Tvheadend

Could you try with the raw URL? http://slexy.org/raw/s20JJIkPDj

I uploaded the file on web for your commodity. I got the local m3u file as well as the generator script: same result.

Jaroslav, could you consider to reopen this report? I can't use any m3u list for auto IPV network any more...

Could you try v4.1-1033-gf362fd1 ?

I can confirm that the regression has been fixed. Thanks.

I have a m3u file which read successfully with VLC:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/trepmag/iptv-ch/master/sd-hd-open.m3u

Tvheadend responds "IPTV: unknown playlist format" when trying to setup an 'iptv automatic network' with the above url.

I there something wrong in the format?

Ok, converting the file from windows/crlf to unix line feed fixed the issue.

TVH imports the file from comment#7 with CR+LF just fine.. It must be something different. Could you attach the file which cannot be imported ?

Yes, the file from #7 was converted with dos2unix in the meantime; here is the file before conversion:

I coding a python code.

My script fetching token url from the channel's site to local ts file.

Example:

1.ts
2.ts
3.ts

Example playlist file:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF: 0, 1. Channel
1.ts
#EXTINF: 0, 2. Channel
2.ts
#EXTINF: 0, 2. Channel
3.ts

In this way work channels on VLC Player on Windows.

But not work on TVHeadEnd 4.2

I added file:///storage/iptv/playlist.m3u8 line on iptv automatic network section.

It's happening : "iptv: unknown playlist format for network"

I send this file to my http server and added link on iptv automatic network section. It works on http server.

Sorry my bad English. I hope can tell you my problem.

Why not play local files on playlist?

This is M3U8 hls streaming
end url must include this playlist to work
content of M3U8 is dynamical

The same files work on HTTP protocol.

But not work file:/// protocol

Anyway. I did it with lftp. But if it work end url on local, it would be nice.

This files are only a chunks of stream (segments) served for HLS (HTTP Live Streaming)
they are segmented to http web server and joined to stream by this M3U8 manifest file (not exactly playlist)
The idea is to have stream working in not so good connection
also used in timeshift technology

M3U playlist IS NOT equal to M3U8
