Hello everyone

I have a m3u file that works on my pc with vlc, but I cannot make it work on my emby server. 

Movies and TV-Shows work perfectly.

I appreciate any help. Thanks

That channel uses HLS ABS (adaptive bitrate streaming)  of 270, 360, 540, 720, 1080 resolutions which is OK, but it also breaks out the audio into seperate streams as well as a seperate subtitle stream. Breaking the streams out like this is allowed using HLS format 3 but it's not very well supported.  Not to mention the format this particular stream is using violates the format anyway.  For the heck of it I tried 3 very well known IPTV players as well as VLC.  VLC was the only program that could play the actual stream after I fixed it but gave an error on the playlist. VLC was only able to play this using the 3rd audio stream available and any change anywhere to any stream change would halt/freeze playback.

There are a couple others similar to this in the same playlist and many other streams that weren't available which could be a geo-lock issue or just not available.

Below is the streams in the master playlist for this channel showing what I was referring to.
