I would like to use the bbc-stations from BBC iPlayer. Here is a geo-restricted example-url: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/live/cbbc (only working in the UK or with VPN).
This should work as an "iptv automated network" together with Streamlink in the pipe. But it doesn't )-:
After forcing scan I got this in my log:

If I use Streamlink with the same settings but direct output to VLC the stream is working. I can also successfully pipe other streams from Streamlink to TVHeadend. This is why I am seeking help here and not at Streamlink.
Here are my settings:
