#13187 closed Bug Report - General (Fixed)
HLSPlaylist doesn't follow 302 redirects correctly

Description
When using HLS to IPTV stream NZ channels the base URL for the playlist re-directs to the correct location via a 302.
This re-direct can't be permanent as the streaming URL changes over time.
The redirected playlist provides the correct TS streams but HLSStream tries to use the original base playlist domain rather than the domain provided via re-direction.

Couple of mythdownloadmanager tickets relating to re-directs
- #12380 Patch for mythdownloadmanager to support relative redirects
- #12381 Patch for mythdownloadmanager for improved POST redirect compatibility
- #12384 Feature patch - mythdownloadmanager redirect with original headers
Ticket #12380 appears to be the initial implementation of relative re-direct but is this code path used for the IPTV streams?
comment:8 by , 8 years ago
For mythsingledownload we have this patch for re-directs but doesn't deal with relative
- #12255 Mythsingledownload doesn't support HTTP redirects
So the relative map actually happens in httplivestreambuffer.cpp but it looks like the redirected location of the m3u8 isn't passed back to re-base the relative URLs for the .ts files.

Critical file appears to be
Useful docs
My take is that
- HLSReader::Open(const QString & m3u, int bitrate_index)
Should be called with the re-directed M3U URL rather than the original URL from the channel entry.
Stepping back to the call
- void HLSStreamHandler::run(void)
This calls
QString url = m_tuning.GetURL(0).toString();
m_hls->Throttle(false);
HLSReader: Throttle
while (_running_desired)
{
if (!m_hls->IsOpen(url))
{
if (!m_hls->Open(url, m_tuning.GetBitrate(0)))
So unless the URL has been re-directed before we call Open we're using the wrong Base URL for the streamed content requests further on.

Looks like we've gfot a secondary issue
- #12486
- IPTV Recorder HLS AES-128 Problem
we work well with clear streams, but have issues with encrypted streams containing
#EXT-X-KEY:METHOD=AES-128
