Description

In order to cope the undigested format of some m3u file of some sources I would use, I've created a script that outputs the proper m3u list. It looks that the "pipe://" method is not supported in field URL of IPTV networks:

ott 29 14:30:36 sauron tvheadend[20137]: httpc: 004B: Unknown scheme 'pipe'
ott 29 14:30:37 sauron tvheadend[20137]: httpc: 004B: Unable to connect to :-22 - Nome o servizio sconosciuto
ott 29 14:30:37 sauron tvheadend[20137]: iptv: unable to open http client

To complete the request: it looks that a pipe:// url is also not accepted in a (static) m3u inserted in an auto IPTV network URL.

For example, using an m3u file like this:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1  tvg-id="0003" tvg-name="Name 1" group-title="Test",Name 1
pipe://ffmpeg -i http://........................ -vcodec copy -acodec copy -metadata service_provider=Provider -metadata service_name=Service -f mpegts -tune zerolatency pipe:1
#EXTINF:-1  tvg-id="0004"  tvg-name="Name 2" group-title="Test",Name 2
http://.....................

Only the second service appears in the services tab. The first is ignored but using the pipe:// url works if used in the manual creation of a service.

The commit fix the aspect on comment #1: it works, thanks!

The missing support described in the former comment looks still missing.
Maybe I was not very clear in my description: I would use pipe:// urls in the field URL of the form used to add a new "IPTV Automatic Network". This is what I get in the log is:

ott 29 16:49:54 sauron tvheadend[354]: httpc: 0012: Unknown scheme 'pipe'
