what changed about two weeks ago is I stopped redirecting to the substreams of the playlist.
Instead now I redirect to the master playlists (that have all the qualities)
ffmpeg takes quite a bit longer to parse these as it checks each substream.

Maybe I'll look into switching back just for the Tvheadend targeted playlist

Thanks for the input. Have changed the settings as you have listed but still have the same channels failing: SBS Food, Seven, SBS Viceland HD, 7Two, 7mate. Some others seem to scan then drop off after a while. It just seems to be a bit unstable
