Thanks for the nice words.
Just a little update. I have re-added motors tv and all these Portuguese channels with english audio such as fox life, fox crime, fox movie channel and axn black and europe.
I have also added current tv, a new nhl event stream and a better quality feed of c-span 1.

thanks BOW for the portuguese channels.
Can you put some sport channels like sportv 1, 2,3, and 4?
Thank you very much. Wink

"Fox Crime" reports error. You have to escape the space ("\20") between the words in pageUrl.

Also, is there a way to make the EPG portion of your list compatible with rtmpgui+ ?
Currently, rtmpgui+ does not support the "epg/epg2" tags, but supports "epgid".
I tried manually editing your list and adding the correct epgid tags and noticed no error at all in either LiveTV or rtmpgui+ addons.
Note, that it's a one-off procedure as the EPG value/URL rarely changes.

So, the question is, are you willing to support this option?
If so, how can we, the users, help?

Thanks.

That's not exactly how it works.
The page url is not a part of the stream address, and can be whatever you want it to be.
I leave it in there for shout out purposes.
I have no idea why it didn't work for you. Works fine now though.

That's something you have to ask the rtmpgui devs about.
I have no idea what rtmpgui has or doesn't have in their software. Haven't tried it either.
But just send this addon to them, and tell them to use the same codes.

Works now here too. Most probably a glitch in my setup. Thanks for the help.

I did not explain correctly. I was asking if your list could be enriched server-side with the "epgid" tag.
That is, if we, the users, could provide you with all the relevant info so that your (excellent) list can work correctly with both add-ons.

For example, this:

Code:

<item>

<title>US \ Discovery Channel

</title><thumbnail>http://thestreamdb.googlecode.com/svn/logos/8gdevk.png</thumbnail>

<link>rtmp://46.105.109.122/edge/ playpath=6gnwqd6ch8nzv9t swfurl=http://cdn.static.ilive.to/jwplayer/player_new.swf pageurl=http://www.ilive.to/AE timeout=10</link>

</item>

would become this:

Code:

<item>

<title>US \ Discovery Channel

</title><thumbnail>http://thestreamdb.googlecode.com/svn/logos/8gdevk.png</thumbnail>

<link>rtmp://46.105.109.122/edge/ playpath=6gnwqd6ch8nzv9t swfurl=http://cdn.static.ilive.to/jwplayer/player_new.swf pageurl=http://www.ilive.to/AE timeout=10</link>

<epgid>tvguide:399</epgid>

</item>

Doing this we'll get:
1) EPG for some stations that in the current edition of your list do not appear to offer EPG.
2) Get rid of the trouble of downloading your list and then use an external processor in order to semi-manually add the corresponding "epgid" tags on it. Check out the code snippets I showed above. It's just the addition of a tag that is ignored by LiveTV (so it does not cause any error for the users of LiveTV addon), but also makes rtmpgui+ give a better experience to the users of rtmpgui+ addon.

This sounds like a win-win to me but I'd be happy to discuss it if you have any objections. Note that the matching of channel names and "epgid" tags can be done by the community.

BOW thank you for the excellent streams!!

prono · 2012-03-24 00:58

Is it just me or the SD steams from tvsector are really choppy, the fps is somewhere around 15-18-20, which is really low, sometime even lower. Did anybody find a way to improve the video so be smoother?

I don't mind the image quality, it's normal to be worst but I need the video to flow smooth.

The tvsector streams are always buffering for me too.
