Yes, I also saw that table but the URL column is empty:
>>mysql> select * from iptv_channel where chanid = '2010';
>>+--------+--------+-----+------+---------+
>>| iptvid | chanid | url | type | bitrate |
>>+--------+--------+-----+------+---------+
>>| 10 | 2010 | | data | 0 |
>>+--------+--------+-----+------+---------+
So looks like mythtv is not filling that column when scanning for
channels in that IPTV tuner.
For the record, my channels.m3u looks like this:
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:0,001 - La 1
rtp://239.0.0.76:8208
#EXTINF:0,002 - La 2
rtp://239.0.0.2:8208
[...lot of lines with same patterns removed here...]
#EXTINF:0,010 - FOX
rtp://239.0.0.74:8208
I've also tried to fill the "url" column in the iptv_channel table
with the value "rtp://239.0.0.74:8208", and that
makes the tuner working (it can tune/record data). The problem is that
the data recorded seems corrupted.
Actually, this ticket (http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/11852)
describe more or less what happens when I manually
set the "url" column in the iptv_channel table.
Doing a search for "iptv_channel" on the Mythtv Trac doesn't show up
any issue regarding iptv_channel.url not being
updated, so I'm a little bit lost about that point.
Best,
Jose
