@afedchin,

If you're planning a future breaking change like the one introduce in v1.9.3 (the logos filenames), then please consider adding a version tag support for the m3u so IPTVSimple would know how to parse the m3u correctly, as my playlist is shared with friends and family.

It was the first and last time. I'm very sorry but it's has been needed for implement support the remote logos and logos with different extentions.

Just started using this fantastic add-on again now that I've upgraded to Gotham. I was wondering if there was support for plugin:// internal addresses for the m3u? I know it was out of the question awhile ago but with everything that's changed is it possible at all?

I'd love to be able to integrate ustvnow with XBMC's native pvr system.

Is not possible to use url like plugin://. This limitation of PVR functionality.

Is there really no way to enable stream pausing and recording?

Without backend is not possible.

Hi afedchin.
Thank you very much for this addon. Made my expat life much easier

I just have one question.
On the PVR setting I can set the timeout. My streams load very fast, so I set the timeout to 2 seconds.
But I guess that is not working... whenever a stream is missing, It is trying to load the channel for a long time... and I can't hit the back button or anything to stop it. And have to wait.
Apart from this everything works perfect.
Do you have any idea on how I can set this timeout?

Thank you.

With the title of member of Team XBMC I axpact from you to improve PVR data base general for all PVR.
My opinion is that the DB is very old and urgent You must do something to impruve this part of XBMC.
I try to compile XBMC with new Fild in DB ...Always got error in line 102.(Same error in original master XBMC)
This is my request,please create ticket for this threed

Is your stream multicast i.e. url starts with udp://?

it would be great if you could create an issue at http://trac.xbmc.org Then @xhaggi will consider a possibility to implement this.

Hi afedchin,

No, all the stream urls are rtmp://

Thanks,
Best regards

afedchin, how can i set timeout on a udp stream?

I have some problems with this addon. I tried to add radio channel. So it's my m3u file:

Code:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-name="Antyradio Warszawa" radio
http://ant-waw-01.cdn.eurozet.pl:8602

I can see this channel in my radio channel list, but name is invalid. Instead of "Antyradio Warszawa" I have "Channel 1827983736". What's wrong?? I use latest addon version and latest xbmc Gotham.

Wrong !!!! radio not tv
This will help you....

Code:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1 group-title="Radio" tvg-logo="Radio.png" radio=true, Antyradio Warszawa

Is it possible to set backup streams via the m3u file? When using "TV Guide" addon and .strm files, I could specify multiple streams in case one failed. It would be nice to be able to set a backup stream for this PVR and if the first one fails to load after X seconds, it falls back to use the second one instead.

Has there been any progress regarding this?

[ctsouri]

Ok here we go This addon works great for internet streams. The russians are genious

This is the format of the .m3u file that I use (thanks to Sajk for the find)

Code:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-name="bht1" group-title="Ex-Yu",BHT 1
http://STREAMURL
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-name="tv1" group-title="Ex-Yu",TV 1
http://STREAMURL
...

- tvg-name is supposed to map the channel to EPG value in the epg .xml file, if this fails, it will use the channel name (last value)
- group-title is channelgroup name
- the last value is the channel name, this is important! I use this name to fetch: epg and logos. It is written the same way as in the EPG file and the logo filename. (e.g. "BHT 1.png")
Also very important (if you are using channel name to map epg) that there are no spaces after coma!

This is just a snippet from the epg file. It is generated by webgrabplus. The way I see it, it maps the tvg-name from m3u, to the channel id in the epg file.
If that fails, it maps channel name from m3u to display-name, to find the correct EPG

Code:

<channel id="bht1">
    <display-name lang="hr">BHT 1</display-name>
</channel>
<channel id="tv1">
    <display-name lang="hr">TV 1</display-name>
</channel>
...
<programme start="20130215080000 +0100" stop="20130215081500 +0100" channel="bht1">
    <title lang="hr">Vijesti</title>
</programme>
<programme start="20130215080500 +0100" stop="20130215083500 +0100" channel="tv1">
    <title lang="hr">Red magazin</title>
</programme>
...

