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

1. Throw your zip archive with icons anywhere on the internal drive
2. Add a new EPG source and specify the location of the archive.
3. put a daw to use logos

I do everything like that, but the logos never appear in the channel list.

I wanted to clarify, did you understand what was the matter? it is not convenient to watch segm without epg

did not have time to look. I will be already engaged in bug fixes and optimizations after a release 0.4.0.0 in release. I want to try and send in beta by the end of the week.

I do everything like that, but the logos never appear in the channel list.

and you didn't just choose a new EPG, but complete the installation with an updated EPG list?
In order for logos to be picked up - in the archive they must lie on the first level (without folders, etc.) and their names must match either the names of the channels (spaces can be replaced with underscores) or with tags tvg-logo, tvg-name

It is in this form that the task is added to the backlog;)


Good day!

I would like to know (did not find the search). Did you make support for the "parent-code" tag? Today I tried using this code to block one of the channels, but nothing happened ...

Thank!

Maybe you can tell me: is there a working way to indicate in the playlist that the TV channel has age restrictions? I’m currently blocking channels with TV, but I would like to do it in the playlist.

Thank!

I would like to know (I did not find it with a search). Did you make support for the "parent-code" tag?

Despite the fact that, in general, Android TV supports the age rating system, TVirl does not use it now - only to block channels manually.

As far as I can see the description of the behavior of the parent-code tag, it’s unlikely to be implemented. There is no tool to block the channel.
Found that in Android 8 added the ability to block the channel by default. Need to check how it works. Perhaps you will add support.

Plus, I would certainly like to make support for age ratings - but the big question here is how to get these ratings. Something that is in XmlTv, in m3u I did not see any standard approach

* stari4ek.by, thanks for the answer. I myself was looking for m3u syntaxes, except for parent-code I did not find anything. I hope there is a solution.

Thanks to the author for the excellent software!

Have a question anyone used onSkyworth 50G2A?

Channels are switched only by Up / Down arrows. On regular ChUp / ChDown does not respond.
If you enter the channel number with a number on the numeric keypad, it switches to the corresponding channel number of the digital tv (cable).
The channel list can be displayed using the List button, here you can already run around the list with arrows.

Sending diagnostics from the application can help clarify the situation?

Android 8.0, TVirl from Play Store

I do not think.
TVirl with a system TV player works at the level of the system says what to do:
* run application / service
* switch channel to XXX
* change volume
* switch the track to X

etc.

if it immediately jumps to another channel provider - the problem of a caliber TV player

Can you try installing Live Channels?
