Hi,

Thank you

Behind the scenes it still supports this, but unfortunately there is no way to configure it in the user interface. The only way to enable it is by editing the database for each IPTV channel you want to use this.

You're the first person to ask about it in v5 or v6, so not a very in demand feature.

Ok I understand.
In my case it is that I use a video encoder that convert the hdmi signal of my decoder into stream udp and to change channel I use a code that I execute before

If I want modify the database where is it 

Thank you

That could also be done quite easily with an extra if your grabber generates an m3u8 stream. These are integrated well with the guide channel numbers too

My encoder create only one stream I change my channel with ir 
 In my m3u8 list all channel have the same udp adress

It's still a very good use case for an extra.  I used to use a URay encoder that also generated only one stream and an IR blaster to change the channel on my cable box.  I had an extra the took the channel number from NextPVR, ran an external script to trigger the IR Blaster, and then tune the stream.

I don't seem to have the extra anymore, but it probably looked a little bit like this:

PHP Code:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<extras title="URay">
  <channel number="{channel}" name="{channel-name}">
    <command>bash</command>
    <args>-c "/config/scripts/uray.sh {channel}"</args>
  </channel>
</extras> 


And here's the shell script that the extra executed:

PHP Code:

# change the channel
python3 /config/scripts/iguana-blaster/execute.py -c $1

# open the stream
curl  http://172.16.1.4/0.ts
wait
exit $?

ok im not sure to understand where you put this code in the m3u8 file sorry im not very good in english

You don't put it in the m3u8 file.  You aren't using IPTV at all any more.  You're creating a special kind of tuner called an Extra.  This is a new feature in NextPVR 5/6.

Ok thank you version 5 and 6 is news for me :p

That wiki definition is pretty sparce and several features aren documented and ther is no documentation for passing the url to Next PVR. Do you have to stream by UDP?
