i'm using IPTV Simple 1.8.0 in xbmc alpha 7. I've an issue when i try to update the m3u playlist. I'm trying to update my playlist adding and modify channels but it seems that the addon doesn't read directly the file but loads from cache or something like that. Actually, I modified the file, but updates are not visible on channels list screen.

Can i solve this issue?
Thanks

Every time you do a modification in the channel list or epg file, you need to go to Settings > Live TV > Reset EPG database

This is true only if you use 1.8.0 or earlier.

Also actually, I'm trying to work around the "plugin://" thing, since I can't make it work. Instead of using a plugin, I made a php script to generate a stream link, with all the authentication and session id and whatnot. It's the same thing basically. (I mentioned this a few post back, but I understand how it could be missed in the pile of posts). The link I generate is just like the plugin's, but I can't find a way to send it via IPTVSimple.

To recapitulate:
1) At home: Apache server with php. (192.168.1.120)
2) On that server: iplayer.strm with php script. When accessed, a link is generated. (The link works, I tested it)
3) In the IPTVSimple playlist:

Code:
#EXTM3U #EXTINF:-1 tvg-shift=0 tvg-id="I56.2080.microsoft.com" tvg-name="BBC_One" tvg-logo="bbc_one" group-title="UK",BBC One http://192.168.1.120/iplayer.strm
4) ? ? ?
5) Profit? Well, not right now.

depending on how long the session in your link is valid for, one option might be to run the php script on your server via a cron job and substitute the the link in your iptv-playlist with the contents of the generated .strm file instead of pointing to the .strm file itself. of course you'd need to reload the pvr channel list/restart xbmc every time the link changes and is replaced in the iptv-playlist.
i'd only suggest using this method if the cron job only needs to be run every 2-3 hours or more, otherwise the update/restart intervals might become a bother.

Hi, I'm doing a test to use a small stb (amlogic A9 CPU) running linux (linux buildroot 2.6.34 armV71 GNU/Linux) and XBMC 12.

I installed iptvsimple (pvr.iptvsimple.1.6.1.zip) but it could'nt be enabled and prompt up message "An unknown error has occurred. Add-on could not be loaded"

Can anyone help? Thanks!

You need compile addon for arm v7 arch.

You need compile addon for arm v7 arch.

Better cross compile it withing the buildroot tree and not natively in an armv7 device running full distribution as you will encounter glibc errors when trying to load the addon in XBMC.

I believe you could find the proper patch for adding IPTVSimple for the buildroot withing the TLBB git branch at J1nx's Github account.

~~j1nx~~ · 2013-09-17, 18:21

The Frodo PR has been accepted, so any Amlogic cross compile should be able to pull it in.

peterwg · 2013-09-18, 14:50

tried arch linux and compile add-on but didn't work, same problem again!
"ERROR: Unable to load /root/.xbmc/addons/pvr.iptvsimple/XBMC_IPTV_Simple.pvr, reason: /root/.xbmc/addons/pvr.iptvsimple/XBMC_IPTV_Simple.pvr: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64"

will try buildroot compile later.

**dhead** · 2013-09-18, 15:04

Is "ELFCLASS64" relate to 64bit ?
Did you build it on x86_64 without cross compiling ?
If so then you might want to read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_compiler

~~j1nx~~ · 2013-09-18, 16:30

What you could do, because I do not have the time to properly help you out.

1) Download a TLBB firmware
2) Extract the firmware and try to get what you need. Maybe with the help of this;http://www.pivosforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=2951

**dhead** · 2013-09-18, 18:31

Thanks J1nx.

@peterwg,

Try this https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6902...-armv7.zip

If it tells you something like "Wrong Structure" then sftp to your device (FileZilla would work) and copy the extracted addon to /root/.xbmc/addons
