Tvheadend

tvheadedn build:4.2.6
OS freebsd 11.2
Hardware, installed on esxi 5.5 vm

Hello,

I am a new user and not good at linux command line, just the basics, it took a while to overcome one simple issue as to why tv_grab_file script didn't run on freebsd, had to change first line "#!/usr/local/bin/bash" and make it executable.

Problem: I am paying for monthly service that provides m3u files with urls that include username and password so no encryption there at least I think so.
I can play url streams from vlc no problem on pc, they pause but reconnect very quick, but if i play through tvheadend using vlc or kodi they freeze.

Questions:
What tests to perform and what logs to supply?
What do i need to do in tvheadend to make it reconnect if stream freezes?
Is it possible to buffer for longer the stream to make it work, i have no problems waiting longer for channels switch.
Is it possible for recording function to check if stream is ok and restart it, just to make sure program downloads fine.
How to disable unnecessary tasks that tvheadend performs with getting demux packets and ca verification on iptv streams.

Let me know if i am putting too much in single thread.

THank you in advance
