Tvheadend

Hello,

I am taking a feed from a remote HDHomerun and transcoding it using FFMPEG and trying to read that stream into TVH. I've seen a lot of threads on similar situations and tried all solutions. I'm obviously missing something silly. Take my simplest case (i'm running FFMPEG on xTeVe)

FFMPEG running with: -hide_banner -loglevel error -i [URL] -c copy -f mpegts pipe:1

So i'm just passing the stream through without any transcoding.

#1. TVH pointing to the URL directly http://XXX:34400/stream/XXXXX - No stream detected

#2. TVH pointing to a piped FFMPEG pipe:///config/iptv/ffmpeg-loop.sh http://XXX:34400/stream/XXX - No stream detected

ffmpeg-loop.sh just has a loop to detect a failed stream and restart - here is the FFMPEG command inside.

/usr/bin/ffmpeg -loglevel info -i "$2" -vcodec copy -acodec copy -f mpegts pipe:1

if I tick "EIT - skip TSID check" then the #2. above works. I'm not sure why though?

Can someone assist with some suggestions. Is there something obvious I am doing wrong? I couldn't find much documentation on the "EIT - skip TSID check" and what that really means

Here are the FFPROBE details for the streams
