Short description:
View IPTV on Android TV in the standard Live Channels application (or equivalent).

Description:
Into the systemAndroid TV A program for viewing TV channels and other media resources was originally built, which combines various sources of video content. Able to show the TV guide (EPG), channel logos, group by categories, control access, taking into account age restrictions and so on.
I am developing an applicationTvirl . The main idea of ​​which is to add support for IPTV channels from the provider to Live channels (For Sony TVs this is Program Guide, Stream Channels ).

The application is still under active development, but at the moment is already able to:
  • M3U playlists
  • TV programs in XmlTv, JTV formats
  • Download channel logos
  • Multicast / UDP, DASH, HLS, RTP (via udprxy), RTMP
  • MPEG-TS (as well as mp4)
  • h264 / h265 / MPEG-2 / AC-3 / MP2 / MP3 / ... and so on (some codecs are included only with hardware support by the device)
  • UDP / HTTP proxy support
  • Select a channel from the catalog or link
  • The ability to add your archives with programs or logos


The application can be downloaded from the Play Store. Test versions of the program are also available.alpha and beta testing .

Release: Download the latest release version from the Play Store ( <--- Download stable version here )
Testing: Join or leave the testing group and download from the Play Store ( <--- New chips and ryushechki available here. There may be falls and instability. )

Enjoy watching!

How to get access to alpha testing
To access:
  1. Send report (see "How to report an error" below) from the application
  2. Use Google Mail, which is used on your Android TV device
  3. Make sure that logs are also sent when attaching the report. If there is no attachment, the request will be ignored.
  4. In the message indicate that you want to join the alpha testing
  5. Join testing using the link above

Primary setup
  1. RequiredAndroid TV prefix or tv. for example NVidia Shield , Nexus player new tvs from Sony , Philips and some others.
  2. Important: there are tv consoles on android, butnot Android TV . They will not work (due to the lack of application Live Channels / Live and system libraries).
  3. You must have an IPTV service connected. The program allows you to watch only those channels that are already available to you.
  4. If your feeds useUDP / Multicast:
    1. Use the wired internet connection.Multicast / UDPwork very unstable via wifi
    2. Make sure your router is configured to work with Multicast. Check out the instructions on the site of your IPTV operator. If your router does not have instructions, look for the settings. ”Enable Multicast Stream�, �Wireless enhancement mode�, �IGMP proxy�, �IGMP snooping�, �Multicast Routing�.
  5. Install the application by joining the alpha testing at the link above
  6. Important: Sony / Philips on their TVs provide their application that implements the functionality of a TV player / TV Guide: Program Guide, Stream Channels , replacing a similar application from Google: "Live Channels" (On Sony with Android 6.0 firmware, you can install from the Google Play Store). Tvirl integrates with both solutions, but then I will describe the setting using Live channels .
  7. In the launcher, the application should appear (if it was previously hidden)Live channels. Run it.
  8. applicationTvirl Appears in the launcher deals only with the settings. Viewing channels, adding them to the playlist occurs through the system application Live Channels (or equivalent).
  9. If you have not previously set up channels (forTvirl or other programs) then Live channels automatically prompts you to configure them
  10. If channels from other programs have already been configured, then you will see a notification that new channels are available - select.
  11. If suddenly for some reasonLive channelsdoes not offer to set up new channels, then you need to open “Channel setup”Manually from the menu:
  12. Next, selectTvirl from the channel source list
  13. It is possible to select a playlist from the catalog.
  14. At the moment, the catalog is very small, but it will be expanded as verification of guaranteed work on playlists from providers or other Internet services.
  15. It is possible to specify the address of the playlist manually
  16. After adding channels, they need to be included in the list for viewing. Through "Channel setup"Go to"Customize channel list
  17. And findingTvirl in the list, select “ Select group ”To add all the channels at once, or only those you like one by one

Thanks for the program.
So far, the only alternative was cumulus tv, but setting up channels using json files is not very friendly.

There are a couple of questions:
- How to manually adjust the channel numbers?
- How to upload logos?
- Where does the program come from?

- How to upload logos?
- Where does the program come from?


