How did you get frames? ffmpeg can get frames fine - with some warnings, though.

Just keep requesting the same m3u8 URL.

Hi,

even if we get the link its loaded but stuck on first frame

How did you get frames? ffmpeg can get frames fine - with some warnings,

We are checking in vlc

is the parameter works "--hls-use-mpegts"

--hls-use-mpegts Use the mpegts container for HLS videos,
allowing to play the video while
downloading (some players may not be able
to play it)

Have you check the youtube video which we share

I got stuck on VLC, too. Apparently VLC is broken as mpv works fine.

Yes, but I have never used IPTV so I can't give any opinion

is the parameter works "--hls-use-mpegts"

That doesn't matter. It's only relevant in downloading.

By the way, here's my mpv command:

mpv "$(youtube-dl -g "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ik5mjLELa9c")"

Ah, that's a ffmpeg security mechanism - m3u8 files on the disk are not allowed to access remote files. Instead, you'll need to feed to m3u8 URL to your favorite player.
