Hi,
If this is the wrong forum section please feel free to move it.
I currently maintain the kodi pvr addon for Enigma2. Recently users have requested support for IPTV via their Enigma2 devices. The support I added is simply to extract the IPTV URL from the stream URL if they have the IPTV provider set up in a bouquet on their E2 device.
This works OK, however as the URL is just passed to kodi they only have two options on playback, Stop and record (on the device). The addon can't offer timeshift as it's doesn't handle the stream directly like regular DVB channels.
Should it be possible to treat an IPTV stream just like a DVB one so the experience can be consistent across both DVB and IPTV?
Note, I am only working with users who use legal providers and provide zero support to anyone acting illegally.
Thanks in advance.
