iptv channel scanner broken after change to MythDownloadManager

Cc: Ticket locked: no

Description

currently in 0.27-fixes the iptv channel scanner is broken if you specify a ​http:// url to the m3u file. after a bit of digging in the code the function IPTVChannelFetcher::DownloadPlaylist?() ends up only downloading one single line of data and this completely breaks the channel scanner.

i suspect this commit broke it: ​https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/commit/1c8e30b140dd7b314fc1d6134a486893b29d6725 committer also said the change was untested.

now it is tested and doesn't work.

I've found the problem. the issue was with the url itself, was a case of double encoding the () characters in the url and this confused the script i'm using so it was never able to download the channel list from the dvb box.

if you put an url with % chars in already as videodevice, mythtv will encode it a second time with % chars and then you run into problems.

one thing I did run into is that the videodevice field in the capturecard table is a bit short sometimes.

sorry for the noise
