[QUOTE="SwissBuster, post: 1066072, member: 78168"] I want to watch TV from a website such as FilmOn, and I'm sure there must be a simple way to do what I want, but I haven't found it. I watch TV via a satellite feed which works fine except when a heavy storm rolls in and cuts the signal. It would be great to have an alternative to watch TV via an internet feed, also for channels or TV shows I can't normally receive. The way I picture this would be a set of channels ("Internet TV") saved as a channel group in My TV - when the storm rolls in, I just switch TV Group and move over to Internet TV. This would also make the EPG simple as it would use the same grabs as my satellite TV. Note that I do not have IPTV - I would just use TV feeds from a webpage such as FilmOn ([URL='https://www.filmon.com/tv/live'][U]https://www.filmon.com/tv/live[/U][/URL]) or Swisscom TV: [URL='http://web.tvonline.swisscom.ch/#en/'][U]http://web.tvonline.swisscom.ch/#en/[/U][/URL] I figured this would be easy but can't find a way to do this in MediaPortal: 1. As I understand it, IPTV channels in TV config need a particular format that I don't receive. So this solution is out. 2. I tried the OnlineVideos plugin. This seems to work well for downloading videos, but I couldn't get FilmOn streams to load. 3. Just displaying a webpage within MP. This is a poor solution as navigating the page would be difficult, so I haven't looked into it yet. Searching the forums didn't bring any answers. Has anyone done this?
