Calling other apps from "source" attribute of JSON file #233

Closed ChaseW15 closed 7 years ago

ChaseW15 commented 7 years ago

Is it possible to call other apps from the source attribute of the code? I'm wondering if it could be possible to launch a live stream of apps like Tubi, crackle, or even FX, through the live channels app, using cumulus TV. I would imagine finding the EPG for the live stream of these apps would be fairly easy.

That attribute only would work with apps that knew how to interpret the request. Ordinarily, launching an app would just open the app, not play the stream.

Perhaps using live Channels as effectively a launcher may be useful for me as long as I have the EPG set up correctly. Is there other forum post or guides for epgs and source. How does the xml know what channel show in the guide? Does the name attribute have to match what is in the XML? Thanks. Below is my best attempt.

{"audioOnly":false,

"genres":"ENTERTAINMENT","logo":"http://nukethefridge.

com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/fx-logo.jpg",

"url":"",

"name":"FX (East) (FX)",

"number":"133",

"epgURL":"http:\/\/webgrabplus.com\/sites\/default\/files\/

download\/ini\/info\/siteini.pack\/USA\/tv.com.channels.xml",

"Source":"FXnow"

},

Building a launcher in Live Channels isn't really my intention.

The XML data should be formatted based on XMLTV, which displays a variety of programs for a given channel. The names shouldn't have to match since you're associating one channel and one program guide.
