different issues while iterating the kodinerds m3u iptv playlist

[hasifantasy]

Hello,

if the python script iterates over the kodinerds iptv list ( http://bit.ly/kn-kodi ) i get these errors:

~/IPTVChecker# python IPTV_checker.py -g Vollprogramm kn-kodi -vv

It should be fixed now, I added x-mpegURL support, please try again :)

[hasifantasy]

thank you, and a happy new year,

the content-type issue is fixed, but the IPTVChecker seems to have still issues in detecting streams ("maximum retries exceeded"):

for example the "ARTE HD" Stream inside the kodinerds iptv stream list:

IPTVChecker is giving up detecting a stream after reaching the maximum retries:

checking the stream with another tool (iptv-checker), this tool detects the "ARTE HD" stream as online and puts the stream in the resulting online.m3u list:

It's hard to debug this, I couldn't get them working over my VPN.

Try to run both
ffmpeg -i https://zdf-hls-18.akamaized.net/hls/live/2016501/dach/veryhigh/master.m3u8

and

ffmpeg -i https://artesimulcast.akamaized.net/hls/live/2030993/artelive_de/master.m3u8

and post the output here.
