Good evening, i use iptv on kodi
My iptv channel list has a lot of on demand film. If I play one of those i can't work on the time bar, can't fast forward and can't pause it.
Why? Is possible to activate it?
I tried same channel and same film with another iptv player ad it is possible
Best regards
Thanks

I think it won't work since the addon reports to Kodi that it doesn't support timeshifting. That's why the pause button etc. is greyed out.

You can't, the addon doesn't support it. If you want to be able to pause things you can't play the link through the IPTV simple client, you'll have to play it some other way.

The IPTV Simple and HDHomeRun PVR clients do not have timeshift, because they do not have a backend.
Kodi does not handle the timeshifting itself, this is something that must be implemented in the PVR backend. Therefore, if you want to timeshift, you need a proper backend.

Timeshifting is a function of your TV software, not Kodi. Kodi is a media player, not a TV PVR. That is why you need a PVR backend to handle recording, timeshifting, &c. Your PVR backend handles all of the TV related tasks, and the PVR client/addon simply presents that information/media to Kodi.
If you want software with integrated TV functionality, then look into MythTV, SageTV, NextPVR, MediaPortal, &c.

There aren't really that any choices of backends that can be installed on Android. Tvheadend is available but I think it's still an unofficial port - to be honest I haven't followed that development lately.
