Is it possible to get IPTV Simple Client to play acestream urls?

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.

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.

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

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.