Please, someone compile this addon for iOS (ATV2)

So actually first we create the .m3u file, put the link in ipvr simple and then create the xml file and put it in the epg?? I know it might be stupid questions but i m kinda newbie on this!!

Thanks in advance!!

[Maniac]

@ctsouri: If you just want it to work, you only need the .m3u file, the .xml file is for EPG only. I recomend you to read afedchins post rather than mine: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1339559

First of all thanx to the guys behind these great add on...

Secondly i would like your help since its been 2 days now of searching testing and a lot of trial and error.

I installed the iptv add on succesfully, i created the playlist also succesfully, i also have 40-50 playable channels but my main problem is with iptv playlists i download from other sites. Even though XBMC succesfully reads the names of the Tv Stations,the channels themselves wont play. It seems that the links in the playlist appear to be in the wrong format. I tried everything, but i could not find a common pattern to use in my links to make them work.

For example:

''#EXTINF:-1,UK Sports BT ITV BBC option 1

rtmp://$OPT:rtmp-raw=rtmp://37.220.34.18:443/liverepeater playpath=20724 swfUrl=http://97ff0e7e610f20512dbe-483e6ce63d68aeb3d05af6c054efb801.r29.cf1.rackcdn.com/atdedead.swf pageUrl=http://1cdn.filotv.pw/stream1.html token=#atd%#$ZH
''

I removed the first ''tmp://$OPT:rtmp-raw='' but still nothing. This is a very common format i find and i haven't yet been able to find a fix to the links.

or even:

''#EXTINF:0,NTV + Football
http://195.245.120.10:1690/udp/239.0.0.97:4000''

still doesnt work ...

Question 1: Is there a certain template to create or modify the links we get from other iptv sites?
Question 2: Is there a database of playlists somewhere that other xbmc iptv users might all ready have shared their own working playists? Or maybe someone can point us to a valid website with XBMC iptv functioning playlists?
Question 3: What is your prefered method of extracting a stream from a website? I used a sniffer tool but it not very consistent.Is there a better more reliable way ??

For example this site here: http://www.sat-universe.com/showthread.p...03&page=10
is FULL of iptv links but 95% of them do not work on xbmc iplivetv no matter how many changes to the links i may have done.If we could have a converstion tool (given that the links i provided are ok ) then we could have endless channels on xbmc.

Please help me... Thanx in advance ..

I guess your m3u file need to look like this:

Code:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-name="btsport" group-title="Sport",BT Sport 1
rtmp://37.220.34.18:443/liverepeater playpath=20724 swfUrl=http://97ff0e7e610f20512dbe-483e6ce63d68aeb3d05af6c054efb801.r29.cf1.rackcdn.com/atdedead.swf pageUrl=http://1cdn.filotv.pw/stream1.html token=#atd%#$ZH
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-name="ntvfootball" group-title="Sport",NTV + Football
http://195.245.120.10:1690/udp/239.0.0.97:4000

The first one works in Simple player, but the last one does not.

I was looking for a solution myself and I think I found a way to do this. You need a top-level and a second level m3u file. Here is how it works. First you make the second level m3u file in which you put all the links pointing to the same channel for instance like all the streaming links to BBC 1 (I never watch BBC but then everybody knows what I am talking about). You put the link with the highest resolution you like on top and work your way down to the one with the least resolution. Off course if you're smart you only take links that you know work most of the time. You call that one m3u file BBC_1.m3u" and store it somewhere where you can link to for instance your NAS with FOR INSTANCE ip-adres 192.168.1.107. Then you make the top-level m3u file in which you put the link to the second level m3u file. The line should read like this; http://192.168.1.107/BBC_.m3u.
It's a lot of work but this should work.

Good luck!

It is not possible because addon doesn't open a stream, so it doesn't know that the stream is failed.
