CDVDInputStreamPVRManager::ThisIsAHack - MatthewLundberg - 2017-05-18
ThisIsAHack looks like a hack and sounds like a hack. But it works.
It is the easiest way for me to request that Kodi call back to the PVR to get the stream URL. I need this behavior for the next iteration of the HDHomeRun PVR code.
Is this planned to be deprecated? Perhaps a flag could be used to instruct Kodi to perform this callback. The HDHomeRun PVR code can be adapted of course, but I'm wondering about the time frame.

Follow-up.
This is indeed deprecated. This hack rewrites strStreamURL, calling into the PVR with GetLiveStreamURL.
