Thanks, I've done so.

What you implemented in the branch is fine for me and would do the job nicely. I can see the Captain's point about some sort of lock, but I share your view that it's not especially necessary for what I had originally in mind.

Hi guys,

When watching live streams, is there a way to show the name of the programme being watched when pressing "i" ?
This works for catch up but not for live.
Or maybe there is another keyboard shortcut that does this?

thanks

There is no schedule information at all in this addon, just the station name. There are some great TV Guide addons around that can provide the schedule and launch this addon's live channels.

[bluezone]

thanks primaeval,

would you be able to recommend one, please?

I integrate the live tv channels in pseudo tv live. really really easy.

thanks primaeval,

The official Kodi one is http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:TV_Guide but needs an xmltv source for uk tv. You can use mc2xml to generate the xml. http://mc2xml.hosterbox.net/

Renegades TV Guide has UK TV and iplayerwww channels built in. There are some more like FTV Guide and iVue. Google "kodi tv guide" to get some links.

[DarrenHill]

Just be a little careful on some of those later ones. Some are part of banned add-on (wiki) setups, so whilst their individual use is OK the full setups would violate our forum rules (wiki).

Thanks for the suggestions guys.
Tried the official TV Guide - grabbed EPG data in xmltv format which loaded into the add-on fine.
However, for some reason, I am not able to point the channel to the live stream.
'Setup stream' page does not show the iPlayer WWW add on as possible selection.

Anyone managed to get this working?

Iplayer WWW: 2.1.3
TV Guide:2.1.1

Anyone managed to get this working?

I don't know what TV guide you are referring to but as a work around if you save each BBC channel as a favorite, the guide should let you choose to point to your favorite.

@bluezone - you can't get much easier than adding it to pseudotv live with the context menu add-on. http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=244889

install the lunatixz repo, install pseudotv and it will install the required dependencies.

open iplayer www, go to watch live, open context menu, export to pseduotv

enjoy

[bluezone]

thanks bry-, I managed to get it working with the favourites as suggested by OTinley.
@otinley - thanks for the workaround!

Here is a list of the iplayerwww tv and radio channels that can be added to the TV Guide ini file.
It should be located in addons\script.tvguide\resources\addons.ini

The names probably won't match up correctly to whichever xmltv file you are using so you have to choose the correct stream.

The other guides I mentioned have a setting for a custom ini file.

One day I'll see if I can find the radio logos.
I'll see if these channels can be added to the official TV Guide if they work correctly.

PseudoTV Live is a bit of a beast. It took me about half an hour to work out how to pull up the epg.

If you want a small xmltv file with just the channels you want I recommend using WebGrab+Plus.
This is what I use.

http://www.webgrabplus.com/

The installation seems a bit complicated but it can be quite simple if you know the important steps.

• Grab the program, update and siteini files from http://www.webgrabplus.com/download
  
• Install the program (install.bat in windows). It installs the program in a weird place by default. (c:\programdata\servercare)
  
• Install the update.
  
• Unpack the UK folder from the siteini pack to where you installed the program.
  
• Edit the WebGrab++.config.xml file. Do not rename it!
  
• Add your channels from the *.channels.xml files you just unpacked. I think RadioTimes works ok but experiment.
  
• Run the WebGrab+Plus.exe program.
  
• Add the program to your Scheduled Tasks. Check how often you need to run it (read about <timespan>).
  
• Load the generated xmltv file into Kodi's TV Guide.
  

[primaeval]

Here is an example WebGrab++.config.xml similar to the one that I use:
If you match the channel names to the addons.ini file TV Guide should find the channels automatically.
<timespan>1 gives 2 days of epg. I schedule it to run once a day. This gives me a guide for today and tomorrow.

Code:

@bry- Could you give us a simple step by step guide to getting PseudoTV Live setup with iplayer and an epg.
