ABC IPTV channels not working

[festinalente]

I am using NextPVR v7.05 on LibreElec v21.3
Since upgrading I can't get the Australian ABC channels to play, but all other channels work well!

I am using Matt Huisman's Kodi Australia/Sydney m3u8 file (included in the log) and access these channels via dns4me

Interesting errors seem to occur around line 7083

Please let me know if you require any further info and may thanks for a great product

Cheers, Stephen

I would check with mjh to to see why it is calling c.mjz.nz and not the normal i. It actually plays fine here with a normal URL and it is not even geoblocked. So it could be your DNS

Try this.

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="112"',ABC
https://c.mjh.nz/abc-nsw.m3u8

Hi Martin,
I use https://i.mjh.nz/au/Sydney/raw-tv.m3u8 in a number of different devices here and it works fine, so we can rule out url and dns issues.
I downloaded raw-tv.m3u8 and changed one line from #EXTVLCOPT:http-referrer= to #EXTVLCOPT:http-referrer="" and the ABC channel then worked fine.

I have attached an extract from the log file which seems relevant and suggests that there may be a parsing error.
Hope that makes the problem slightly clearer.

Kind regards, Stephen

The issue goes beyond a parsing error since if you note the file, the working channels use the same (and odd) line for the referrer. Turns out the there is special case handling in NextPVR for the i.mjh.nz URL to workaround that bogus line and sub will need to review it for c.mjh.nz.

This is why I ask users not to PM for support I am not the only one supporting NextPVR.
