onPlaybackStart event does not pass Tuner instance if %item.type% is LiveTvChannel #59

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I am attempting to run a script when a LiveTV channel is selected for Play from a M3U tuner. My current implementation is fine when I have only one tuner, as the script can target the specific device need for channel changing. However, when I have two tuners, the onPlaybackStart event DOES pass the channel name via the %item.name% variable but cannot/does not pass the specific tuner used. So the script cannot discern which device to send the channel change to.

Describe the solution you'd like For the onLiveTvRecordingStart event, these variables are passed: %recording.channel.number% %recording.tuner.type% %recording.tuner.url%. If these variables were available as maybe: %playback.channel.number% %playback.tuner.type% %playback.tuner.url%, then that would solve which tuner was selected for playback

Thank you for this information mate - I'm adding this to the list for testing for the new Live TV implementation/libraries

Just an update on this one - still working on getting the tuner information based on the events using the new LiveTV libraries. It's a work in progress and a very high priority.
