Reported by: ronluna@… Owned by:
Priority: major Milestone: 0.28
Component: MythTV - General Version: Unspecified
Severity: high Keywords: Mythtv Url Escape character
Cc: Ticket locked: no

Description

When addind/importing iptv url channels that contains a "%" in the url the iptv_channel table will stored it correctly but when querying the database from any client the "%" gets escaped to "%25" changing the original url causing the stream to fail. Example:

This is the original stream url ​http://ip_address/live/test.m3u8?clientid=%2F.ts

After stored in the DB and when trying to be accessed from any of the clients the server will try to escape the original url and will try to access the following url

​http://ip_address/live/test.m3u8?clientid=%252F.ts

It will try to escape the "%" to "%25" causing the stream to fail

FWIW I have several IPTV channels from a VBOX that have % in the channel URLs such has ​http://192.168.1.204:55555/ITV4%2B1 and they all work OK.

A log with -v channel,record might help
