That all being said there is a way in pvr.nextpvr to bypass the backend for Live TV if the device provides a URL that Kodi's inputstream.adaptive or even a Kodi plugin can play. That is the expert mode Direct Steam option.
I don't recommend it and don't document it much because the user really needs to know the impact maybe see this related post here https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?tid=64729
Some issues to consider
- NextPVR is not in control of the tuner so recordings could be lost,
- not able to share the channel with multiple users with multi-rec
- I deliberately made it hard to setup, but it works great with Internet radio streams with Shoutcast so I did create a utility for that part.
- LiveStreams.xml needs to be kept current.
