Hi,

i am really happy that this pvr addon is getting maintenance again!

I just encoutered a problem with it anyway.
I started using some IPTV-channels that are inside an m3u. I can convert this file to a bouquet without any issues and I am able to watch these iptv channels on the box as well as on DreamPlayer on my phone and on AndroidTV.
Kodi seems not to be able to play these channels though. It does load some seconds and then just does nothing when attemting to play one of those channels.

Then I thought, I might just use IPTV simple client and add the m3u to it directly, so I would have two pvr backend addons active at the same time.
Since this m3u features channel groups, and I have several bouquets on my enigma box, this is not working.

When I initially set everything up and delete the data of Live TV & PVR in Kodi, all channels and groups form both Enigma and IPTV simple are visible and i can use them just fine.
But after the next fresh start of kodi, IPTV simple seems to just overwrite all the bouquets of enigma and I do not see a single channel from the enigma box, only the IPTV simple channels show up.

Anyway I am not sure if this is related to kodi, to enigma2 addon or to IPTV simple addon. 
I thought the easiest would be to just manage the DVB and IPTV channels in seperate bouquets on the enigma box.
That's why I wanted to kindly ask if it is possible to make kodi play these IPTV channels just like DreamPlayer and the enigma box itself does.

Regards
Hendrik

Ok, you’ll need to provide some more info.

Do you have some test feeds I can use to debug it? A full debug log would be good too.

Also, if you use any illegal addons I won’t be able to help.

BTW, lots of people watch IPTV through enigma and it work just fine.

Hi
I will provide you a log tomorrow

The feeds are password protected so it could get a little harder. I'll find something.

There are no illegal add-ons in connection to this setup.

Could you just tell me where I enable the log you need and what to do?

Regards!

I assume these streams all work ok from your STB just not via the addon?

EDIT: you clearly stated it does work on the STB in your above post.

Yeah right, it works on the STB itself and it does with DreamPlayer ATV DreamPlayer on Android and with VLC and MXPlayer on Android.

The difference there is that these clients get the link to ts-stream directly while kodi seems to only get the service reference. The reference though seems to be the same on every feed of the m3u I imported, this does not affect the other clients though, not even the STB itself.

Heres the Kodi log from attempting to start an IPTV stream until kodi gives up:
https://paste.kodi.tv/qajiruyuke.kodi
Here you can see kodi is trying to play: http://192.168.0.24:8001/4097:0:1:9CB:63...0000:0:0:0:

The source path shown in VLC and MXPlayer on the other hand is http://providerserv.er:XXXX/live/username/passwort/xxxxx.ts, so the direct path to the original IPTV-stream.

When I access openwebif and try to play the feed on a pc with vlc (from the stream button in OWI) the generated m3u8 looks like this:

Code:

#EXTVLCOPT--http-reconnect=true 
#EXTINF:-1,BBC One HD
#EXTVLCOPT:program=2507
"http://192.168.0.24:8001/1:0:1:9CB:63:27:FFFF0000:0:0:0:http://providerserv.er:xxxx/live/username/password/xxxx.ts:BBC One" 



This in fact does also not work. VLC is not able to play from this m3u8 file.

I could not find a free feed that I could send you to test for now. If I find one I will give it to you.

Maybe it would be possible to also request the plain URL from enigma2 when the reference does not work.

Cheers
Hendrik

The STB api’s will only understand service references as far as I’m aware. But I’m sure other users have this working.

Are VLC and MXPlayer playing the feed via Enigma2 or directly using an M3U8 file not generated by the STB?

[phunkyfish]

The debug log you posted is not much good. I need the full log, not just a snippet.

[phunkyfish]

Which plugin are you using for IPTV? Doing a quick search there appear to be many out there.

I use no plugin at this point.
Just enigma2 plug-in with IPTV as bouquet on STB
When I would delete the IPTV bouquets from STB and use IPTV Simple the enigma2 plug-in gets kind of disabled by it even though it's active, I can't access channels nor groups of enigma2. But this is not what i was on about.

The tests I did were with the m3u8 that comes from openwebif. So they do it through enigma and not directly from the provider playlist.

Ok so you need everything from starting Kodi to trying to play a channel that is IPTV and until it reaches the error?

[phunkyfish]

Yes, everything from starting kodi please.

[phunkyfish]

If the M3u8 does not work in vlc how do you run it there via the enigma2? One post says it works via vlc and other says it doesn’t.

[phunkyfish]

What’s the output of:

Code:

http://<your-STB-ip>:<port>/web/getservices

[phunkyfish]

Then take the service reference if you IPTV bouquet and add it to this query and post the output:

Code:

http://<your-STB-ip>:<port>/web/getservices?sRef=<your-iptv-bouquet-service-ref>

[djneil]

It works on VLC for Android when the stream is started by DreamEPG app. On windows started through openwebif VLC does not play it.

What’s the output of:

Code:

http://<your-STB-ip>:<port>/web/getservices

Services XML looks like this: https://paste.kodi.tv/fowahuhide
All sRef values are the same? So when I do

Code:

...?sRef=<your-iptv-bouquet-service-ref>

it only every gives me my first dvb bouquet not the iptv one.
