It has buffering problems and you'll have to tweak the buffer size to avoid buffer under- and overflows. > FileTest;IPTV:5:IPTV|S0P2|FILE|/video/vdr/Stream1_Unscrambled_030308.ts|5:P:0:35+514:34:2321:0:3:0:0:0 The "S0P2" should be "S0P1". Only 0 or 1 are defined, but any non-zero value will be handled like 1 at the moment. > buffered 8.0 frames (v:15.8, a:8.0) These are not originating from iptv plugin nor vanilla vdr, but maybe from an output device plugin (xine/xineliboutput/softdevice) you're using. > 2) Although the other PIDS get picked up within the stream, when I try to select one of the other streams, I only get the "Arts Channel": You've activated the pid scanner and it doesn't handle multiple video/audio pids, but detects always only the first one. > 3) I'm also having problems selecting the various EXT channels.
