Kodi 22 and VOD

[mvallevand]

Is anyone interested in getting VOD files in Kodi?  There is a PR open now and I have been investigating possibilities but I will need cooperation and feedback from some NextPVR IPTV users to get this work.  I don't think I can extrapolate this from my PlutoTV experience.

So far I think I have figure out how to reduce the load time and memory requirements of a the large number of VOD files but I haven't figured out how to use a huge linear list of files.  NextPVR's web based approach seems great but it doesn't translated well for Kodi users.  Now, I guess I am interested in knowing how users of other applications and even Kodi pvr.iptvsimple deal with the TV and movies list.

Later one I will need some some m3u lists (URL's can be obfusgated) to help, right now I can fake them but I am making assumption on the filename conventions and m3u information that is available.

This is a reply to a spammer that I just purged so it probably reads funny but I don't want to retype it if there every is interest

I am, the main things I am interested in seeing is

1) Are filenames shown and they are ts, mp4 or mkv?

2) About how many are there.

2) sample EXTINF line from real providers for movies and tv.

I have been faking it by guessing.

Code:

#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="278"  group-title="1994 Movies" tvg-name="The Shawshank Redemption (1994)",The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="19404"  group-title="1995 Movies" tvg-name="Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995)",Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995)
