Possible to implement a Plex Live TV plugin #238

This is not an issue I absolutely love your app Kiall and have been using it since the beginning of development.

I myself like to tinker with java and building apps and there are quite a few people out there that would love to have this plugin converted (if at all possible) to a Plex Live TV plugin for Live Channels.

I have been going through your app code source to see if any functions can be ported to a plex format with token key generation access to port 32400. Now Plex uses a epg.db file to store all epg xmltv data and set live tv uri's so if we could parse this epg.db file into something Live Channels can parse xmltv.dtd wise then we may be halfway there with your tvheadend plugin.

Let me know if I am just dreaming here or if this is feasible at all. Thanks in advance Kiall. Much appreciation for your hard work!
