I'm having a bit of a problem with the last step here. I think it's because the entries in my playlist file don't contain .ts.
Here's an example of an entry from my playlist file:
pipe:///usr/bin/ffmpeg -loglevel fatal -re -i http://xxxxx.xxxxx:xx/xxxxxx/xxxxxx/xxxx
The first perl bit seems to have worked as it's added the relevant pipe:/// bumf to the beginning of the line.
I think the last perl command needs editing a bit so it works for me, but I don't know how it should look for it to work.
Helllppp!! :D
