It is quite strange that this link plays on every other EPG/IPTV player I have used except this one (my favorite). 
Kodi Simple IPTV - works. 
Kodi TV Guide Fullscreen - works
Ivue - works
Windows MYIptv - Works
Vlc- Works. 
NextPVR- No audio.

v5 isn't done that's true but v4 isn't perfect and v5 does somethings better

You can't have v4 and v5 running on the same machine, sub didn't want to change the ports so you would have to do it yourself or temporarily turn off v4 to use v5. This does make it seem like a bit of a hack and makes it impossible to make a clean installer. Ironically perhaps linux and docker installs are much easier than Windows because they are clean.

You also don't set up NextPVR with the GUI client NextPVR. It is all done through the browser.

Windows 10 PC, v4 easily installs. I set it up, input my IPTV url and XML , the channels map nicely and the EPG works great. 
Using v5 - I follow the instructions, set up the NPVR server, get everything running, start NPVR and then click Devices And Settings to enter url and XML- this brings me to the http server which doesnt launch. 

When looking at the v5 post stickies, it directly states that this version isnt quite done yet. 
Changing to a broken v5 from v4 for just 2 News channel links doesn't seem reasonable until v5 is fully ready, but if you have direction as to how I can get v5 running i'd be grateful
For the most part v5 should be fully working, though you're likely to have similar issues with this particular stream though. I haven't tried the stream on v5 yet.

If you do end up giving v5 another go, make sure you post about what problem you strike, and we'll help you through it (and try to make sure the next user wont have same problem).

The documentation can be found at https://github.com/sub3/NextPVR/wiki. I'm also going to try to make some videos over the next few days showing how to do some of common types of installs of v5, to help take some of the guess work out of it.

Yeah I got it up and running but if I close the command window (that opens when starting the server) if I close this window I cant use the service. Is this as intended until the program is finished?

It's an odd stream, and will need some work to handle it correctly. While I knew they could exist, it's the first HLS stream we've ever encountered that has separate streams for audio and video. I know we can get it to work with the ffmpeg fallback, because I can see it's not outputting videos that have both audio+video, but unfortunately it's a bit slow to start which causes other issues.

You can run the installservice.bat, which gets it always running in the background, like v4.

The fast way is

ffmpeg -i audiostream - i videostream -async 1 -f fmpegts

the slow way is

fffmpeg -i m3u8 -f fmpegts

Thank you! You're a genius. 
I wasn't able to get this channel loaded into V5. Cant tell you if it works on V5 or not. 
Loading channels is quite different on this version

Not sure if you want to know this but -

Using v4 - loads my IPTV M3U8 url and xmls, loads the services channel groups properly into the guide, works perfectly (except two channels with no audio that are separate as discussed in the main topic of this thread) 
Using v5 - loads my IPTV M3U8 url and xmls BUT IGNORES THE CHANNEL GROUPS SET UP BY MY IPTV SERVICE, instead giving me an "all channels" list and nothing more. 
Not sure if a major change between v4 and v5 causes this, just tryring to report a bug

Sorry, I'm aware of this - I broke it in the last build. I've fixed for the next build.
