IPTV stream plays in VLC but poorly in NPVR

OK, I'll give that a try later.
Thanx.

I updated the nshare.dll to the 1/18 version (I had the 1/17 version) and the ON DEMAND listings are now in ON DEMAND. But, they don't play. I tried the first listing for Babylon Five and got a recording in the Record section that stopped as soon as it started. However, I also lost almost all of the epg info for the live TV, which I had earlier. Perhaps that will show up tomorrow but initially it showed up immediately. I initially deleted all of the iptv listings, reimported the first m3u and xml followed by importing the second m3u and ignoring the second xml. I did notice the second (VOD) m3u loaded much faster with the latest nshare.dll.

Can you try '60 Days In' S01E01, and let me know if it plays?

When I did the same here, I did notice a problem that both lineups get the same channel numbers, which means that when you view the TV Guide, the VOD channels are mixed in with the Live TV channels, right there at the start of the guide, so it looks like only a channel or two have listings. The same channels have listings as they did originally, but there is just several other VOD channels mixed in between, making it look like there is less channels with listings. I'm guessing that's what you're seeing? I need to change it so that the second m3u channels import at a higher number, starting after the original channels.

Yeah, I've made some improvements around saving large numbers of channels. Very noticeable if you're dealing with 18000 channels....

It opened almost immediately but in short order, the video becomes smeary and unwatchable. The audio continued and was fine. I'm going to delete the 18000 channels and import only the first m3u and xml. I'll wait for the On Demand channels until such time as you have them working, although, they aren't something I normally would spend much time with.

sub,
Is it possible to have more than 1 IPTV device, much like the HDHR devices?
That would make it easier to play with the 2 different URLs; instead of combing all the channels together, I could keep them in separate devices, thereby making it easier to add/delete individual channels.

No sorry. You have to interact with that one device.
