Apologies for top quote. <br><br>I captured this video with the iptv recorder in myth. This channel plays fine on the vendor supplied stb and in mplayer. I understand your point that it may not be a fully conformant stream, but nothing I can do short of becoming a billionaire and buying transact would fix it, and given other apps play it without issue, including a Linux app that shares some code roots with myth, I was hoping it could be fixed in myth. <br>
