IPTV channels won't play
Added by Chris Koster over 7 years ago
Hi Guys,
I'm having trouble watching IPTV channels through Tvheadend. I have five DVB-C tuners so I cleaned the log to only see the IPTV log entries.
What I did:
1. Added new automtic IPTV network. With url of m3u file. The file is a playlist of .ts (MPEG-TS) url which you see regularly on this forum. Max input is set to 1 and service ID als so set to 1.
2. Alle muxes are immediatly found and services are also there. When I look at the servive the correct .ts url is shown
3. I mapped alle services to channels
4. I try to play channel (in kodi, vlc and built-in webplayer). All refuse to play, see log for more info:

Do your streams play fine in VLC and ffplay? What does ffprobe say about the streams, or VLC?
RE: IPTV channels won't play - Added by Robert Cameron over 7 years ago
Also, makes sure your IPTV network is set to only allow 1 simultaneous stream. According to Necrotv's site, attempting to open more than 1 stream will block your IP.

I know, i mentioned it in the first post that max input limit is 1. I also double checked no stream is still running in vlc or other device.

Ok this is awkward :p all streams play fine now in TVH. Haven't changed a thing since posting... weird but the streams are playing fine through TVH now. Thanks for your time and help.
