Stream proxy not working on Merged Playlists - v0.8.2-dev

[Pedromanuelsilva]

Describe the bug

Stream proxy not working when i try to proxy a Merged Playlist. Channel doesn't load. Logs show playlist limit reached [See below]

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Create a merged playlist from a playlist. activate proxy on both with same settings.

If you play a channel on the original playlist, it proxies it correctly and it shows in Stream Monitor and logs show stream created successfully.

If you stop and play the same channel from the merged playlist, it fails and the logs show the limit is reached

Expected behavior

Both channels play through proxy (and using just one connection should be the expected behavior, but since it's from two different output playlists that can have different settings i understand that it will to use two)

Actual behavior

Merged playlist channel fails to play

Going to move this one to a discussion. It's not really a bug, but more of a feature request, and could be a bit tricky to implement.

[Pedromanuelsilva]

I don't understand how this isn't a bug. Maybe i explained it badly on the original post.

My problem is when i enable the "All Channels" merged playlist proxy switch, it doesn't play the channels and i get the first error. If it's not a feature, why is the switch there?

I'm also facing the same issue. As soon as a channel got a fallback channel it doesn't paly in proxy mode.

Yeah this would be a great addon to have!
