No longer able to stream channels on 5G outside home WiFi Network

[panman91]

So I recently installed the latest docker version of TheTvApp and for whatever reason I can no longer stream any channels over 5G. If I switch my phone back to WiFi I have no issues whatsoever. @dtankdempse is there something with the new docker image or is there something wrong with my mobile app? I am getting a request time out message.
Again, I am using IPTV Live for iOS. Is anyone else running into this problem?

Is it possible that your script is modifying all of the URLs to point to my local internal ip address for the channels?
If I connect using a internal VPN connection to my home network it works as well.

@dtankdempse It appears that my theory is correct, is there a reason why the channels are setup this way? Can you change it back?

This is what it used to look like:

#EXTM3U url-tvg="https://tinyurl.com/tta-epg"
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="A.and.E.US.-.Eastern.Feed.us" tvg-name="A&E" tvg-logo="http://schedulesdirect-api20141201-logos.s3.dualstack.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/stationLogos/s51529_dark_360w_270h.png" group-title="Entertainment",A&E

Compared to this now:

#EXTM3U url-tvg="https://tinyurl.com/tta-epg"
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="A.and.E.US.-.Eastern.Feed.us" tvg-name="A&E" tvg-logo="http://schedulesdirect-api20141201-logos.s3.dualstack.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/stationLogos/s51529_dark_360w_270h.png" group-title="Entertainment",A&E

I can’t change it back. TheTVApp stopped using tokenized URLs, and now a thetvapp_session cookie is needed to get the decryption key for the streams. Since your IPTV player doesn’t pass these cookies, proxying the stream is the only way to make it work.

Based on the LAN URL required to feed these cookies to the player, and it works inside your LAN environment you have 2 options.

1. Open up the port on the Firewall/Router and Port map it to the machine running docker if behind NAT. But this will create some security risk potentially.
2. Setup a VPN server on your Router/FW and use a VPN when on 5G to connect back home, that way it sees you as internal device (like when on Wifi), and can reach the docker address.

Hope that helps.
