To have any idea about how to help, we would need to know much more
about your setup.  If it is using a .m3u file, then scanning is just
reading that file and creating the channels from it, so it does not do
any network connections to do that.  So scanning working does not mean
much in that case.  To see if redirection is happening, you can run
wireshark on your network connection and see what traffic happens when
you try to record.  If the URLs are HTTPS though, you can not see the
contents of the packets.  You will still see if it redirects to a
different IP address.
