I made a few small changes to your original PlayWith.py, most notably I added in some filters to remove regex characters from the filename by using "import re". I also changed the file output to show a regular date/time using strftime. This is the section with the changes:

Code:

# Play with your own preferred player and paths
if url:
    name = "%s = %s = %s" % (channel,title,time.strftime('%d%m%Y-%H%M'))
    name = re.sub("\?",'',name)
    name = re.sub(":|<>\/",'',name)
    name = name.encode("cp1252")
    filename = xbmc.translatePath("C:\Users\Kodi\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\Recordings\%s.ts" % name)
    ffmpeg = r"c:\utils\bin\ffmpeg.exe"
    cmd = [ffmpeg, "-y", "-i", url, "-c", "copy", "-t", str(seconds), filename]
    p = Popen(cmd,shell=False)

If you're looking at AutoPlayWiths again I have noticed that the "Clear AutoPlayWiths" option in the settings doesn't currently work. I did look at it once over but couldn't figure it out, for some reason "Clear AutoPlay" works fine but I couldn't see any real difference in the options.

Make sure you can play the stream normally in its own addon.

Check if another addon will play. I always use iPlayer WWW to test but pick one that you have access to in your country.

If you get stuck pm me with some more info and I'll see if I can help.

There are still a few unicode problems that I'm coming across and trying to fix.

lets say I have an EPG channel "bbc1" and have already mapped a stream to it, if I have the addons.ini file present containing "bbc1" as well and then perform the action above, it will overwrite previous stream mapped. I would actually want the option to add it as alternate stream without going through the whole "c, stream setup, browse, choose addon and then only choose stream" procedure. Would this be possible?

Thanks in advance.

I have a xml channel list in livestreamspro addon. So if I use the addons.ini creator and export it and then go into TVGF and click on "bbc one" it will open without me setting up the stream seeing that it exists in addons.ini and matches the EPG channel name. So now I exit and subscribe a different xml channel list existing inside livestreamspro and overwrite the old addons.ini containing also "bbc one" but its a different link to the old one. So now if I go Menu \ Alt stream (not menu \ Stream setup \ browse for addon \ choose stream \ save stream) as this is too tedious, I want it to ask me to add it as alternate stream and not overwrite my previous selection

If they match the previous entry in the table then just the channel name will be updated. No new entry will be created.

What happens when channel id match and url is different? This is my issue....

Edit:
Ok maybe I don't understand how addons.ini is used by the addon. Is it read every time a channel is started to see if it must update the database? What I'm really asking is a way to import stream urls all at once. So initially I use an addons.ini containing stream names and urls that match the EPG channel names to import it into the database. I then delete the addons.ini and put another there with same channel names but different urls. I now want to import them as secondary (alternate streams). If at all, how can I accomplish this - either one by one by clicking on Menu \ Alt stream or another way doing all at once?

If you want to force the match you can use a mapping.ini file or M3U file in
Settings \ Optional \ Channel Mappings

When you run the guide a template file of all the channels is created in:
userdata\addon_data\script.tvguide.fullscreen\channels.ini
You can fill the streams in there by hand and rename it to mapping.ini to load in the Channel Mappings.
