The calls go back to your server so that confirms a configuration error somewhere not a NextPVR problem

After setting that for good measure enable verbose logging (ctrl click the log button on the main setting screen) and send the logs again.

Try and link the 404 to the server messages like this (NextPVR is sending more often than that)

2025-10-04 11:28:00 Channel #3012 has been idle for more than 5 minutes. Removing playlist info.

My instinct tell me the server is not multi-user.

Why does it only happen on ESPN3 and not on NFL+? It's the same game? What's the main issue with the ESPN3 channel?

Why does it work on vlc. it also works on ffmpeg

ffmpeg -i http://localhost:8000/channels/3007.m3u8 -t 60 -c copy test.ts

I recorded a 1 minute session of the channel but it failes in 30 seconds on nextpvr.

I reached out to the maker of EPlustv to see if he could help

ChatGPT recommended I do this.

<M3USource name="IPTV" url="C:\PVR\sports_epg\eplustv\channels_with_logos.m3u">
    <HLSProxy>false</HLSProxy>
    <EnableTimeshift>false</EnableTimeshift>
    <UpdateFrequency>2</UpdateFrequency>
    <BufferSize>4</BufferSize>
</M3USource>

It didn't help

I made a post here

https://community.getchannels.com/t/espn...31144/2957

IS there nothing else I can do here?

You are wasting your time and ours with chatgpt and also with no new information. I think your server logs will tell you something..

If you can open your server to the Internet and share your m3u file I can try but other than that NextPVR can't distinguish your working an non working channel URLs. I can't access these sites in Canada and don't have a subscription in any case

Thanks for providing access, it makes things clearer. Looking at how the EPLusTV server is working the original m3u8 returns a second tagged m3u8. By default NextPVR reloads the original m3u8. In config.xml , there is setting that you can change to true

<UseFinalM3U8>true</UseFinalM3U8>

which should use the tagged m3u8. You should try that as I suspect that could be the problem maybe talk to the developer about that to confirm. Certainly your linear channels seem pretty stable here. I will wait until one of your ESPN3 shows are on for further testing.

Yeah I am not sure why, but SEC+ works fine, even though it goes through same ESPN database. I played with UseFinalM3U8 before and no luck but I can try again.

Some events are fast, they over compensate the time slots in Eplustv

[mvallevand]

Your server reported issues talking to the ESPN3 source. I don't know if this is because I am connecting remotely, you need to ask the new developer how to avoid this.

Code:

This patch might work around the EPlusTV server handling https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...#pid604286 Let us know how it works out.

Can this be pushed to main version or is it a patch for those who need it? I assume it fixed bugs elsewhere as well.  Will test later on today.

I don't support by PM. Sub's patches are typically for those that need it now, but they will be part of future release.

Also for sub's info

this fixed it thanks
