Req Http live stream as channel/service
#1
Hello,

There is some possibility to add iptv service as channel and service on tvheadend. But I can't see any way to add "normal" http stream. For example, live tv like this: http://stream.smcloud.net/live2/eska_roc...ylist.m3u8

I wanted to add this to my tvheadend channel list to get it listed together with all other xbmc dvb-t channels. But it seems to be impossible. I only need it to be reemited to xbmc, without any transcoding. Optionally with epg added from xmltv service.

What do you think about functionality like this? Of course, still I can play it with xbmc directly, but it's not convenient too much.

Tvheadend 3.4 only supports UDP/RTP multicast sources while the current master branch supports HTTP too. HLS is not supported though, neither are all other "not really real IPTV" formats.

You could take a look at the IPTV simple plugin. You can use two addons in XBMC.

There is something weird here, I compiled and installed pvr addons with simple iptv included there. But I can't see this plugin in xbmc plugin management (Settings, Plugins, Disabled plugins) .

Should I use some other version and install it separately?

@giaur: you have to configure with --enable-external-dependencies or something like that in order to actually compile the IPTV addon.

There is a patch that implemented http input on tvheadend v3.4. So your input url must be plain MPEG-TS stream but not HLS as in your example Tvheadend v3.9 already contains custom MPEG-TS Input and you can try to setup pipe for HLS stream.
