m3u8 file works when ported into web based player, but crashes after seconds in Plex, Kodi, or other players?

Hey guys, just a quick question. When I port my m3u playlist into Plex or Kodi simple clients, the playlist loads without error. But when I play a channel, it'll work for like 10 seconds and then close itself.

To check if this was just a flaw with my provider, I tried testing individual m3u8 channels here: http://streambox.fr/mse/hls.js-0.7.9/demo/ and they worked for hours without problem. Is there a setting I can adjust, or a reason why Kodi/Plex/or other players would crash the stream after a few seconds?

Kodi and plex generally don't work great with iptv in general. While some people have it working fine, your results may vary.

This one is going to be very difficult to troubleshoot, if you even can.

Id start by checking the kodi logs though. I'm not a plex user so I'm not sure about that!

Can you give an example of one of the entries in the m3u list as plain text? I use all kinds of m3u lists in Kodi and never had a problem.
