IPTV issue getting channels from url (2 Viewers)

[Sawilliams33]

Hello I'm attempting to add a paid iptv provider to MP1 or mp2 using provided url.
The url format is: http://ky-iptv.com:25461/get.php?username=SXXXX&password=XXXX&type=m3u_plus&output=ts

I save this url to a .m3u file save. I find it on list, but no channels are loaded. Any help please.

can you pm me the logs (pm because they contain your uname+password) so I can see what the exact error is?
It might be that you have to install MPUrlSourceSplitter and configure it correctly...

I have the same problem, maybe the best solution would be to add the URL as in all IPTV players I have seen, like MyIPTV, IPTV Smarters, Perfect Player, Tivimate.
Regarding the very high quality of the MediaPortal TV server, I guess that adding the same functionality as in IPTV players is not impossible.
I hope that Playlist URL and EPG URL can be added, and handled as splendidly as everything else in MP.

Any news on that idea? Is that even possible?

I did a small bit of investigating but the scanning process returns quite a bit of info (pmt,networkid,is_audio,is_video etc). Don't know what info exactly is needed for adding channels to work, but whether the stream is audioonly (radiochannel) or also contains video (tvchannel) sure is amongst it.
Have to do some more testing to see what info can be faked, and what info the user needs to provide when adding channels

Just checked, and it at least needs a valid PMT PID and NetworkId.
Really don't know if those are constants for m3u8 streams in general, or that they may differ between providers.
My provider gives me a PMT PID of 4096, and a NetworkId of 1.
Can you share yours? And anybody else following this thread too?
Edit: perhaps a possibility could be developed that scans the first item and uses that info for all other channels?

You have my m3u playlist on pm so you can use it

Try NextPVR, works great with IPTV. If EPG is not complete, you can go to iptv-org there, you can choose country and find almost all TV channels. NextPVR is really great, but I use MediaPortal for my DVB-T. You can use NextPVR also for your DVB-T, but I got EPG for jsut until next day. There is a fix for that, but I do not bother enough to leave the also excellent MediaPortal.

Yea II think Media Portal sucks for Live TV no documentation for the MediaPortal2 version , just bread crumbs that are mostly obsolete info. The documentation is far from complete for IPTV channel integration , at least the docs I can find.

This is at least my third attempt to install and figure out live TV in Media Portal2 but still no joy for any IPTV integration.
