Tvheadend

Hi,

many thanks for developing tvheadend, I use this amazing piece of software regularly :-)

One issue I stumpled over is that tvheadend (in contrast to e.g. vlc) does not support IPTV master urls, e.g. used for a prominent German TV channel:

https://derste247livede.akamaized.net/hls/live/658317/daserste_de/master.m3u8

kodinerds-iptv used the direct url

https://github.com/jnk22/kodinerds-iptv/commit/0c3e735ed0a2c0c7514a08db9fc18804f9c1de56

but after the direct url breaks frequently, they reverted back to the master url.

I think the proper fix needs to be implemented in tvheadend.

As a temporary workaround I use a script, maybe it helps others until a proper fix is available:

rd@scw:~$ cat /usr/local/bin/fetch-dasErste.sh 
#!/bin/sh

masterurl=$(wget -O - -o /dev/null http://bit.ly/kn-pipe|grep -A 1 "Erste HD"|grep pipe|cut -f 5 -d " ")
url=$(wget -O - -o /dev/null $masterurl|grep index_7|grep -v "[0-9]-b")

echo '#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-name="Das Erste HD" tvg-id="ARD.de" group-title="IPTV-D" tvg-logo="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jnk22/kodinerds-iptv/master/logos/tv/daserstehd.png",Das Erste HD
