Pluto TV is an interesting service that can add 100's of stations to your NextPVR collection. Check here to see what is in your country if that interests you can try it out as follows
Steps to install
1. Download and install Streamlink from https://streamlink.github.io/install.html for your platform ensuring you install for all users. Windows users will also need to copy "C:\Program Files (x86)\Streamlink\ffmpeg\ffmpeg.exe" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Streamlink\bin"
2. Install python following these steps https://github.com/sub3/NextPVR/wiki/install-python
3. Install the require python modules as Adminstrator
pip install lxml requests m3u8
or when not using Windows
sudo pip3 install lxml requests m3u8
4. After installing applications in 2 and 3 you will need to restart the NextPVR server to get the upgraded PATH
5. Download the attached into the scripts sub folder of the NextPVR data directory.
6. From there unzip the file which should create a new folder in scripts called plutotv
At this stage I recommend backing up npvr.db3 since you could get more channels then you expect.
7. Change to scripts/plutotv and then run
python pluto.py install
or on non Windows
sudo python3 pluto.py install
I would update the EPG at the end but if you are using OTA update you may want to wait for later to save time.
8. Pluto TV should be installed and ready to used.
Follow the steps in Post Installation and enjoy.
