Req Converting multicast UDP format to IPTV Simple PVR m3u on LibreElec

I know there must be a simple solution , but can't seem to find it after a lot of online searches !

I am on an Amlogic 905* TV Box running LibreElec/CoreElec 9.0.0.*

How can we stream from the multicast udp formats eg, UDP://@ip:port in an m3u file with Kodi setup for IPTV Simple PVR here?

I know the m3u format should look like:

http://192.168.1.1:4000/udp/ip:port

But how do I configure the http part in Kodi? Is udpxy auto configured in Kodi or PVR Simple ?

Is there a way the http ip:port are kept static?

Edit: Just saw this:
https://github.com/afedchin/xbmc-addon-i...imple-Home

Seems to say that the native UDP://STREAMURL format works. No need for above http conversion?

Can someone confirm? I seem to have trouble with the native format.

Thanks 👺

I cannot confirm or deny UDP with PVR Simple IPTV Client.

Typically with multicast, you want to use a backend and frontend. Kodi is the frontend. Look into TVHeadend for example.

Yes I know TVheadend can generate multicast UDP which can be received by HTSP PVR in KODI.

So you are saying that the backend also ought to be in control of the entity receiving playback?

Aren't multicast UDP streams generated by IPTV providers, to be used by clients? Or do we need to set up passwords and other credentials to receive multicast UDP?

Is there any test multicast UDP link I can use in VLC or KODI IPTV PVR?
