I haven't been able to figure this out and I'm hoping someone can help. Basically I created a .m3u playlist load that into the IPTV simple client. I also run a batch file every night that pulls the latest xmltv file and then adb pushes it to my Fire TV stick. Currently the streams are being transcoded using the m3u8 links provided by HDHRfling (source is HDHOMERUN prime). However, I would like to not transcode and instead launch mxplayer to decode the mpeg2 streams using the HW+ mpeg2 decoder

NOTE: I already put the playercorefactory.xml into my /userdata directory and set all the protocols to MXPlayerFree. However when I try to launch a channel it just says External Player something and the "ok" button.

Here is what my working .m3u file looks like when its being transcoded by HDHRFLING
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:0, tvg-id="I21248.labs.zap2it.com" tvg-logo="logo-802.png" tvg-name="KDKADT", KDKA HD
http://192.168.1.11:9090/tv/__guest/stre...tream.m3u8


And this is NOT working when I try to launch it with the external player (internal Player DOES WORK but of course its very jerky)
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:0, tvg-id="I21248.labs.zap2it.com" tvg-logo="logo-802.png" tvg-name="KDKADT", KDKA HD

I know MXplayer can handle it because i can enter in the URL directly and it plays it. Also, if I use HDHOMERUN plugin the stream will launch using the external player but there is no way to change the channel.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
