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.

You can't atm

Technically not a video plugin. Under addons, go to "enabled addons" and then "PVR Clients" and it's listed there. So it is a PVR client still, but doesn't require the traditional TV backend.

You can't atm, I don't plan on adding support... Since it's redundant...

How is it redundant? Makes sense to be able to access Live TV channels in PTVL, no? You already support that function thru the "Find PVR backend" option anyway, right? And you support USTVNOW in PTVL also.
