I want to share a bit of the latest project I am working on.
Here in Germany, there are (at least) 32 additional internet channels supplied by the public TV stations. There is no permanent program on them, they are used for streaming local events, concerts or sports. They are streaming multiple streams of football matches at weekends (3. Liga and lower), which are not popular enough to show them on a FTA channel. If there is a large event, the TV stations might show different camera perspectives (Champions league) or parallel sub-events (Olympics).
I've collected the url of every stream, so that they can be played via the IPTV PVR add-on. There was no source for EPG data, so I've wrote scrapers for (at this moment) half of them. They can poll the channel websites to feed a xmltv EPG. I could reuse some of my "Mediatheken" scrapers to to that.
The currently supported channels:
ARD Event 1
ARD Event 2
Arte Event 1
Arte Event 2
Arte Event 3
BR Event 1
BR Event 2
BR Event 3
BR Event 4
MDR+ 1
MDR+ 2
MDR+ 3
WDR Event 1
WDR Event 2
WDR Event 3
WDR Event 4
Current EPG sources:
http://sportschau.de/ticker/index.html - EPG for the "Sportschau"
http://br.de/mediathek/video/livestreams-100.html - BR EPG
http://mdr.de/CONT/xmltojsonp/output.php?plus=1 - MDR+ 1/2/3 (HbbTV source)
http://concert.arte.tv/de/upcoming - Arte concerts
Planned sources:
http://ndr.de/sport/live/index.html - NDR Event 1-3 (no streams atm)
http://www.hr-online.de/website/fernsehe...brik=24064 - HR Event 1-2 (sport)
http://rbb-online.de/rbbsportplatz/index.html - RBB Event sport
http://swrmediathek.de/content/live.htm - source for SWR streams (I hope to find a better one)
http://www1.wdr.de/fernsehen/rockpalast/...index.html - WDR streams of the Rockpalast (pretty much unusable)
There is also support to add recurring programs manually (like news for the hearing impaired on MDR+ 1).
I will upload a channel m3u and an EPG in the next few days. If you have an account at the kodinerds forum, you could get a preview from there: https://www.kodinerds.net/index.php/Thre...en-Sender/.
The current implementation is not complete. There might be other programs on channels like ARD/WDR Event. If you have a suitable source, please tell me.
