Mythtv 0.27 and IPTV Irrecoveable recorder error

[john@…]

Hi

I was using 0.26 and could play IPTV channels but had channel change issues so was advised to upgrade to 0.27.

Since upgrade IPTV channels will not play,I get irrecoverable recorder error. The m3u files being used is ​http://www.avenard.org/iptv/tv_grab_au_tpg

Turning on all debug only the following log appears when accessing IPTV channel. FYI I am able to play IPTV channels using VLC and same above m3u file.

The "m3u" file you linked to, is not an m3u file. If you provide a valid m3u file, I will try to reproduce your problem.

The playlist may be ​http://avenard.org/iptv/playlist-tpg-myth.m3u but can you provide the backend log with -v record?

myth-backend -v record

Hi

Sorry for late reply have been away.

the above m3u file did work with 0.26 although I could not change from one IPTV channel to another. I tested the file with VLC and it works ok so I expect streams are restricted to users on TPG network which might make it hard to reproduce.

have uploaded file as requested

that log contains no information related to IPTV recording, it's all about recording from a DVB card

the frontend log also makes no sense with that playlist: channels from that playlist are numbered 300 and over frontend there is attempting to watching channel 90 which is GEM on FTA

sounds like a configuration issue
