TiViMate Can;t Record some channels - don't know why?

Hi all i am a novice to iptv.- and recently discovered tivimate.
I have tried to find online post solutions...but no success. I have a list of free and legal streams (these are all FTA in Australia such as channel 9 and channel 7), and as far as i know, not geoblocked. I use Tivimate on my Shield pro to watch these and the m3u8 streams all play fine. BUT some channels can be recorded and some can not be recorded.
I am at a loss, because all are the same m3u8 type.
I have read about ts files and hls (which i dont really understand about).
Can anyone give a bit of helpful advice...i mean do i have to change the format of the m3u8 to ts? Or something?
Fyi: ALL software is up to date also. No geoblocks and all streams are freely available. - Just Tivimate is not initiating the record.
Appreciate any help

have you tried using different media player? change default media player in TiViMate app and see if that helps.

hmm seems odd though. its not geoblocked. Do you know if that m3u8 is convertable to another m3u8 format

also cosmidvr is able to record from that stream

you can not convert stream. whatever comes from server that is what you get.
