MERGING MediaPortal Url Source Splitter & IPTV Filter (4 Viewers)

[felix_clerc]

Hello Gregorius,
Sorry for the late reply...
My problem is that the m3u file I received from my ISP looks like this:


#EXTINF:0 tvg-id="TF11.kazer.org" tvg-logo="tf1.png" group-name="TNT" ,1. TF1

http://s.tv.kwaoo.net/1/play.m3u8

#EXTINF:0 tvg-id="FRA2.kazer.org" tvg-logo="france2.png" group-name="TNT" ,2. France 2

http://s.tv.kwaoo.net/2/play.m3u8

#EXTINF:0 tvg-id="FRA3.kazer.org" tvg-logo="france3.png" group-name="TNT" ,3. France 3

http://s.tv.kwaoo.net/3/play.m3u8


If I open the first m3u8 (for TF1), I get this:


#EXTM3U

#EXT-X-VERSION:3

#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:11

#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:27835

#EXTINF:9.680000,

http://s.tv.kwaoo.net/1/play27835.ts

#EXTINF:10.360000,

http://s.tv.kwaoo.net/1/play27836.ts

#EXTINF:9.440000,

http://s.tv.kwaoo.net/1/play27837.ts

#EXTINF:9.880000,

http://s.tv.kwaoo.net/1/play27838.ts

#EXTINF:10.120000,

http://s.tv.kwaoo.net/1/play27839.ts

from within edge, it just plays live tv.
From vlc, I can play live tv from the source m3u file

From tvserver, it cannot detect anything...

Any suggestion?
TIA,
Félix

As I remember tv server doesn't like extended info in playlist except #extinf and channel name.

As @Edalex wrote, the ISP playlist must be changed for TV service. TV service doesn't support extended info in #EXTINF tag.

Hello,

Thanks for the hint, I removed all the extra stuff from m3u, and everything imports fine now. I just noticed that it's quite slow in terms of channel switching, and that it works on 1.12 with the addon, but not in mp2 with tve 3.5.

I'll dig a bit and will report

Hi @georgius
Could you help me with understanding log from your previous IPTV filter from 2012 (I'm on 1.3.0 so I can't use new filter from this thread)
I have m3u8 link in playlist. It's not p2p tv and not connected to my previous question several psots earlier. Here's where filter stopped

Yes, m3u8 is supported only in new filter.

The playlist in url is master playlist, not media playlist. Support for master playlists is not ready yet - it needs some logic in choosing correct stream.

Is there any way to use (what seems to be) a constantly changing online M3U8 playlist? I'm trying to add the Classical Arts Showcase online stream ( http://www.classicartsshowcase.org/watch-classic-arts-showcase/ ) as a DVB-IP channel to Mediaportal. I've managed to create a .m3u file using VLC that loads the 720p stream in VLC or MPC-HC, but can't get it working with Mediaportal.

From the webpage source code, I've extracted the following URL's. The second one links to isma audio and ismv video files which I think are what the Silverlight player uses.
http://cds.d3r6a3c9.hwcdn.net/live/smil:CAS.smil/manifest.f4m
http://cds.d3r6a3c9.hwcdn.net/live/smil:CAS.smil/Manifest

There's also a file at http://cds.d3r6a3c9.hwcdn.net/live/smil:CAS.smil/playlist.m3u8 (also at a few different filenames). Every time I download it, the contents changes, however it links to 5 different chunklists (for different resolutions), such as:
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=3064000,RESOLUTION=1280x720
chunklist_w530897341_b3064000.m3u8

The chunklist contains links to .ts files.

http://cds.d3r6a3c9.hwcdn.net/live/smil:CAS.smil/chunklist_w530897341_b3064000.m3u8 loads fine in VLC, and a m3u file like below loads fine in both VLC and MPC-HC:
#EXTM3U
#EXTVLCOPT:network-caching=1000
http://cds.d3r6a3c9.hwcdn.net/live/smil:CAS.smil/chunklist_w530897341_b3064000.m3u8

Is there any way to use this stream (either the isma/ismv or the ts version) with Mediaportal? Also, does anyone know why the URL keeps changing even though the old ones seem to keep working?


Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello, I am french as some of you and I have Free as Internet / IPTV provider and use MediaPortal TV Server + Kodi as frontend.
I have read at least half of this thread but I sill can't figure out if I should use the plugin "Mediaportal IPTV filter and url source splitter" and why.

For now I was simply using the standard "scan for channels" under "TV Servers" DVB-IP with free.m3u list, then I was doing some cleaning, numbering of the scanned channels and was then using it in Kodi.
Everything is working fine so I don't catch what is the exact use of "Mediaportal IPTV filter and url source splitter"
