That was my thoughts as well and that is why I do not understand why this won't work. If I try and play the URL from a stream file, it works perfectly. If I use it in another addon, it works perfectly. It is just when I use it with this PVR addon that it fails to work.

From what was mentioned on that other thread I linked, when it plays correctly in XBMC, the URL passed to FFmpeg is in the format of "hdhomerun://..." but when passed from this PVR, the URL is passed to FFmpeg in the format of "pvr://channels/..."

Here is what it looks like when I add .strm files as a video source and play it that way:
