IPTV struggle (7 Viewers)

[technoweary]

Good day folks.

I am trying to get my Mediaportal 1 system connected to use IPTV and finding it a bit of a struggle. I do not know anything about the requirements that allow Mediaportal to use streaming IPTV, in fact the whole thing is new to me.

Having subscribed to a source of UK television that provides many different formats of the programming I have tried downloading the file I want and loading and scanning in DVB-IP IP source filter in TV Server Configuration. The TV server sees the file and scans the channels but at the end of the scan I have zero programs
The MediaPortal IPTV Filter and url source splitter also loads the file but on clicking the blue test button I get a red cross and file not suitable result
I have tried .m3u8 for Kodi, IP-TV Player and OTT Player, also .wpl, .mpcpl and vlc-txt file formats with no success. (I have used VLC to test the source and it runs them via link or file download, so I beleive the source files are good)

I think I need to get more information, or maybe a "walk-through" on setting up MediaPortal for this so I wonder if anyone could point me in the right direction?

Any advice or tips most gratfully received
Cheers
