Connecting to HTS Failed!

[nenadalm]

Hi. I configured the plugin via

• Tools/Preferences
• Show settings: All
• Search: htsp
• HTSP Protocol/Connection (there I configured address pointing to machine on local network)
• Save

Then I restarted vlc (as without it it didn't work) and went to

• Local Network/Tvheadend HTSP

but the playlist is empty

$ vlc -vv
