I setup Jellyfin recently to look at moving away from Plex. The only thing I still need to get working well is live tv. I pay for 5 lines through my IPTV provider, however, I can only watch one channel at a time. When someone is watching live tv on one channel and someone else loads up live tv on a second channel, it kicks the first person out of their stream with no error message. This doesn't happen if person #2 is watching the same channel at person #1.
I've tried multiple clients, JF Web (multiple computers, using both Linux and Windows), phone (jellyfin and swiftfin app), AppleTV (swiftfin app). I've made sure all clients are the latest version. I've re-installed the server. I've tried multiple settings with transcoding and multiple m3u settings such as auto-loop, allow stream sharing, ignore DTS and Allow fMP4 transcoding container. Simultaneous stream limit is 0 but I've tried setting a number and it still didn't work. I've tried to force transcoding of remote media but none of this has worked. I checked the logs but nothing jumped out to me as an error. I did try enabling debug logs via the documentation, the logs provided were collected with that setting enabled. I am able to have simultaneous streams in IPTV Editor using their web app for watching the IPTV but not in Jellyfin. It also looks like all clients are using either direct stream or remuxing which (correct me if I'm wrong) I believe would not use transcoding on my server.
IPTV Setup:

Jellyfin 10.10.7 (installed via this method)
