[Possible Feature Request]

I use the IPTV Simple backend for my PVR. As such, my xmltv file resides online. But I can't enter a remote path in PTVL, only local. Is there a way to include an option for a remote path for this? Or is there already a way, and I just don't know it?

Not true, about local only... there is code to handle xmltv over http... but you are the first to mention it, so test away.

instead of putting a xmltv name in setting3, put the full http of the xmltv file... so for example:

Code:

<setting id="Channel_#_type" value="8" />
<setting id="Channel_#_1" value="I60159.labs.zap2it.com" />
<setting id="Channel_#_2" value="hdhomerun://xxxxxxxD-1/tuner1?channel=qam256:399000000&program=2" />
<setting id="Channel_#_3" value="http://somewebsite/xmltv.xml" />
<setting id="Channel_#_4" value="" />
<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="NY1 Live" />

Hmmmm...guess maybe I'm confused about the whole process. I use the IPTV Simple PVR addon, which acts as a front end with no backend required. But when autotuning with "Find PVR Backend" selected, I get no channels...likely because my Live TV doesn't have a backend. How do you Autotune an iptv-type listing? I'd rather not do it manually...there are over 100 channels.
