Kodi PVR IPTV Simple Client - Clicking on an unused channel in the EPG causes Kodi to crash requiring a force stop. All other channels work just fine. How would I go about modifying the script so that playlist information is not added for unused channels? And is it possible to not add channel numbers so that I can use an xmltv file to automatically populate guide data?

This file should be generated on first run.

If no configuration file exists,

• "Would you like to save your credentials to a local file?"

If "yes", save this preference and all following credentials. If "no", save this preference and don't ask again.

I updated the python script with my Mystreams username/password and the script fails saying the credentials are invalid. I've tried setting the username with and without the full email address and I get the same behavior each time. Screenshot attached.

Should be #!/usr/bin/env python3 on line 1.

SmoothStreams have updated their servers as follows:

deu-nl1: "EU NL1 (Ams)",
deu-nl2: "EU NL2 (Ams)",
deu-nl3: "EU NL3 (Ams)",
deu-uk1: "EU UK1 (io)",
deu-uk2: "EU UK2 (100TB)",
deu-nl:  "European NL Mix",
dEU:     "European Server Mix",
deu-uk:  "European UK Mix",
dNAe1:   "US/CA East 1 (NJ)",
dNAe2:   "US/CA East 2 (VA)",
dNAe3:   "US/CA East 3 (MTL)",
dNAe4:   "US/CA East 4 (TOR)",
dNAe:    "US/CA East Mix",
dNA:     "US/CA Server Mix",
dNAw1:   "US/CA West 1 (PHX,AZ)",
dNAw2:   "US/CA West 2 (SJ,CA)",
dNAw:    "US/CA West Mix",
dAP :    "Asia Mix"

API URL structure has changed to:
http://auth.smoothstreams.tv/hash_api.php?site=VHOST&username=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD

where VHOST = {Live247: view247, MyStreams = viewms, StarStreams = viewss, StreamTVnow = viewstvn}

Hi. I successfully created the list. So far so good. But the list is not working in vlc.
I'm getting:
"Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL..."

• Python2 will be sunsetting in ~3 years
• Effort was made to use Python2 built-ins for exactly this reason - easy inevitable conversion using 2to3.
• Huge feature add by @bradmurray PR #12 and PR #13 can be integrated after a conversion to Python3.

Users should be able to select from the list of actual servers instead of being forced to use US West.

Could use a .config file that's generated on first run, or prompt user for server selection on each run.

Hi!

Im getting wrong login credentials every time i try to generate the file. Is the py file able to "log-in" on every SS site? My guessing is that the script is not signing me in in the right site. I use live247.

Also, if i edit the py file to add my credentials it gives me syntax error. I just put my user and pass inside the ''

Thanks for the effort you putting on it.

"I did the same using a PHP script, I have a URL to automatically generate the playlist, so I can just give this URL to VLC or my smart TV. One suggestion for you would be to use the the API to generate the token, then you can generate the full playlist automatically :

http://smoothstreams.tv/schedule/admin/dash_new/hash_api.php?username=XXX&password=XXX&site=XXX

You will get a JSON as a response that contains a valid token"

Windows 10 / Python 2.7 - all goes well until it attempts to generate the playlist.

Thank you, generating playlist.

python sstv.py

WELCOME to the SmoothStreamsTV playlist generator!

This program will generate an .m3u8 playlist file with all available channels for the SmoothStreamsTV IPTV provider, playable in media players and browsers.
Please note: channel names and listings are sourced from SmoothStreamsTV, and current as of September 5, 2016.

1. Please ensure that you are signed into SmoothStreamsTV, and go to this page:

        http://streamtvnow.tv/players/web_auth_old/index.php

2. Click on the VLC traffic cone icon and copy the URL from the 'HLS' box to your clipboard.

    Example:
        http://dnaw1.smoothstreams.tv:9100/viewstvn/ch19.smil/playlist.m3u8?wmsAuthSign=c2VydmVyX3RpbWU9O...

3. Paste the full URL here (and press return):


http://dn2.smoothstreams.tv/viewss/ch11q1.stream/playlist.m3u8?wmsAuthSign=--AUTHKEY HERE--
An exception of type NameError occured. Arguments:
("global name 'ex' is not defined",)

can you shed some light on what could be causing this?

Would it be possible to add Fog's data as a data source and generate a m3u8 files passed on it?

I'm trying to integrate SmoothStreams TV into my Android TV box (Nvidia Shield) Live Channels app. I have found an app, TVirl (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=by.stari4ek.tvirl&hl=en), which takes an m3u8 file and an XMLTV file for EPG data and puts it into the Live Channels app. Fog has released the URLs for his data (see below). This would allow me to run the script locally and generate the necessary m3u8 and XMLTV files for the TVirl app and have that integrated into the Live Channels app.

Is this at all possible?

Thanks in advance.

Hey there, appreciate this script. SSTV just announced new channels:

Let me know if you need any help maintaining this.

Hi,

Would it be possible for you to insert a dictionary table into the code for '#EXTINF:-1,' as well? And then the user can edit the table with the matching tvg-id tags. This would allow the script to output a working epg format for iptv simple client. For example the working epg output would need to look as follows:

#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="I16485.labs.zap2it.com", 01 ESPNews
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="I10179.labs.zap2it.com", 02 ESPN

(Where as the table allows for me to insert my tvg-id tags right before the comma of #EXTINF:-1,)

Thanks in advance if possible!

Keep getting the following error message, tried it via both Windows & Linux Server - "An exception occurred: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden."

Double checked credentials etc.
