If you ping to the hostname (xxxxxxx.com), do you see ipv4 or ipv6 address? It seems that you have disabled ipv6 in your kernel/system (but it's just a guess).

pings back ipv4

I found another guy with a similar setup that runs thru ffmpeg and it works for me.

pipe:///usr/bin/ffmpeg -loglevel quiet -i http://xxxxxxxx.com:8080/live/xxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxx/8502.ts -c copy -flags +global_header -strict -2 -f mpegts pipe:1

never had to do this previously. I use curl to get the m3u playlist and epg xml from the site.

Thanks it works like a charm. Sorry it took me so long to reply. Work kept getting in my way.
