Is it possible to get IPTV Simple Client to play acestream urls?
RE: acestreams? - Ned Scott - 2015-05-07
Nope. Acestream is a method of using p2p protocols to play videos back. IPTV Simple Client only works with basic video streams in a playlist. Something would need to work in between the two for it to work.
RE: acestreams? - utuxia - 2015-05-07
Well I have the p2p-streams plugin which seems to load acestreams from their parsers ok. I was just wondering how I can link to an acestream from my addon or from the PVR. It seems to be possible, as I see other addons like SportsDevil linking to `acestream://<hash>` links.
RE: acestreams? - utuxia - 2015-05-08
So this works in a normal addon:
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:0,NBA TV
#EXTVLCOPT:network-caching=1000
plugin://plugin.video.p2p-streams/?url=92aa826fc0cc486827755c1cd7f2f9d86e5e926f&mode=1&name=NBA+TV+2
But not in IPTV Simple PVR
RE: acestreams? - afedchin - 2015-05-08
All PVR addons (not only IPTV Simple) doesn't support links like plugin://. This is PVR system's limitation.

That would be an awesome feature, loading the plugin like that.

I'm working on a way to get them to play using iptvsimple. Well, it doesn't really use the pvr addon (nor any plugin:// paths) since the time needed till we have a playable url can be a bit long for the http request timeout. So basically I'll have an http server in python running since startup and by calling a specific url through iptvsimple it will trigger p2p-streams and let's you play the stream through the live tv on kodi. Same for sopcast (below is an example):

That is really some fine work enen92.
Let us know if you need testers. The "http server in python" you mention here, is that a service-addon in Kodi or a separte entity outside Kodi?
RE: acestreams? - enen92 - 2015-05-11
It's a service addon, more precisely, p2p-streams itself using a service extension point (that can be disabled by the user). Those are quite trivial to do in python. See here for example:

The same can be applied easily to other plugins. Except to those with rtmp links, couldn't figure out a way of redirect the http request to the rtmp stream.
RE: acestreams? - afedchin - 2015-05-12
The new version 3.1 beta2 of ACE Stream Media and later support local HTTP "proxy". To get stream over HTTP you need open a link like following
Code:
http://<engine_address>:<engine_port>/ace/getstream?id=<content_id>RE: acestreams? - Maniac - 2015-05-15
engine_address & engine_port are those ip and port of a server\pc that is running acestream?
RE: acestreams? - afedchin - 2015-05-15
I think so. Here is more info
