Hello. I am a dev of a iptv software and we tend to use Kodi with Simple IPTV to watch the channels we create with that server. We've been trying to deal with improving channel loading times, and we noticed that wheneer you select a channel Kodi seems to start the stream, close it quickly then start the stream again. A google search took me to a thread in this forum in which it's said that this behavior is intentional. But no more details were given and then the thread became about a different topic.
So I'm interested in learning why the client works like this. I am guessing that the first call to the endpoint is to gather some information before playing. I hope that understanding this will make me help switching channels in our iptv server much faster in kodi. Would be nice to know what headers to expect in this case.
