Can SageTV stream live TV over http?
I've always had my eye on integrating SageTV live tv watching with XBMC/Kodi. It appears, though admittedly I haven't looked too closely, that Kodi is accessing live tv streams through the pvr's webserver. I dug around a bit in the nPVR pvr addon and see lines like this:
Code:
sprintf(line, "GET /live?channel=%d%s&client=XBMC-%s HTTP/1.0\r\n", channelinfo.iChannelNumber, mode, m_sid); Can Sage stream video over an http connection? Is it possible to send start/stop commands in a similar way?

Sage has all the APIs built in to allow someone to build a Kodi backend for Sage, but no one's done it yet.

Thanks for the information. I know that a couple of guys worked on a SageTV addon that allows for viewing Sage recordings on Kodi and tried adding Live TV to it but couldn't get it to work. I believe it was written before PVR functionality was added to Kodi.

LiveTV is problematic, especially for file based players, since unless they "know" the file is growing, then when they reach the end, they stop.
SageTV has 2 protocols for streaming... both of which I've had to implement for the Android MiniClient. These protocols are socket based and not http protocols, but certainly, other players could implement them, and gain access to live tv streaming, etc. LiveTV is not something that I care about personally, but it should work on the AndroidTV, if I've implemented the protocols correctly

I'm back again, I took a look at the kodi pvr.demo code (https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.demo) and am seeing that the channel information is set up like this:
Code:
<channel> <name>Demo TV Channel 1</name> <radio>0</radio> <number>1</number> <encryption>0</encryption> <icon>special://xbmc/addons/pvr.demo/data/01.png</icon> <stream>http://distribution.bbb3d.renderfarming.net/video/mp4/bbb_sunflower_1080p_30fps_normal.mp4</stream> </channel> Can someone tell me if any Sage plugins can provide these sorts of streaming urls? I know that the webserver appears to allow for streaming of recordings but I don't see anything for selecting a channel from the epg and start the stream.
