IPTV Stream Metadata Issues

Added by Stuart Esgate about 9 years ago

When I setup IPTV stream and it works fine if I use the code in the URL field below

pipe:///usr/bin/ffmpeg -loglevel fatal -i http://btvuk-i.akamaihd.net/hls/live/203321/btvuk_ios/P1/M18K.m3u8 -acodec copy -vcodec copy -metadata service_provider=Bloomberg -metadata service_name=BloombergTVUK -f mpegts pipe:1

but it doesn't work if I enter

pipe:///usr/bin/ffmpeg -loglevel fatal -i http://btvuk-i.akamaihd.net/hls/live/203321/btvuk_ios/P1/M18K.m3u8 -acodec copy -vcodec copy -metadata service_provider="Bloomberg" -metadata service_name="Bloomberg TV UK" -f mpegts pipe:1

How do I get spaces into the metadata field or is it not possible?

Thanks

I found this metadata doesn't save or being forward to the client (even if you record with pass profile).
If you want spaces, try to add backslash before every space, it should work.

Thanks Ben as you said

pipe:///usr/bin/ffmpeg -loglevel fatal -i http://btvuk-i.akamaihd.net/hls/live/203321/btvuk_ios/P1/M18K.m3u8 -acodec copy -vcodec copy -metadata service_provider=Bloomberg -metadata service_name=Bloomberg\ TV\ UK -f mpegts pipe:1

works fine. :)
