Thought i'd post on here with some findings re IPTV on my DUO2
For ages, i havent been able to record my IPTV service, the box hangs after hitting record, or starts to glitch heavily until recording is stopped, and the channel changed.
Now, i just thought the DUO2 (and maybe SOLO2) just were unable to record IPTV - i was ready to ditch the box in favour of the Mutant HD51 which i know records IPTV fine - anyhow, i discovered a thread when doing a google search, which mentioned an OLD Apollo v23 image was working fine for recording IPTV but later images 2.24 , 3,4,and 5 dont.
I went about some testing, I couldnt find v23 ANYWHERE, i eventually managed to get hold on Apollo v15 and v24 image from 2014 with the help of a forum member.
I flashed my box with Apollo v15 not expecting much, low and behold, i could record it, there is a freeze after a few moments, but if you goto recordings and playback the currently recording stream, it plays back fine, and therefore records fine - the same was true for v24.
I then tried openvix-3.2.037, followed by openvix-4.2.030 and openvix-5.0.014
all of the glitched or hung when i tried doing the same.
OBVIOUSLY lots has hanged since Apollo and todays builds, but i wonder what specifically changes the issue with IPTV recordings.
For now, im stuck on an ancient image, but at least i can use sat and iptv and get reliable recordings.
if you need any further tests, im happy to help, would be great to get IPTV recording working on latest images.
thanks all!
EDIT: This is when using IPTV service from BOUQUET using e_channelizer app to import the .m3u, and then changing the stream type from IPTV to DVB, im on a 100Mbps connection in case bandwidth is raised.
