I think that I did not explain this clearly. My playlist is a m3u file and I edited a couple of the muxes within the file, not the iptv url with the pipe. The url has over 22,000 muxes and I edited a lot of them out. When I loaded the m3u file in the automatic network, my path was like this: file:///home/hts/m3u/mym3u.m3u. It loads fine but it is not a pipe to ffmpeg.
Could I put the pipe in the automatic network like this: (pipe:///usr/bin/ffmpeg -loglevel fatal -i file:///home/hts/m3u/mym3u.m3u -vcodec copy -acodec copy -metadata service_provider=STRING -metadata service_name=STRING -f mpegts -tune zerolatency pipe:1) ? Will all of the muxes play through ffmpeg so I do not have to edit my m3u file and add the pipe string individually?
Thanks
