Full Version: Channels with the same SID and StreamID are not playable in Kodi
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
My Iptv provider has 65 channels with different SID but 7 with the same SID. In dvbviewer the 7 channels are playable well but in Kodi I only see one. If I change the SID, the channel names appear in Kodi, but they do not work.
My back-end is Dvbviewer-RS.
Any solution ?

P.D. forgive my english
Your English is fine. Have you asked your IPTV provider about the inconsistency in SID values?
My provider is movistar (spain). In my contract only distribute the channels with her receiver.
The PVR does not care about or even read the SID. It only reads the channels from the DMS and passes them to Kodi.

Make sure the output of the DMS API lists individual channels: http://<dmsip>:8089/api/getchannelsxml.html?fav=1&subchannels=1&logo=1 - If it doesn't it might be a bug in the DMS
This is the list of channels with I have problems

All have the same backend ID. I don't think this is correct. The backend ID is passed as channel parameter for both Live TV and timers.

Apart from that I don't see reason why you should only see one channel.
Ok. Thank you. I will ask for support in the Dvbviewer forum.
I found this Same Channel ID in favourites.xml . I will try.
Yeah, that looks like the solution to your problem. Edit: Reading the text, upgrading to DMS should also just work. It will be required after Leia anyway.
