This is an attempt to solve issue #29 and also make the experience in Kodi 18 better. It's also a huge hack.

Fixes the issue with sys.listitem that isn't the same as xbmc.getInfoLabel(ListItem.xxx) since we only use the sys.listitem.getLabel().
Faster playback (since we don't need to do an EPG lookup anymore).
Seems to work fine in the skins I've tested (Arctic Zaphyr 2 & Estuary).
Much simpler code, no lookups needed by channel.

Maybe I'll leave the old way in as a fallback. This allows to use IPTV Manager with EPG data from tvheadend (I agree, this is an advanced usecase).

LGTM !

The fallback to the templated URI can be useful when there is no direct stream available yet at the time when the EPG is fetched.
