Selecting SID in M3U streams - Piotr.pot - 2015-01-03

I have a problem with playing some "shared PMT" channels in Kodi (streamed from Enigma2 OpenWebIf).
For example VLC will play them only with a special playlist with metadata in it.

The metadata looks like this:
Code:
#EXTM3U
#EXTVLCOPT--http-reconnect=true
#EXTVLCOPT:program=947
http://192.168.1.92:8001/1:0:1:3B3:2F:36:CE40000:0:0:0:
where the 3rd line is essential and where 947 is the decimal equivalent to the hexadecimal 3B3 number
This metadata was recently included in the m3u created by the later versions of openwebif (after May 2012 I believe) in order for VLC to play "shared PMT" streams.

Unfortunately #EXTVLCOPT:program=947 is ignored by Kodi and the stream cannot be played.

I think this is a problem with Kodi (probably DVDDemuxFFmpeg). The PMT includes all programs of the transponder, but the current version of dvdplayer always use the first program of PMT, so it can play only one channel of the transporder. Is there any chances to figure it out? Thank you.

It's a big problem, we can't watch many channels by VU+/Enugma2 plugin, please fix it as soon as possible.

Unfortunately Kodi developers ignore this problem from a few years.
