OldGoat:
Not sure where to post this, but as I'm a Mac user I'll start here. iMac 2017 27" - Ventura 13.1

Have been able to implement the 4Sat in NextPVR but would dearly love to enable it in MC. MC sees the 4Sat but fails to implement it.

M3U file from https://github.com/iMiMx/Sat-IP-UK-Freesat-M3U linked in first step of config.

It would be great if this is possible

Yaobing:
What happened when you clicked "Scan" button on the Summary page of TV Setup Wizard?

Also, on the second screenshot, the M3U file specified was "FreeSat.mu3". Was that the correct filename as it was (FreeSat.mu3 instead of FreeSat.m3u)?

OldGoat:
Found one problem, now looking at another in MUA3 file re IP address.

I don't quite understand what you are saying here. But

Does this mean that there is a file security issue when MC try to load the file?

If the actual disk file is named *.mu3, it should be fine, as long as you give MC the exact file to load. We should not care whether the file extension is correct or not.

OldGoat:
Yes, you are correct . It is been a security "Feature" of Macos for a while. Pain in the tush most of the time. The commands I showed are how to show and remove them.

As for the MU3 file, I'm now confused. It has a IP address in it that I don't understand why. It certainly is not a LAN address which I would have thought necessary to connect to my SAT receiver. Changing it had no effect.

I don't understand why the mu3 file is required. EyeTV and NextPVR automatically detect the receiver and start to scan when you request one. They both load the channel info into a their system. Interestingly, NPVR finds many more channels than EyeTV. What irks me is this info should be available as a file that could be downloaded. If the mu3 file contains the channel info, why would you need to scan? Admittedly, I'm not a programmer, just an old (77), broken down Systems Manger who still likes mucking about with computers.

After entering the mu3 file location in MC and clicking "Next", I get the spinning beach ball for a couple of minutes (Yes, minutes.) before it goes to the EPG selection. I use XMLTV. About 10 seconds shy of 3 minutes of beach balling before XMLTV Options appears. (Timed it.) Entered XMLTV file location and selected "Next". It goes immediately to the "Summary" page. Select "Scan" and it goes to "Scan Channels" but nothing happens. It definitely is not accessing the SAT receiver as the activity light isn't blinking as it does in EyeTV and NPVR.

After 30+ minutes:

Any thoughts? Debug mode?
