Hi Folks,
is VOD supported with IPTV? the files are predominantly .mkv files, and although none are present now, i have seen in the past some of the VOD urls providing .avi files. i am using latest v5 version in a docker on a CoreELEC device.
live TV is working fine, and my VOD channels / groups show up in Kodi but when i try to play them i get 'failed to connect to recording device' in Kodi and npvr logs, and they seem to suggest npvr is only looking for a TS stream, and does not recognize .mkv files / pass them through to kodi to decode and play.
i can play the content using simple.iptv client in Kodi and on my PC with VLC so i know it is available.
error from logs below, full logs zipped and attached if it will help..
