Hi guys so I configured my Fios TV via HDHOMERUN prime by creating m3u playlist and using iptv simple client. It's super comfortable! how can I use this playlist to stream sometimes when I am away from home?

the m3u has UPNP addresses on the network. Let's say I want to watch my fios tv when I visit my GF. My connection is plenty fast it's 75/75 (cloaks at 84 mbps / 92 upload) I understand that 1080p can use a lot of data but that won't be used everyday just from time to time.

What would be the best way to do this?

PS. My home client is Amazon Fire TV , outside home Fire TV Stick. I will be also traveling in few months and will prob buy another fire tv stick or fire tv and leave it in Europe.
If you forward the right ports to your HDHomerun from your router, and change the UPnP addresses to use the HTTP API, then it should be possible. The format of the HTTP API is something like this:

Code:
http://<ipaddress>:557/auto/v<channelnumber>

The actual port number on that address might not be 557. If you do a port scan on your HDHomeRun then you can probably find the right one.

i know I just realized you replied 1 month later but how can I change upnp addresses to use http api?
I am planning possibly to bring fire tv stick with me to europe and would love to stream some of my live tv over in Europe from time to time.

How would I configure this in Kodi with the channel number IP address? thanks Smile
Find the saved playlist file and edit it with a text editor. path subs (wiki) might also work.
ok I got it work with strml file with my external IP it does stream Smile what would be safest way so no one catches my IP number and starts to using a lot of my data?

what would you recommend? besides me remotely logging in and turning off hdhomerun ports each time I want to stream it outside my home.

Thanks!

This method works great from phone using VLC. (just typing in the webaddress for the channel)

I need to figure out how to edit the channel settings in Kodi so I can see a guide.
