works.  I think this may
do the job:
