<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Basically, I am trying to use mythbackend as a PVR for a paid IPTV
service, but the back end fails to stream any data from the URL.<br><br></div>I used mythtv-setup to create an IPTV capture card using an m3u file with the following format:<br><br><code>#EXTM3U<br>#EXTINF:-1,300 - ANIMAL PLANET HD<br>#EXTMYTHTV:xmltvid=57394<br><a href="http://2.welcm.tv:8000/live/xxx@xyz.com/xxxpasswordxxx/5010.ts">http://2.welcm.tv:8000/live/xxx@xyz.com/xxxpasswordxxx/5010.ts</a><br><br></code></div><br></div><div>I successfully added the channels and program data and can see the channels and program data on my Kodi front end as well as in Mythweb.<br><br></div><div>However, when I go to watch a channel live or record a program, I am not getting any data streaming into the buffers. I set the timeout for the card to 60000 ms, but it appears to only attempt the connection for a few seconds at most. I can open the URLs just fine in VLC and the video starts to play in just a few seconds.<br><br>Here is a snippet from the back end log using --setverbose channel,record and --setloglevel debug:<br><br><dl class=""><dd><code>2016-06-13 18:25:08.621845 I [5221/5743] StreamHandler

Is there a way to get more debugging into to determine why the stream isn't opening?<br><br>Any ideas are appreciated.<br><br>Thanks,</p><p>Dave<br></p> </div></div>
