Can't load playlist from remote server

[FezVrasta]

I'm trying to load a playlist from this URL but it doesn't work:

Provided playlist files are invalid, missing or empty, check the log file for more information

The log is:

The playlist is provided by a small Express.js app, if I run it locally everything works fine, it doesn't work only when I run it from a remote server (now.sh).

Ideas?

[Cigaras]

I can not reproduce this. I opened Plex server web interface, navigated to the IPTV plug-in, openeded the preferences, replaced my playlist with https://m3uparser-xkeguhsiok.now.sh/test.m3u, clicked Save, then Reload playlist and got the Success message.

However I do not like warnings I see in the log so I committed a fix 5cefb59, please download this non-release version 2.1.1 and check maybe it fixed Your issue.

I still get the same error unfortunately.

I tried to host the same app on Heroku and on OpenShift and they both work, the only difference I'm aware of is that now.sh makes use of HTTP/2

[Cigaras]

If I look at the file https://m3uparser-xkeguhsiok.now.sh/test.m3u via browser it is a valid m3u file. Plex log shows no issues it it either, Response: [200] MediaContainer, 437 bytes indicates that request was successful, got 437 bytes of data in return, and it works for me with no issues, so there is something wrong with Your network or web server setup and I can not help You.

If it helps, I'm on macOS 10.12.4. If any additional info can help diagnose the problem please let me know.
