IPTV - M3U source - Request limit to 1 connection per M3U tuner created

[Luke 37049]

Ok guys this has been released with 3.2.40. For those on the beta server, 3.2.41 is up and already has a couple improvements related to this. Thanks.

Well I'm not exactly sure how you can represent that in an m3u.

 

Example m3u entries with piping. This works in TVH as an M3u file

 

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1 channel-id="43" tvg-id="I89690.json.schedulesdirect.org" tvg-logo="https://s3.amazonaws.com/schedulesdirect/assets/stationLogos/s89690_h3_aa.png",US-BBC WORLD NEWS HD-Free

since this update im having nothing but issues i have a unlimited m3u playlist (and as been fine all this time) but now no one can play stuff from tv guide? only links i put in the iptv plugin will work? regardless off if i select 0 for unlimited or 200/500/800 connections does this need to be used for m3u playlist as you get your connections through the iptv panel through your playlist? how can i rectify this? and how easier is it to roll back to previous release as was working fine.

 

p.s never updated log before so hope ive done it correctly

 

thank you for your time

I have a 2 stream limit but have not had any issues running .40 with number of streams set to unlimited (0) or 2. When you make the change, the guide will reload from the internet and this will take a while. I believe I have seen issues trying to start shows from the guide before the reload has completed. Have you waited for the guide reload to complete before testing this?

 

BTW, your attachment was missing.

I came across an issue where iptv channels would no longer play from the guide. Clicking on a program in the guide gives endless spinning circle. The log shows the error message below (sorry no time to sanitize the entire log from passwords). Neither ffprobe nor ffmpeg are running on the server. On the other hand, programs from the HDHomerun played fine. A reboot resolved the issue.

I did some more testing and found that I cannot play 2 channels in parallel on v3.2.40. I get the error reported above every time. This was working in the previous beta when I tested this. I am about to leave town, so apology for lack of detail. Hopefully someone else can deliver required logs within the next days.

 

EDIT: Testing on 3.2.40.3 beta, I can view two programs simultaneously. Not sure if all conditions are identical, and stable and beta are running on different machines.
