Xteve with buffer enabled wont work in tvheadend (requesting content type = text/html)

Hi,
Im using xteve to feed iptv into tvh. I do this as I share my iptv with family. tvheadend will work if i use the iptv supplied m3u directly, it will also work in xteve if buffer is disabled in xteve.
If I enabled buffer in xteve (so i can control number of concurrent connections) tvheadend no longer works. even though the m3u supplied my xteve works in e.g. vlc.

I get the error no input detected in tvheadend.

Afaik the buffer mode in xteve is just a restream of the orginal stream.

The Xteve log shows that tvheadend is requesting content type = text/html; charset=UTF-8
but when i use vlc it requests content type = video/mp2t

Anyone got any ideas?

I'm also trying that same kind of setup and experience the same problems. The errror message in TVHeadend WebUI is "timeout waiting for packets".

I've been wiresharking the difference between what xteve does in buffer mode vs direct mode.

directmode creates 1 request and has 1 constant stream returned
buffer mode creates 1 request and the response is a continuation of new return connections (im assuming with the set amount of buffered media defined in xteve e.g. 1mb for me)
so buffer is sending e.g. 1mb streams back 1 after another vs direct where its just 1 long stream
