Hi all. I posted a while ago about a BBC iPlayer plugin I was working on using standard bouquets. Well..

I've been improving what I have. Mainly to not require another server. I managed to write an installation file which sets up streamlink for enigma2 boxes.

Essentially what I have at the moment is a basic python class which uses the cli from streamlink. It pipes this through a httpd server running within python. Tonight I got it working reliably well for both iPlayer and ITV hub.

I need to move the code into a plugin so I can access some of enigma2s classes etc.

The loading of a stream can take a while and I'd like to be able to show notifications on screen.

Big issue will be getting a list of URLs into a bouquet for streamlink to use. I've managed to scrape the iPlayer and ITV hub and they work.

The bouquets for vod will likely be huge unless services give for example, genres to use.

In theory anything on this page could be loaded as a channel

https://streamlink.github.io/plugin_matrix.html

This includes iPlayer. Itv hub. YouTube. Crunchy roll for me displaying these as bouquets is much simplier and just requires a Cron to upload the links.

Anyone good with GUI for plugins and wants to provide some help would be grand as services like crunchyroll need login details passed to streamlink.
