Cannot add my channelsdvr m3u

Ok good and bad. It is opus so that limits playing it to certain players and NextPVR will transcode it as I told your earlier.

That error is pretty serious sounds like the server is failing. Instead of ffprobe in that command try ffplay

I'll have to check the other server as well, it works great, but fails and I have to reclick the channel as it fails. I assume it can be fixed as a cheesy iptv app on android can work with it that I found (the m3u I loaded into nextpvr)

You have so many good and bad attempts that I can't make any assumptions. Good luck, I think you have the tools you need to help you debug this now and I have shown why NextPVR is transcoding.

Can you tell me what I need to do to completely forbit transcoding on nextpvr? If a cheesy cheap iptv app (with ads) can play the m3u, surely nextpvr should be able to play with no bugs ? Some sort of passthrough option.

You aren't reading what I tell you.

- first you need your node.js to support HEAD
- sub would need to support opus for the browser

That stream is crap too so need to fix the server side to provide a stream with fewer errors.

Also maybe you think that ffplay output is transcoding, it isn't that is direct play of a bad stream.

I added a head option, does this look more promising?

That seems cleaner after the initial junk but it won't help ffplay what does curl -I show now?

Why won't it help?

Using the other PC it seems to be working - no errors to be seen.
