Hi John

Thanks for all of the assistance. I've now tested the extern support with
both VLC and youtube-dl and "almost" everything is working.

With some of the streams vlc gets a bit confused as the IPTV stream rate
adapts, and I loose audio. youtube-dl appears to be a lot more reliable at
this stage.

The one remaining issue is mapping a xmltv EPV source onto the external
tuners, which I'll kick off in a new thread.
