TVHeadend exhibits unusual behaviour after a large m3u IPTV file has been set up

Susi Loma

Hi,
i have written a lot of comments the last days because of unusual behavior of my TVHeadend setup. After an intensive search, I discovered that it is due to my IPTV settings. I configured an auto IPTV setup with a m3u file with 186844 lines.

I just want to get some feedback. Is this a large file? Is there something wrong with my setup?

I created a new VM instance with TVHeadend and only configured the IPTV network on this server. The startup and response time after doing some changes in the network config is extremly slow. Is there a way to increase the performance of IPTV?

Maybe an other format of the playlist or something like this?

Do you have any limit on concurrent streams set? If you try to probe 186844 channels at the same time.... That will bring things to a standstill, both locally and at your provider. Even if a single channel has 2 entries/lines in that file, that would not make it better.
