Use plugin:// as channel - CoYoTr - 2015-04-28
Hi!
I have youtube links to live channels.
Was trying to make them work in a m3u file, but no success. Looks like IPTVSimple only manages direct streams or m3u8 playlists
Any way it support, ie, plugin.video.youtube/play/?video_id=cyOU1tX664Q as a channel?
This can be really usefull, there's a lot of live feeds reacheables only via plugins like youtube one.
Thanks in advance

PseudoTV Live can do this

I know! But i cant get it to work smooth.
So, i decide to use SimpleIPTV as my frontend. The simplicity in the interface is great.
Thats why i ask for this feature.

This is imposible to handle url like plugin:// in the pvr part of Kodi.
RE: Use plugin:// as channel - CoYoTr - 2015-04-28
ok! Thanks a lot for the explanation.
Great work with this PVR client. Thanks for this great piece of software (KODI in general)
Best regards,
Alejandro

But I think its possible to turn youtube link to m3u8 format just look out for it on google.

miszczu: thanks a lot for the idea!
Finally, i get it to work. Jumping in google, i locate a way to get the stream m3u8 of a live channel in youtube. Leave the info here.
I use (under ubuntu) livestreamer
Here is the channel i want (its an open air channel in my country, not an illegal link)
The origin URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyOU1tX664Q
in console, with livestreamer, simply putting (note 240p is the selected resolution of the channel, can be changed)
Code:
alejandro@alejandro-MS-7388:~/Escritorio$ livestreamer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyOU1tX664Q 240p --stream-urli get
Code:

Conclusion:
Looks like the stream is allowed to my actual ip, but, if it not change, stream works perfect.
Thanks all for your answers, and i hope this info can be usefull to anyone.

CoYoTr, you should get better results with livestreamer and VLC restream abilities.
First, install VLC:
Code:
sudo apt-get install vlc
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extrasThen run this code:
Code:
livestreamer --player "vlc --file-caching=2000 --loop --sout=#gather:std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=:8090/americatv} --sout-keep" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyOU1tX664Q 480p --player-continuous-httpAND the path to this youtube stream will be:
http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8090/americatv
