I would like to know if there a commands usable from the keymaps or python script to select and play a live channel from the PVR backend.
I've tried commands like:
PlayMedia(pvr://channels/tv/All TV channels/4.pvr)
and it launchs the channel but in a different way than a play from channel list (I can switch to previous-next channel,...).

It would be great to have a command to get the current channel or media.

Thanks for your hits!

playfile should work. if not, please create a ticket on trac or github, tell me what's different from what you expected, and attach a full debug log.

edit:
typo, it's PlayMedia

Found a problem with PVR? Report it on Trac, under "PVR - core components". Please attach the full debug log.

But, is the URI format correct? pvr://channels/tv/All TV channels/4.pvr
Is there a syntax to use the channel name instead of the ordinal number?
