schmitty 61 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Hello, I have a few ideas for enhancements to the Live TV system. 1 Support for more headers in m3u files... eg.live (1/0) - disable/enable live stream flag, so play and seek controls can be enabled or disabled tvg-group - to set network/studio group of radio and tv streams for easier grouping tvg-url - so xmltv guide data can be bound directly to a channel or m3u file, bypassing the built-in gui method #bg-color and #bg-size - to alter the background color and size of the channel tile metadata display - eg. jQuery Stream, embedded m3u/8 comment, Icy-Metadata, Icecast CORS/ACAO headers. I have a ttached an m3u file which I tried to directly add as m3u tuner, but the server would not load it properly, possibly because it is one stream with multiple chunks ( also has metadata)... it can be called from another m3u tuner though. https://wz3web.scahw.com.au/live/3sea_32.stream/playlist.m3u8?listeningSessionID=5bdda753c87a2e78_303254_9A8QlPM3__00000001t29&downloadSessionID=0 #EXTM3U #EXT-X-VERSION:3 #EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:6 #EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:40 #EXTINF:5.015,Lukas Graham - Love Someone fRjAPQ6Q9DEp-308311271-5015.aac #EXTINF:4.969,Lukas Graham - Love Someone lR52ZCSwo0Yp-308311272-4969.aac #EXTINF:5.015,Lukas Graham - Love Someone j6TateebXsLp-308311273-5015.aac tv (0/1) - enable/disable tv (must specify either radio or audio-only options if set to 0) radio (true) - enable radio-specific stream with rich metadata (only use if tv=0, can not be used with audio-only) audio-only (true) - enable audio only stream without rich metadata (only use if tv=0, can not be used with radio) 2 Add support for Icecast streams/tuners 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quickmic 1330 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) Not sure if it's already added to Emby server. I'm also trying to tag radio/audio only streams (M3U) in some way. So far, no success. /LiveTv/Channels query always returns "MediaType":"Video" Edited July 24, 2021 by quickmic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand, unfortunately m3u is not officially specified. Kodi uses a flag in the "EXTINF" section. Probably Emby server could adopt it?

quickmic 1330 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) 4 hours ago, cayars said: Hi, How are you trying to do this? I'v tried via "fake" extension in the stream URL like "https://MYDVR/stream/id=c5b0045700011efb?fake.mp3" @schmitty example was: fRjAPQ6Q9DEp-308311271-5015.aac Also I tried (as mentioned above) several flags in the EXTINF section. I think would be a possible to detect content via URL/PATH extension (more reliable due to lag of a standard, but most broadcasters uses m3u8/hls -> no content detection possible without sophisticated analysis) and additionally via flag support. -> fallback would be video flag kodi uses in EXTINF: radio="true" @schmitty mentioned: tv=0/1 both should be easy to adopt.

Carlo 4330 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 The "group" in the m3u becomes a tag in Live TV so can use the group feature in the m3u to do this if I understand your situation correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, possible. Currently I use a channelname extension as radio content indicator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 I'm not familiar with that, what does channelname extension do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 1330 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Let me start from scratch. Probably you know, I'm the developer of emby for kodi. The question asked are all about "syncing" LiveTV content from Emby server to Kodi. Kodi has per default two sorts of livetv content -> Radio and TV. So my code needs to know, what's what to feed Kodi with proper information. As radio content is not tagged by Emby I use workarounds. My current workaround is: If a channelname is labeled like "My Radio broadcaster channelname (radio)" it detects Radio content. Sure I can rape "group" as indication as well (losing the actual grouping functionality for Radio broadcasters). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Thanks for that. Totally different situation than what I was thinking! I'll back out and let the devs give you the info you're looking for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37003 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Right now all channels are assumed to be video. If they end up being audio-only, they'll play fine in Emby and will just be displayed in a video player context. It is possible to improve this, but that's how they are as of today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know, therefore I use workarounds for content detection. It's not an urgent matter but probably there is room for improvement.

emveepee 112 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 (edited) From the NextPVR addon I set MediaBrowser.Controller.LiveTv.ChannelType to the enum ChannelType.Radio or ChannelType.TV. Would that be exposed? Martin Edited July 26, 2021 by emveepee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
