Title covers it mostly. I have the M3U list and XML loading and it shows up just fine. But when I click on the channel to play it nothing happens.

If I turn on debugging and tail the log it records the button press, but nothing else happens. No failed URL or attempts at doing anything with CURL

I can load the M3U list into other programs like TV Guide FullScreen  but I don't think it is being maintained and was hoping to use the more integrated PVR.

Can you supply a full debug log?

If you don’t know how there are details in my signature.

Thanks, I figured it out, my m3u did not have all the tags

It had looked like 

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1, Stream
http://stream.url

Once I changed it to

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-STREAM-INFROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=572723"
http://stream.url

The first one should work. The second one is usually the content of the m3u8 supplied int be first one.

I.e. the first one signifies a channel. The second is for the stream and can support many bandwidths.

Cool, Yeah I'm not sure if they are "streams" or channels, they worked when launch from a .strm file or using TV Guide Fullscreen, but didn't launch from IPTV Simple Client until I added that second bit. I'm building my own streams that are scraps of free online services so there's a lot that can go wrong, just glad it's working now with the builtin guide / PVR. It so much faster.

I am doing the same.  Amazing how many free and legal sources there are now, like open source software it's the way to go.  I sent you a PM.

Try reverting back to IPTV Simple Client 3.8.6.1  

It will work.  Any version after that is broken on RPi
