Is it possible to have XML EPG data with direct plugin? still trying to use chtype 8 or 9 but they wont work at all. Only direct works for some odd reason but i want to add EPG data for the stream.

unless theres an obvious error here

<settings>
<setting id="Channel_#_type" value="9" />
<setting id="Channel_#_1" value="5400" />
<setting id="Channel_#_2" value="plugin://plugin.video.sportingstreams/?url=rtmp://vdn.sportingstreams.net:1935/live+playpath=channel1?s=MBXrf+app=live+live=true&mode=30&name=Channel+1+-+Sky+Sports+1" />
<setting id="Channel_#_3" value="VevoTV" />
<setting id="Channel_#_4" value="Sit back and enjoy a 24/7 stream of music videos on VEVO TV." />
<setting id="Channel_#_rulecount" value="1" />
<setting id="Channel_#_changed" value="True" />
<setting id="Channel_#_time" value="0" />
<setting id="Channel_#_rule_1_id" value="1" />
<setting id="Channel_#_rule_1_opt_1" value="VevoTV" />
</settings>

try that stream in a .strm file and see if it works cause it does not for me so that may be your problem.

Its a subscription service so it needs auth with username/password via the plugin. The link was taken directly from using the plugin and adding the direct media file to the channel to favourites. Clicking it in favourites works, just never as a chtype 8 or 9 in PTVL unfortunately.

Well, for one, try replacing "#" with an actual channel number?

Haha nice, stupid oversight by me lol cheers. Was late and i was trying too hard. Still i tried the plugin:// link in a strm file also with no luck. I also fixed my stupid error.

I get a new issue now tho, it would also explain why i have an issue playing USTVnow

WARNING: CreateLoader - Unsupported protocol(plugin) in plugin://plugin.video.ustvnow/?name=ABC&mode=play

WARNING: CreateLoader - Unsupported protocol(rtmp) in rtmp://vdn.sportingstreams.net:1935/live playpath=channel12?s=MBXrf app=live live=true

Main issue seems to be this error here tho.

Direct plugin now nolonger works for me, creating the channel it hangs, the log just repeats this over and over;

I think you are confusing using a pluggin link with the new chtype which parses a plugin. Read post 2

It was disabled while I tested a few things, I will reenable in the next update.

Sorry if this was already addressed, I have not been able to download your USTVnow from the link in post 1. is it down or is this an error on my end. I am using Chrome on a Mac Pro running OSX 10.7.5 if it helps.

Yeah I know what the new chtype does. I have tried using the plugin link in internetTV and liveTV channel types yet i cant get it to work at all. I found a workaround was to use the plugin type to parse all the channels within the plugin as they are stored like any other media types in plugins and then exclude all but one which i wanted to dedicate to the channel. This worked perfectly with the first iteration of the directplugin chtype but with the new updates it no longer does :S

if you get the right strm info it will work in chantype 9 that is a lot easier then using this work around your trying to use lol.
just remember if you put the info into a .strm file and xbmc won't play it, neither will ptvl.
