In user profile in TVH can force usage of profile.

Thanks. I've looked at this but it's not obvious where/how to force the usage of a profile. I'm editing the user now and in Advanced Settings I see a list of streaming profiles but how do I force one?

Select this one with you want to use

Doesn't seem to work - Kodi always says it's using "htsp" profile when I check in Status/Subscriptions.

Work in my side.

Mine looks exactly the same - albeit the names are different. But when I connect as that user, from a Kodi client, it does not use the profile I've requested, it always reports that it uses "htsp".

If you stream from a Kodi client using that user, does it use the "tv" profile you have selected?

OK, that's great - so it definitely can be done. Can you help me figure out why mine isn't working in that way please?

I'm using 4.3-1792~g466a01431 built on Fedora 5.0.17-300.fc30.x86_64 if that helps at all? Kodi is 18.1.

Really appreciate your help with this.

Can you update to latest 4.3-1792~g466a01431

Hmm I thought I already had the latest version, I only cloned it from git two days ago. I have 4.3-1792~g466a01431 is that not the latest?

Strange how you set in Kodi client?

I'm not setting it in Kodi - I thought the idea was that setting it in the user profile would force it to use the profile?

I also tried to use other streaming profiles than htsp with kodi pvr.hts addon.

In pvr.hts settings, under "Streaming settings" there is an option to set a streaming profile, but for any profile other than htsp it notifies with an error that the "profile is not available", and htsp is actually enforced.

As far as I understand, kodi pvr.hts client is not designed to use other streaming profils. see https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.hts/issues/326.

On the other hand, PVR IPTV simple client streams by http requests, and can use other profiles.

Post your streaming profile.
As you see it work in my setup.

It certainly seems like it can't be done. Shame

I do it more then a year it definitely CAN be done.

What could I be doing wrong? Do you select the profile in the client config in Kodi? If I do that it says the profile is not available, same as nit nit above.

what permissions have client?

Hello Saen

My goal is to use pass streaming profile on kodi HTSP add on. This because I am facing problems with htsp streaming with DVBT2 in my country (posted on another thread) while pass streaming profile works fine with other IPTV clients. I had no success so far.

I have retried today using two approaches:

a. On client side, I have set pass streaming profile but when setting any other streaming profile other than htsp or default (empty) - the kodi HTSP add on always produce an error: "streaming profile is not available". When subscribing and streaming a channel - htsp is always used by server.

b. On server side, I have defined a new user
in Basic Setting - Streaming: Basic, Advanced
in Advanced Setting - Streaming profiles: pass
And again, when streamed a channel, server has used htsp profile

I would be thankful if you will provide details if and how you managed to do so

Hi saen

Is "what permissions have client" a question to me? If so what specifically do you need to know?

Thanks

Jon.
