Description

I use a m3u playlist with TVH streams to watch TV on some Kodi devices. I use a m3u file, so I do not have to enable the complete LiveTV functionality in Kodi.

When I open an item from this m3u file, e.g.
#EXTINF:-1,4 - RTL 4
http://192.168.1.97:9981/stream/channelid/693426109?ticket=60CEC06F628CE5D8E5BC9B1E91173F46DBA2C251&profile=pass

It takes a long time to open the stream, after about 4 seconds it does open and plays fine. In the TVH log I can see that it tries to open the stream multiple times and closes all but one.
When I load this .m3u file in VLC and start the same channel it starts within a second and I can see in the TVH log that it only subscribes once. When I open this stream from the LiveTV section in Kodi (on the same Kodi installation) the stream starts immediately with only one subscription.

I filed this issue in the Kodi forum, see
http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=231271

There it was pointed out that the stream that starts is broken and is missing metadata (e.g. resolution info). Therefore I am posting the issue here.

Debug logs from both TVHeadend and Kodi are attached.
