I was playing a little bit with the new /channels playlist.
It works perfectly with vlc and kodi (iptv pvr plugin), but not with smart tvs (lg and samsung).
The difference between smarttv and vlc and kodi is that smart tvs send a burst of requests of channel, and nextpvr answer immediately to all that requests (there are 2-3 .ts files per channel).
It should be that nextpvr, after receives a channel change request, filters the fake requests from smart tv and elaborates only one channel change, and then send the buffer back to the smart tv (ony 1 .ts, as happens with vlc and kodi). This problems exists also with other software, and has been faced with filtering "fake" requests coming from smart tvs, verifying their user-agents, and/or sending immediately a 200 ok and the mime type, thus avoiding them to make further requests.
Sub, what do you think about it?
Thank you,
