According to

it is already possible to record iptv channels using the standard record button on Vix
I have tried openvix4.2 to record an iptv "premiumpay channel servers" using a testing account and it doesn´t work

. If i go to the movies folder i find the file but the time recorded is ZERO.
It seems that you need two subscriptions to watch and record the same channel because gstreamer doesn´t allow you to record the watched channel on the fly. Do you have another explanation?
The type of premium channel was
#DESCRIPTION Time Rush [DE] [2016]
#SERVICE 4097:0:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:http%3A//blablablablbalba/blaba/blabla.mkv
I thought that 4097 channels were already supported. See gstreamer for openpli
http://forums.openpli.org/topic/38409-iptv-gstreamer-recording/
This also happens with "normal" service channels like:
The recorded file has again ZERO time.
#DESCRIPTION RO: National Geographic
#SERVICE 1:0:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:http%3A//blablbalbalbla/blabblablbala/13997.ts
So this has nothing to do with the type of channel, but with the fact that the server only allows one subscription or connection. i guess
I have tried with other open-free channels with openvix4.2 at it seems to work without problems.
Another explanation, is that gstreamer and openvix4.2 needs some kind of buffer from the server. If the server doesn´t provide you that then they are not able to record even on the fly watching channels.
