[OpenELEC] Adding new channels from M3U playlist
Added by Andrej S. almost 12 years ago
Hello,
I have 100+ channels in some M3U playlist and I would like to easily add them to IPTV list... Is there an easy way to do this?
Well the easy way for me is also making the script to create a new file/s (whatever is needed) from my old m3u...
I've been trying to alter ~/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/service.multimedia.tvheadend/iptvservices (iptv_*) files filled with lines from my m3u, but HTS Tvheadend 3.3.328~g60371b0 web interface doesn't recognize anything...
What can I do? I just don't want to be kicking all the channels (100+) in via web interface...
Thank you and best regards...
-Andrej

You may try my solution. This is a tiny program that open playlist and create iptv
Use -h key to show help
All parameters except --follow_links are needed (link to playlist, url of tvheadend like http://192.168.1.1:9981, name and password for tvh.

You can try out GUI Playlist Editor from http://codenovel.eu/projects-explained/import-m3u-and-csv-playlists-to-tvheadend for Windows operating system.

I can try to improve error information, but it seems that something wrong with retrieving list of current iptv services from tvheadend.
Error while creating IPTV service
As it's first connection to tvheadend try to check tvheadend url, user and password.
And please write version of tvheadend - program use WebUI API which is undocumented and so not guaranteed to be stable.

Version of Tvheaden: HTS Tvheadend 3.9.431~g3f3fdc8
through a Web interface to Tvheadend is connected correctly.
