@phunkyfish: my IPTV Provider support "play from beginning" and "pause" for their channels.
I´d like to ask you, if there is any way, how to play these streams with iptv simple client. Live stream and catchup works perfect, many thanks for that.
But I don´t know how to play the live stream with possibility to pause and rewind back to start of current programm (if I missed the start of live programm). I can´t use the setting in iptv simple client "Play from EPG in Live TV mode", because the live stream, catchup stream and timeshift stream has different url.

Live stream looks:
http://path-to-stream/live_channel_id.m3u8

Catchup stream looks:
http://path-to-stream/vod_channel_id.m3u8?start=1634481240&end=1634486700

Timeshift stream looks:
http://path-to-stream/timeshift_channel_id.m3u8?start=1634481240

So question is, how to play timeshift stream with iptv simple client. What do you think, is it possible or not?

Hope you understand what I mean, my english is not perfect.

Many thanks for answer.

Regards

Is it only the current live program that you timeshift back to the start? So it’s likely catchup but only a very small window?

Yes, Is it only the current live program that I can pause or rewind back to the start. It doesn't matter if I miss 10 minutes or 1 hour od the current live program, with this stream I can rewind back to the start. After the finish of the current live program, I can use catchup.
But if I disable option "Catchup only available on finished programmes", It doesn't work because of different stream URL.
Hope I described it as you need and understand.
Regards.

You would need to disable that option and also set up a separate channel for the other URL.

Thanks you very much for your help, I set as you suggest separate channel and it works.
