Hello @primaeval. Good news. It seems to me that you never rest, lol. Good idea, I think it has a future. So there goes my feedback. Firstly I think if possible to use the OSD of the PVR Client, which has the buttons for Guide and TV, otherwise it looks like a video addon. And besides not showing the channel logos the channel name appears with the filename. That's it for now, there's another thing we'll be leaving later. Good job, have fun, lol.

I don't think it is possible to use the PVR overlays because this addon just plays the addon streams as if they were played from their own addons. You would need extra support from Kodi to be able to stream the addon's stream data directly to the PVR. You might be able to do it by creating a Kodi backend that always redirects the video output to a network stream but that is much more complicated than I have the energy for. At least you can press the Fullscreen button and get back to the PVR dialogs with the video in a small window. Lunatixz said he knew how to do it but he didn't want to share the magic.
I'll have a look at linking the icons and stream names.
If the addon stream urls don't change much you can always link directly to them in the m3u. You can find them in kodi.log when you play a channel.

Well, I already imagined that it was so difficult otherwise you would have done it, but never mind, thanks for the answer.
RE: PVR Plugin Player - Play Addon Streams in the PVR - primaeval - 2017-01-23
@Hinkel I had a look at the icons and it is totally up to the addons you link to whether an icon is displayed and if they output the correct channel name.
If you create the m3u yourself with the stream urls from the kodi.log file you can specify the icon and channel name but that's not what this addon does. That has given me an idea for a new addon though.

Hi Primaeval,
great plugin
I'm not able to import channels from xml, could you share a sample of how the file should be?
Thanks

It pulls the channels in from an xmltv formatted file.
They get imported here
https://github.com/primaeval/plugin.video.pvr.plugin.player/blob/f80afad2c890a3219385eb80194eee53e22766e5/main.py#L182
with this regex:
Code:
'<channel.*?id="(.*?)">.*?<display-name.*?>(.*?)</display-name>'http://wiki.xmltv.org/index.php/XMLTVFormat
RE: PVR Plugin Player - Play Addon Streams in the PVR - proncio - 2017-02-13
Got it working, thanks!
I try one more request: would it be possibile to assign a m3u link as a folder? That could possibly autoupdate the channel list at each kodi reload... it would be my dream

version 0.0.5
- Update Channels Service
See if this is what you want.
When the Settings \ Service Timer runs you can optionally clear the Channels and reload them from a file or url.
RE: PVR Plugin Player - Play Addon Streams in the PVR - proncio - 2017-02-13
Wow thanks!
Surely useful, but my aim is to autoupdate the sources for the channels, not the channel list - this could be possible with m3u links as a root source, and not files.Now the source folders for PVR Plugin Player can be defined only starting from other addons, in such a chain:
M3U Link/File --> XML File --> Video Addon --> PVR Plugin Player --> SImple IPTV PVR
I'd like to shorthen the process, which involves in my case many manual passages:
M3U Link/File --> PVR Plugin Player --> SImple IPTV PVR
That should probably involve autodecoding the m3u links in the xml format and calling f4m, or something similar...
If this was possible, keeping the channel list on "search" mode, each time the source m3u is updated, the source for the channels in the tv will be updated as well, and a channel that was not working yesterday maybe today will, with no manual action
The only condition is that the source m3u link is fixed a fixed path, but this is perfect, also considering that it would be great to add multiple m3u links as folders
Am I dreaming too much?
RE: PVR Plugin Player - Play Addon Streams in the PVR - primaeval - 2017-02-13
I think you should be able to do that with my Playlist Player addon.
You can add a bunch of playlists to that and then add those folders to this addon.
RE: PVR Plugin Player - Play Addon Streams in the PVR - proncio - 2017-02-15
Sounds great! But I need to process the m3u through f4mtester first, so usually I first manually convert the m3u in xml to process the ts link through f4m, add that xml to LSPro as source, then add LSPro folder as source for Plugin Player
Can Playlist Player automatically process the m3u through f4m? Sorry I don't have a list now so I can't test. tomorrow will
RE: PVR Plugin Player - Play Addon Streams in the PVR - proncio - 2017-02-21
Mmm... it seems it doesn't
I'm struggling to find a plugin which
1. reads .ts streams from a m3u web link and plays it with f4m
2. autoupdates at every reload/time frame, or doesn't cache the m4u content
I've found plugins that do the first part, but not the second - you have to manually press an update button.
Anyway, with your plugin I'm really close to obtain my dream tv, so thanks in any case ^^
