In previous version of Kodi I was able to playback channels with their Kodi URL (typically in recent versions pvr://channels/tv/All channels/pvr-addoname_ichannelID.pvr) in an STRM or directly with the python player but in v18 these methods don't work?
Is there a new way to call the PVR live TV playback outside of the PVR GUI?

Okay, I think I understood what the problem is. Gimme some time to come up with a fix.

If you need anything let me know. The strm file that I test with is just the pvr:// url that shows in the logs when I play a file. It is backend specific but yours should be determined from this line
CInputStreamPVRChannel - CInputStreamPVRChannel::OpenPVRStream - opened channel stream pvr://channels/tv/All channels/pvr.nextpvr_8938.pvr

Thanks for having a look. I don't need this to work it just seems the current implmentation is wrong. I might investigate a bit before I create the issue.
Thanks again getting this working from python was my main item and you did that.

Thanks I thought since I can call them from python they might also go through substitution logic. I was going to look into getting strms working again in v18 but substitution would actually be great.

Pretty sure the same strm file works in v17.

I did check yes, I have python code that calls the same URL and it didn't change and it still works after ksooo's change for v18.1
