Hi all thanks for all the input and such a great fork,
Just have a question I have looked and cant find someone who has the same issue. I am trying to add hdhomerun however being in Aus its extremely hard to get a working xmltv file, so I have made strm file which contains my hdhomerun channel and have tried to point to the smb// address as an internet stream, these work fine in xbmc when I select them manually however when I try to add them in ptvl it wont even compile the channel playlist (there is no channel). Can someone point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate.

If you're not using xmltv (chtype8). Use Chtype 9, follow example in post 2

Thanks for such a quick reply. I have tried channel type 9 :

Code:

<setting id="Channel_87_type" value="9" />
<setting id="Channel_87_1" value="5400" />
<setting id="Channel_87_2" value="smb://openelec/strm/ABC1.strm" />
<setting id="Channel_87_3" value="ABC1" />
<setting id="Channel_87_4" value="ABC1 Local Broadcast." />
<setting id="Channel_87_rulecount" value="1" />
<setting id="Channel_87_changed" value="True" />
<setting id="Channel_87_time" value="0" />
<setting id="Channel_87_rule_1_id" value="1" />
<setting id="Channel_87_rule_1_opt_1" value="ABC1" />

this still does not work, when I rescan channels it over looks it completely as it does when I use chtype 8.
My strm file works fine when I manually open it in xbmc:

Code:

hdhomerun://1110660C-0/tuner0?channel=t7qam64:662500000&program=705

I have futubox channels in .strm format in same location and they work fine in ptvl

Thanks again for the help, I'm sure you are busy.
