Using OSMC on raspberry pi 2.

I followed LINK EDITED OUT BY MOD to add http://daserste_live-lh.akamaihd.net/i/d...aster.m3u8 .
All went fine up to step 8.
No matter how many times I reboot, no TV option appears .

I logged on using ssh.

In .kodi/temp/kodi.log I found

it cannot find the m3u list, because of that is not appearing live tv, try with another m3u list

I don't think you're going to ingratiate yourself with forum mods by linking to a website that is violating Kodi's IP as well giving instructions on how to access live pirate streams....

I believe you need to put the .m3u8 file into a .m3u file - they're not the same.

needs to look like:
