I've spent the last two days all day trying to figure this out, it's driving me insane. I can't stream .m3u playlists properly with my zgemma, the stream will start without issue and after 10-20 seconds freeze up or go extremely stuttery. I realise there's a similar thread a few below this one (currently) but they are not facing this same issue.
For background, I can stream with the iptv player no problem, in full hd for things like vod. My box is wired up and all m3u streams work perfectly on the PC.
But, when I try and add an m3u file to a bouquet (I've tried multiple ways) the stream will start fine and quickly, play perfectly for 10 seconds or so and then suddenly freeze. To me this makes no sense anyway, as it's not a network issue and it plays no problems to begin with. I have tried multiple ways to do this, and they are:
Used esettings+ program, (let's you easily connect to box, create a new bouquet or edit existing ones, add your iptv channels and write it back to box). So simple and perfect to use if anyone wants to try it, lets me name all bouquets and order them perfectly. I restart box, load up a channel, channel begins to play and freezes after 10 seconds)
Used TSmedia, uploaded m3u to m3u user folder, selected it, added to bouquet played the channel, starts fine then freezes.
Used m2b m3u bouquet converter - installed plugin and converted an m3u file stored on /tmp and created a bouquet. I've tried all types (I've heard multicast is the correct one) and still get the usual plays fine then 10 second freezes.
Has anyone heard of or solved this problem? I just want an all in one box, sat channels and iptv channels combined on the same EPG. (I have kodi and mag boxes but my perfect solution would be to have it on my e2 box). I have a premium iptv sub (they don't currently support m3u lists so looking to move).
Is this down to the zgemma star 2s? I'm using sucmnsee's image - could it be down to this? I've tried searching for someway to increase the buffer if there is such a thing with no luck. Is it possibly an m3u playlist providers fault? Just what exactly do I have to do to get this working :)
If anyone can solve this problem or help in anyway I'd be over the moon.
Cheers
