I tried putting Xteve in front of Jellyfin and it's the same problem - no audio on Ch 9 streams while all other channels played OK (on the Mac).
Sounds like ffmeg can't decode this particular stream's encoding for some reason.
So my workaround is to run the iPadOS/iOS client on the Mac instead of playing it via the browser.
This is working fine - probably because as you pointed out it's avoiding ffmeg.

If I ran Jellyfin on a Raspberry Pi just to do IPTV streaming and used the iPad client, I presume the Pi also won't need to do any remux and will just hand the stream to the iPad Jellyfin mobile software to do the decoding?
