I have found a pipe line (pipe:///usr/bin/ffmpeg -loglevel fatal -i http:///www.mym3u.com -vcodec copy -acodec copy -metadata service_provider=STRING -metadata service_name=STRING -f mpegts -tune zerolatency pipe:1) that works fair with my system. (Tvheadend 4.3-1733~g7d3aa11) Is there a way to make this pipe work by incorporating it into the stream or codec profile to play all the streams instead of adding it to every mux?

Add playlist to IPTV automatic network

I think that I did not explain this clearly. My playlist is a m3u file and I edited a couple of the muxes within the file, not the iptv url with the pipe. The url has over 22,000 muxes and I edited a lot of them out. When I loaded the m3u file in the automatic network, my path was like this: file:///home/hts/m3u/mym3u.m3u. It loads fine but it is not a pipe to ffmpeg.

Could I put the pipe in the automatic network like this: (pipe:///usr/bin/ffmpeg -loglevel fatal -i file:///home/hts/m3u/mym3u.m3u -vcodec copy -acodec copy -metadata service_provider=STRING -metadata service_name=STRING -f mpegts -tune zerolatency pipe:1) ? Will all of the muxes play through ffmpeg so I do not have to edit my m3u file and add the pipe string individually?

Explain please, why you need to pipe them?
The command you use just remux stream.

Thank you for the response saen acro. I have been having constant buffering and freezing issues within Kodi with iptv and tuner card. I have a Dell mini i3 with 4g memory that I use as the server running 18.04 ubuntu. My clients are the raspberry pie and Firetv. When the buffering occurs within Kodi, the log indicates AAC-LATM, DTS discontinuity errors. I tried changing many different settings within kodi and tvheadends codec and stream profiles. Nothing I tried corrected the problem. I read about pipe and the success that others were having with correcting the buffering. I tried multiple strings I found online and the one that I had posted seems to work fairly well. Currently, the buffering comes about every 2 hours now and video freezes are minimal. Prior, buffering was continuous and tvheadend would crash. I had to reset the server to get back in.

I hope this explains why I decided to pipe. I am a beginner and I can use some pointers if you can direct me with a solution. I am out of ideas.

Thanks
