Is there PVR client allows to play or live stream a "non m3u" live TV ? if no, how do I include https in the kodi to launch it ?
There is a mechanism in NextPVR to record any URL that ffmpeg, vlc or other utility can transcode to mpeg ts via stdout.   If the URL is not direct play you would need to create all the cookies, tokens, key files and credentials that you would need to pass to the utility since I suspect that is your problem, not https

Thanks for your great advise, I am found a post which was mentioned about, by creating a .strm file and include direct URL-link to play, does it works ?
"non m3u" doesn't tell us much, what is the format of your url?
Yes, if you are asking can you have an https URL in a strm file.

Hi Martin

Assuming strm file allows me to key in the HTTPS URL of a Live TV, and this is not a m3u, do I just type the URL in the strm file ?

How do I run or launch the strm file ? do you mind share me some steps

thanks for your great help

Hi, what I meant was a Live TV, in which URL is not ended with M3U, it is a https URL, any clue to run it ?
If you can't describe your problem, then, you'd better to upload one (or more) photos.

Yes just type it in and save it in the video library.  You access the strm file through the folder in the Kodi video library.

Yes I got that, but you still haven't even told us what your url does end in, 'a https url' still tells us absolutely nothing.

Ok. These are two websites with live streaming tv channels.
And? What is your problem?
The TV SUKAN channel?
It will probably be temporarily closed.
I still don't understand you...
What do you exactly want?

He wants to play the streams from those websites in Kodi.

Creating a strm file wouldn't work, someone would need to create an addon to scrape the links and play them in Kodi, or you would have to somehow extract the direct links yourself.