- at the moment - no way. Generated on the fly. You can suggest a configuration option, I will add to the list of improvements
- at the moment logos and programs are pulled from the playlist from the field itselfurl-tvg in the title. You can specify multiple, separated by commas.
- the ability to specify manually - already in the list for revision

Logos:
- now archives with logos are supported in any format that the system will eat (jpg, bmp work exactly)
- file names must match the channel names from the playlist (differences in lower-case letters, spaces-underscores are allowed)
- archive default encoding: windows-1251, can be adjusted in settings

Program
- archive with JTV (xmltv in the plans)
- file names match in the same way as logos
- the encoding of the archive and JTV themselves by default: windows-1251, can be adjusted in the settings

JTV archive

And where to get it? I understand it should regularly renew itself?
In general, it would be great to see a brief instruction on how to create a playlist.

Thanks to the author for a wonderful program.
On his advice added tag # EXTM3U url-tvg = "http: //server/jtv.zip,http: //server/icons.zip"in the playlist and received and icons and TV program.
I will also add that the png format in icons is also understood with a bang :)

As a program source, it is quite possible to indicate, as it seems to me, a link to a telegid.

And where to get it?

At the moment, the link must be included in the playlist itself (the url-tvg field).
The ability to specify manually will be added later.

You can find programs on the Internet. There are various number of services, for example:http://www.teleguide.info

And how to specify a playlist stored locally m3u?

No way yet.

How can I delete added playlists by url-link? Or how to distribute everything?
Added two playlists, I want one to remove.


Hm It is strange that you have added two sheets. TVirl removes channels that are not included in the new playlist.
The delete function will appear later. For now, you can try to hide unwanted channels through the Live Channels interface.

It is very possible that the link is incorrect. On the wrong link site gives a page with 404. TVirl it can not parse.
Send a report from the program - I can more accurately see the logs.

Tested on w855c. The overall impression is 5-.
Tested on a playlist torrent tv with HLS support.
The program interacts very organically with the native shell from Sony. Not enough manual channel sorting. Well, if you can edit the playlist on the server, if not then ... I do not even know.

for my own (local) playlists and playlists of local IPTV providers, so that I don’t hope for free hosting I’ve picked up my own WEB server on my home NASe and now I’m feeding links to the TVirl settings:http: //192.168.*.*/MyWeb/IPTV/Rostelecom.m3u
http: //192.168.*.*/MyWeb/IPTV/Edem-TV.m3u8
where 192.168. *. * is the IP address of the home NAS
Everything works great. Recommend.

The main idea of ​​which is to add support for IPTV channels from the provider to the Live Channels (For Sony TVs, this is the Program Guide, Stream Channels).

I’m sure, and there will be no problems when the official updates of Live Channels and Program Guide come out? I mean, wouldn't you have to watch the power-up screensaver with constant reboots and so on?

Can you tell us more?
When showing - wrong screen proportions? Or do you want to enlarge the image due to the logo of the channel, black stripes?
This opportunity is in the plans, but quite distant.

I’m sure, and there will be no problems when the official updates of Live Channels and Program Guide come out? I mean, wouldn't you have to watch the power-up screensaver with constant reboots and so on?

This is the official way of filling system applications with channels. If the technical component is interesting:https://source.android.com/devices/tv/
Without third-party applications, Live Channels will not even be shown until at least one application adds channels (there are other similar applicationsTvirl)

This opportunity is in the plans, but quite distant.

When viewing “Streaming Channels” there is no possibility from the remote control to select the aspect ratio of 4: 3, 16: 9, etc., therefore some SD channels go in the original resolution and, accordingly, with black fields on the left and right, and the ability to stretch the image full screen no. At the same time, HD channels are displayed correctly over the entire area of ​​the screen. Therefore, the implementation of the function of selecting the screen proportions manually from the remote control would not be superfluous.

Ps. here, in fairness, it should be noted that incorrect display on the screen depends on the stream being played and on some playlists from the same edem.tv for example, the SD channels are stretched to full screen.

In the menu "add playlist" to update the list of channels you have to enter the url each time, it would be more convenient if the last url entered was remembered.
