Tvheadend and iptv tokens

Hi all,

Currently trying to set up my local FTA channels with TVHeadend and struggling to get these to work at all.

I have a feeling the streams themselves request a token each time they are playing and TVHeadend does not seem to recognise this when scanning the channel. I am just getting the following error and cannot subscribe.

httpc: Invalid url 'K301800.key'

Am I missing something or is this not possible at the moment?

An example of one of the links.

Any idea?

Thanks

AIUI, HLS streams are not supported for IPTV. You need MPEG-TS streams for IPTV.

Thank you.

Can node-ffmpeg-mpegts-proxy be used to overcome this or is there no workaround at the moment?

I believe you can use the pipe:// protocol with ffmpeg for HLS streams. There shouldn't be any problem as long as you can normally consume the stream with ffmpeg, just be sure to set your format specifier as -f mpegts.
