Don't think the pause button function is working with all streams..perhaps would have to cache the stream to hdd or something similar..never worked for me anyway even with the PVR.iptv simple patch mentioned above..

Ok managed to do it..thanks..Don't think is working ok tough with my setup...pvr.simple works better despite harder to organize channels..had few errors with tvheadened like "no free adaptor" and "no signal" but not on all channels...also noticed that there is no working wheel before the start of a stream..the rest works fine.anyway removed it now and back to simple client.

Currently it is hard coded ip addresses in the addon, but it is a small addon, and I will be adding settings to enable setup of custom ip addresses (like the encoder IP, port this addon runs on, etc).

I have some thoughts, one of which is to poll Channels DVR via API to see if anything is currently accessing the Video Encoder, and if not (after a delay to account for re-connects, etc), to auto close the stream in kodi itself. So while experimenting, remember to shut down stream manually in Kodi when done

@kcshield Thanks, keen to this give a whirl. I'll try Kodi on my macOS machine using Matts Kayo add on as that's my primary objective. Let you know how it goes
@tree2369 IPTV merge is supported by Matts Kayo add on although he has been trying to resolve an unrelated issue with Kayo which I think he is making progress.

@kor yeah I used to use it to combined his AU iptv streams with Kayo and Binge for a pseudo-Foxtel box - but felt like kodi would always crash on my shield - so moved to Kayo for channels..until they put drm on the streams.

I'm still working on this, looking into best way to shut down kodi "playing" when encoder is no longer serving a client, as well as more features, tracking multiple ports (though will only need one kodi to have addon, as others can be remote controlled as needed from the single one).

I will also be testing stability, but part of this comes down to the device(s) used to run Kodi, as well as Kodi version and and the specific Video Addon itself, and I only have accounts for Hulu currenlty, but since this feature should pick up any setup via IPTV Merge, other should be able to test.

Near the end, it mentions default passwords for Telnet to these boxes, and I can confirm I have Telnet access now to the Encoder (looking to see if there is a "Safe" way to use Telnet to ID which client(s) are currently using the encoder stream(s)).

Since it uses HULU (though any IPTV merge capable addon should work) for kodi and not TVE, you will be limited to # of concurrent streams if you setup more than 1, so I would limit to the DRM channles you can't get via TVE.

After I test multiple devices, I have plans to add functionality so that virtual channels could be added , via this addon, for example activate a directory for HULU (or other addon), whereby the VOD entries could be auto merged into the m3u8 along with fabricated EPG data on a random (or other) selection of programs available, in this way, you could record programs not available on the live channels, but instead via VOD using this addon

I've been waiting for a fix for Hulu to test myself, so have not yet tried more testing. But this addon is very simple and very little code. I would think it should run fine in any kodi install, but let me know if you have any issues.

I got Hulu working for Kodi (submitted PR, so not yet working for all). I can tune channels (including paid HBO via Hulu) and have setup multiple recordings to begin testing my Proxy for this project over the weekend.

It was a bit hit or miss, due to Fire TV Stick crashing the Kodi App. I did mange to get a couple recordings, so this addon itself seems to work well so far (and maybe other Services via Kodi with "IPTV Merge" capabilities would not be a crash issue.

I have modified my fix for Hulu on Kodi (waiting on any official merge to Matt's Addon), and it seems to have helped with Fire TV not crashing so far, so continuing to test for now with more scheduled recordings.

@matthuisman Is there anyway to create a bridge or proxy that allows for content from Kodi (such as Stremium or other content with Widevine) to be passed to Channels? Something where it is played via Kodi's player and captured into Channels either via chrome capture or M3U of sorts?
