Luke 36878 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 if you'll never need transcoding, then /videos/{id}/stream.ts?static=true might work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelblue05 4130 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I use two calls in Kodi. One to playbackinfo, the second to LiveStreams/Open which returns the path with the mediasource. However, maybe I guess, if there's a way to skip the playbackinfo, it would be even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pünktchen 1241 Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 @@Luke time to resurrect this this thread. I've created a nice little Emby plugin that allows to serve Emby's live tv guide as a xmltv file and the live tv channels as a m3u playlist to other applications. I think that could be useful for those people that always ask for a better live tv integration into Kodi. They could import the data into Kodi's Simple (IPTV) PVR Addon. To open a live tv channel from the playlist, i've created an api endpoint in my plugin that takes the channelId, makes a POST request to "/Items/{Id}/PlaybackInfo" with "AutoOpenLiveStream=true" and then redirects to the stream path that i get from the "PlaybackInfoResponse". This is working nicely to start playback, BUT of course i cannot make a POST request to "/LiveStreams/Close" with just a playlist full of links So can you please just create an additional parameter for the PlaybackInfo request, something like "AutoCloseLiveStream=integer" that closes the stream after xx seconds if no one consumes the stream. If omitted or AutoCloseLivestream=0 then behave as until now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pünktchen 1241 Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 Nice, but oh. I hear your words - very soon - this could be a very long time in the Emby world This year, next three month, sometime next year? Any timeframe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceboy 2484 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) But bear in mind channel management was definitely coming in 2019 [emoji23] Sorry, is coming. I’m sure it’s still coming. Perhaps a surprise Christmas present Edited November 28, 2019 by Spaceboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
