I just found this topic, so apologise for cross posting

Hi, Windows 11, Kodi 19.4, Hauupauge Broadway 2T, m3u file channel list, Add-on PVR IPTV simple client
I can see the channel list but when I try to play a television channel I get an error: One or more items failed to play

I can use VLC player to watch the television channels, but would like to use Kodi, so help to fix this would be great. I get the same error on my android.

the m3u file has entries like this
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:0,10 @ 219 MHz
#EXTVLCOPT:http-caching=800
#EXTVLCOPT:program=1589
http://User:4a7d1ed414474e4033ac29ccb865...1076944214
#EXTINF:0,10 SHAKE @ 219 MHz

#EXTVLCOPT:program=1587

the log file is normal up to this section

Try adding this line to each entry. TS streams can’t always be detected so you need to tell kodi what Mime type it is.

thank you, this worked. I was thinking I might have to buy a new PVR.

I wonder if you might know how to get the broadway to play television in chrome, edge or firefox?
When I connect directly to the broadway using the IP address I get TV Center. I can edit settings, admin, etc. but when I try to play a video it gives a message saying I need flash or html5.
I would assume all browsers now are html5 compliant, so I think it must be a similar problem, the browser is not selecting the correct mime type for the html5 from the broadway. Any ideas would be welcome.
I don't want to enable flashplayer, there are enough warnings about security.

I appreciate your help.

Delighted it worked!

Sorry, but not sure what you would need to do outside of kodi.
