Hey, everyone. I'm running into an issue that I can't seem to get through. I have an IPTV service that I'm paying for that was working for months. The link I was using for the 2 setups that I have went down, and I had to change links. After fighting with the several links they sent me, some of them were working. I changed my m3u4u link to the new link and updated my channels. All of my channel lists are updating without issue, and they are syncing to IPTV Simple Client from the lists on the new URL. The issue that I am having is that even though I can see the channels and the guides, when I try to launch any of the channels on Kodi I am getting a "One or more items failed to play" error. When I check the log, I see an error that says "Failed with code 555" when it is trying to open the stream.
Any ideas on what I can do there? I have tried clearing the data, adding a new provider in IPTV Simple Client, on VPN vs off VPN, rebooted 1000 times and everything else I can think of. Any help would be amazing. Thank you all. :)
Edit: Solution found. Posting it here in case anyone else runs into this.
After spending quite some time on this, I have found what seems to be working for me. I am not sure why suddenly this became an issue across 2 different Kodi setups when it was working before, but this thread lead me to a working solution (for me):

I ended up changing my output on my m3u4u playlists from MPEG-TS(.ts) to HLS(.m3u8) and the channels are now working again.
