M3U from french ISP (free.fr) problem

[mvallevand]

If you are trying to add many channels it is much easier to call a script with parameters and test the script outside NextPVR.

I tried to connect to mafreebox.freebox.fr/ using my cheapo VPN but no luck too bad looks there is a grabber script I could try and modify.

Is this actually a server or a local device?

So, after 3 new hours !! :
I finaly get working with this extras xml file :

<extras>
    <channel name="Arte">
      <command>ffmpeg</command>
      <args>-i rtsp://mafreebox.freebox.fr/fbxtv_pub/stream?namespace=1&amp;service=204&amp;flavour=hd -vcodec h264 -acodec aac -f mpegts -</args>
    </channel>
<channel name="France 2">
      <command>ffmpeg</command>
      <args>-i rtsp://mafreebox.freebox.fr/fbxtv_pub/stream?namespace=1&amp;service=201&amp;flavour=hd -vcodec h264 -acodec aac -f mpegts -</args>
    </channel>
  </extras>

I succes add epg located on my libreelec/kodi miniPC (I was not able to add "/storage/downloads/guide.gz" file seams that Npvr don't like .gz format from local file but it like http:// .gz ... something to improve ??

Now I want to add channels logo whitch are on local .png files ... but I don't know if it's possible and how to do that ??

There is <icon></icon> you can add to channel for the logo. However normally that is also in the XMLTV file (click download icons) On the channel line you can add the number ="7" and number="2"

It thought you were leaving for TVHeadend but if this command gives you a file

curl http://mafreebox.freebox.fr/api/v3/tv/channels/

gives output I could automate the extra from that you.

For the extra you definitely need to add -v panic because you are corrupting the ts stream You only really need to transcode them for the NextPVR web server, if you use Kodi that is overkill. I would just use -c copy and let the web server trancode them on demand (there might be a bug on extras right now)

So after some days I come back !
I've a new RPI5 as I install like server of emby server and I'm trying NPVR.
Thanks a lot Martub for your explanations.
This is an example of my extras.xml file witch is working very well :
<extras>
<channel name="Arte" number="1">
<icon>file:///home/rpi/nextpvr/icons/arte.png</icon>
<command>ffmpeg</command>
<args>-v panic -i rtsp://mafreebox.freebox.fr/fbxtv_pub/stream?namespace=1&amp;service=204&amp;flavour=hd -c copy -f mpegts - </args>
</channel>
<extras>

Channel name, number is OK and reading well on LibreELEC/KODI.

The last thing that I doesn't work is the icons witch doesn't appears. I put them on /home/rpi/nextpvr/icons.
I tried on extras.xml file : /home/rpi/nextpvr/icons/arte.png and //home/rpi/nextpvr/icons/arte.png and ///home/rpi/nextpvr/icons/arte.png and file:///home/rpi/nextpvr/icons/arte.png but without success ...
Can you tell me what is the good syntax ??
Thanks a lot

For locally saved icons just place them in the channel icon folder not the xml. That would be /media/channel the data folder so for LE that would be something like.

/home/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.nextpvr/config/media/channels

The filename will be ChannelName.png or jpg and it is case sensitive with the channel name.

Ok that worked.
Thank you Martin, I continue testing ....
