Help using Directv with Kodi - dougheclipse - 2017-05-10

Hello.
I have searched everywhere and have been unable to find an answer. I have a Raspberry pi 3 model b. Im running newest version of Kodi on it.I have access to a legit paid Directv account. If I go to Directv website i can watch shows there no problem. I am trying to find out if there is anyway i can add maybe the url that i watch Directv with on my desktop, to Kodi so i can watch the shows in my bedroom on my Raspberry pi. If this is not possible, maybe some help with another pvr. I set up the easy pvr and downloaded an m3u playlist, pu tit on a flash drive and pu tin my Raspberry pi. It loaded all the channels but im not getting any picture or sound. Is this because its a Raspberry pi? I am having the hardest time getting the tv function to work.

Ok so I still haven't figured out a way to get my DIRECTV account to kodi, but I did figure out what was wrong with the pvr. The m3u list I used was bad. I got a new play list and it kinda works. It has over 600 channels and I got maybe 5 channels to work and the guide shows the channels but not what's on. I'm pretty sure I'm getting crappy m3u files. If I can't get my DIRECTV to work is there anywhere to get good working m3u for the USA? I'm not trying to get something free, I'll pay a fee if I can't use my paid DIRECTV subscription, I'll still pay for another service. I just want to watch tv on my raspberry pi.

No way to get direct TV at the moment. Best bet is psvue.

Ok well ironic enough i also have a psvue account already lol. How would i add that to Kodi? Its not a reaL big deal as far as psvue goes though cause i have it on my Roku on same TV. I do have to swap inputs and launch it though so it would be nice to have it inside Kodi.

You could try this... http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=312858&highlight=psvue

Getting DirectTV streams from a website is not related to http://kodi.wiki/view/PVR in the context of Kodi, so this is the wrong sub-forum.

You want to move this discussion to Video Addons sub-forum instead => http://forum.kodi.tv/forumdisplay.php?fid=154

only way to watch directv via kodi is with chrome launcher and linking the channels

I have a Directv CHOICE account and I've been looking into getting some use with Kodi. Although there is no Directv GO equivelent addon for Kodi, I have been able to use my credentials to access a couple of sports channels with kodi addons. You do need to have a free online DirecTV account.

1. Fox Sports GO: Install from Kodi Reo, run and follow dialog instructions to activate.
2. ESPN3, all ESPN channels and premium content: Install from Kodi Repo, run and follow dialog instructions to activate.

These addons offer additional benefits: The FS1 NASCAR race allows me to switch between in-car cameras, ESPN has a replay library, etc.

If I find any other addons that work with the Directv account, I'll try to post them.

Does anyone else have any?
