Okay.

You probably already answered this far above, but is the result of
`curl --silent $URL`
already a transport stream? If so, you could just use that directly:

[RECORDER]
curl --silent $URL

Then comment out everything in the [TUNER] section.

I might have more ideas after seeing the mythexterrecorder log file.
