IPTV noob issue adding service

Added by john adams almost 4 years ago

I have used TVHeadend in the past years ago, with OTA and it was bulletproof, but this time I'm trying use it for a paid IPTV service. I tried with a free public service and had the same issue and was hoping it was just because it was unstable.
I am running TVHeadend on Ubuntu 18.04 server in a VM. When I add my URL for my M3U (I also tried a downloaded M3U) the web interface is no longer able to be reached and the CPU usage for the VM spikes (looks like it maxes a single core) and will stay that way. I've left it for 2 days then finally stopped it. I SSHed in, purged TVHeadend, re-installed via APT and installed again and it works fine. Add the IPTV service again and same thing. I've tried this a few times now. Does anyone have experience with this? Is it normal to take this long? The ESXI host is a e5-2620 v3 and 4 cores and 4GB of Ram is allotted for the VM. The IPTV service I've subscribed to has 16000 channels which once I can, I am going to remove 90% of them and maybe this won't give me so many problems.
Thanks to anyone who has ideas on how to fix this.

Not had this experience myself, but 16k IPTV is going to take a long time to scan...

Suggest when you create [or edit] the network in Configuration/DVB Inputs/Networks, you make sure "Scan after creation"
and "Idle scan muxes" are unset.

Then you should be able to select some channels you want under Configuration/DVB Inputs/Muxes and scan them. Don't try too many at once.
