Yes I know! One single stream will not work since the name changes (the name of the live tv/internet tv source) and the link created from the plugin will eventually not work since the name changes.

i.e. In ESPN case it shows as "ESPN1 - Sportscenter". But when another show is on then the link created will no longer be valid because it will change to "ESPN1 - Show Name" for example. I hope I'm explaining right. Sorry. LOL. I have this issue with live tv channels in PlayOn because of this. There are only some channels that don't do this.

ahh, IC thanks for the info...

Yay. I explained it better. LOL. Yes. This will create problems for LiveTV/InternetTV from PlayOn. It would be ideal but PlayOn doesn't name them the same all the time. As I mentioned only a few channels would work in PTVL where they don't scrape metadata on what's now. I'll let it be know to PlayOn staff and see what they tell me but like I said, the only solution for now would be to create our own channels where the names stay the same.

Also I do see the problems the user is having with those channel types not working. I'm unable to get them to work right now as well. I've tried both channel types and as mentioned, it either crashes, or channel will just go up one as expected. I'll post log for you to have a look see in the bugs thread. The link does work directly in the PlayOn Plugin but not when loaded in PTVL. You can always message me if you need further testing.

Yes this is exactly the issue I am having, I have tested on channels that when you just select Watch Live from the source it does fine but like he said ESPN1- SHOW TITLE includes the channel and show playing but it doesnt update as frequently as I would like and when it does the link name changes.

Ideally I would like to be able to have an ESPN channel that when I select it from the guide to plays whatever is streaming live via PlayON, if possible I would like to make an ESPN2 and ESPN News channel as well showing just the stream from that channel. Then if possible I can pull the XMLTV info for that channel in the EPG. I would really like to set it up for all the live channels that PlayOn offers and then I will have seperate channelse for the other on demmand channels playing older content.

Thank you very much for explaining this better than I could and thank you Luna for taking the time to help troubleshoot.
