I’ve been fixing an issue caused by the .9.16 upgrade. In doing so I came home to test a change and found that ios would not playback from my channel. A working requet from chrome, roku or plexbmc looks like [http://127.0.0.1:32400/video/nextpvr/videoclipobject?container=mp2ts&title=TV+ONE+%3A+Millionaire+Hot+Seat&url=http%3A%2F%2FMorgoth.lan%3A8866%2Flive%3Fchannel%3D1%26sid%3Dplex%26client%3D31EE14DD-9B6A-401B-B166-8109242C13FE&includeRelated=False&include\_container=True&summary=Who+will+survive+the+Hot+Seat%3F+Six+contestants+go+head+to+head+to+win+the+cash.+Hosted+by+Eddie+McGuire%2C+Millionaire+Hot+Seat+is+a+game+of+strategy%2C+skill+and+survival.&rating\_key=1.0&channel=7224](http://127.0.0.1:32400/video/nextpvr/videoclipobject?container=mp2ts&title=TV+ONE+%3A+Millionaire+Hot+Seat&url=http%3A%2F%2FMorgoth.lan%3A8866%2Flive%3Fchannel%3D1%26sid%3Dplex%26client%3D31EE14DD-9B6A-401B-B166-8109242C13FE&includeRelated=False&include_container=True&summary=Who+will+survive+the+Hot+Seat%3F+Six+contestants+go+head+to+head+to+win+the+cash.+Hosted+by+Eddie+McGuire%2C+Millionaire+Hot+Seat+is+a+game+of+strategy%2C+skill+and+survival.&rating_key=1.0&channel=7224) You can see that characters are converted to url encoded as above \*ie http:// becomes http%3A%2F%2F But IOS seems to be doing some else weird: http%253A%252F%252F like it’s been passes through the urlencode twice.

So some different testing this morning. Below I tried from the WAN and I was able to get video no problems.
