PVR IPTV Simple Client with Raspberry 4 with LibreELEC

1st Official Post

    Long time user of OSMC on Rasp 2 then 3. I now just bought a 4 and OSMC doesn't seem to work on it so I went the LibreELEC route.

    But for some reason Simple Client doesn't seem to work. I see my channels and my guide but none of the channels work.

    When I put my Rasp 3 in, it works fine.

    Is there a trick for the Rasp 4 with LibreELEC?

    Thanks guys

    Edit: I'm running Night Build New LibreELEC.tv Matrix build #0425:

    I get this in the log:

    So it does see all my channels and tries to load them it seems but then it fails?

    There's basically no difference between the RPi2(3) and RPi4 images. Note that installed paths in LE and OSMC will be different so if you've copied a config file that points to some kind of playlist? (I've never used IPTVSimple so no idea of that's a requirement) the path could need tweaking.
