Read a thread on installing iptv simple pvr addon but every time i try to install it, it says dependencies not met. I know you are supposed to compile it somehow using visuall c++ but i dont understand how to do that part. if someone could please help me with that i would really appreciate it. sorry I know its supposed to be simple but i am new to this.

Thanks in advance for your help

IPTV simple is included in Frodo 12.3 and in latest Gotham version. You select it while installing XBMC, and you enable it under addons.

Works fine here.

Hi Maniac,

Thank you for the reply. I am currently using Gotham version but I dont see it when I install XBMC, probably my mistake i will goo look into it right now and let you know.

Again, thanks for the reply.

[Daki]

Actually, Maniac which one do you recommend? Gotham or Frodo 12.3? Those either work better with iptv simple or are they both the same?

Thanks

Ok newest version of xbmc installed and and iptv simple enabled as well. When I add my m3u list, everything loads and all the channels show up when i go over to live tv. When I try to play any channel it starts to load and then nothing happens. Why would this be happening? Im guessing my m3u list is not set up correctly?

[Maniac]

Yeah it might be how your m3u is set up or perhaps your streams don't work with xbmc.
Please read this post on how to set up your m3u file: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1339559

[Daki]

Yeah I am looking at that post now, and it looks like its the m3u file, I think. I am trying to set it up correctly in notepad++ but I am not too good with it but I will see if it works.

Thanks

OK so I played around with it for a little bit and this is what I got to:

#EXTINF:-1,Sport Klub HD
http://STREAMURL

Is that fine? or does it need to be like this:

#EXTINF:-1 tvg-name="sportklubhd" group-title=Sport Klub HD
http://STREAMURL

Or is that wrong too? Am I at least close? hehe

Thanks

[Maniac]

I guess it's more like this
#EXTINF:-1 group-title="Sport",Sport Klub HD

group-title is the grouping of the channels, like a category (Sport, movies, music ect).

[Daki]

got it i will try it out

[Daki]

Nevermind, I guess my stream can't be opened through XBMC for some reason.

Thanks for your help

There is an existing thread for this addon. And in either case, no one can help you unless you post debug logs (wiki).

[Daki]

Yes I know I looked through the existing thread a few times already. And i talked to afedchin about my list problem and gave him the debug logs and he looked through everything, and after testing my stream, he concluded that for some reason xbmc is not accepting my stream but he could not figure out why. If you want to give it a shot I can send you the debug log. let me know

Just post the log here, maybe someone who knows can tell you what the problem is.

@Daki,

I'm investigating a similar issue with some streams that XBMC can't play. Some European providers use a technique called "Shared PMT" that cause problems with PVR add-ons and using XBMC directly.
If you can, please post the debug log. We may work together to help solve the issue.

More info about this particular issue: https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/4264

As an example, this doesn't play with VLC (nor XBMC, for that matter)

Code:

#EXTM3U
#EXTVLCOPT--http-reconnect=true
http://192.168.133.77:8001/1:0:1:32B:24:36:CE40000:0:0:0:

This does play with VLC but not XBMC

Code:

#EXTM3U
#EXTVLCOPT--http-reconnect=true
#EXTVLCOPT:program=811
http://192.168.133.77:8001/1:0:1:32B:24:36:CE40000:0:0:0:

This issues affects streams in Germany, France, Poland and Portugal but may occur in other countries.

I'm currently testing Vu+ PVR add-on (importing the channels, not using +.m3u files) and IPTVSimple. Both can't deal with these streams.
