Channel list load but video doesn’t start

Hello everyone,

I hope someone solved this problem in the past.
I tried different release of Kodi from 14 to 17.

When I load a m3u file into IPTV client it will load all the channels but when I go to click on them no stream starts.

It worked before (Kodi 14). Since I updated to Kripton I started having that problem. I even tried to install the v14 back still can’t see any video.
It shows the working icon for few seconds then it disappear and no stream whatsoever.

Any suggestion?

Thank you,
D.

PS I have no problem using VLC instead
