I have been following this thread and have seen a similar issue with
some of the m3u8 entries in the m3u file.

I have a total of 8 entries in the m3u file. Of those 5 work, though a
couple of these will fail on occasion. I cannot get the other 3 to lock
at all. I have set the tuning time-out to the maximum of 65000 seconds,
but the result is unchanged. All 8 entries will stream when using vlc.

Here is the m3u file I am using.

----------------------------

The problem entries are the last 3 (The CW, Fox and WPBT). The most
reliable is TCM. CBS does not always get a lock in MythTV.

I am not really seeing anything in the mythbackend.log, though I am
showing the default log messages.

Any suggestions as to how to resolve these 3 stations so Mythtv can
record from them?

Alternatively, is there any guidance on using vlc to capture the streams
and store the recordings in the proper directory. I have seen some
information on this, but have not yet gotten my mind around how to
actually do this in practice.

Thanks for any assistance that can be provided.

John
