Title: import playlist (m3u iptv) and fill tag values at import
Post by: boot77 on November 08, 2016, 03:04:15 pm

I am trying to import an m3u iptv channel list. This url's get imported just fine as filename and JRiver adds additional tag values as well but I would like to use more of the data in the file and map it to specific tags.

m3u example:
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="NPO 3 HD NL" tvg-name="NPO 3 HD NL" tvg-logo="http://secure.clientportal.link/picons/npo3.png" group-title="Netherlands",NPO 3 HD NL http://clientportal.link:8080/live/boot77/jfj3333/12527.ts

when I export a mpl playlist I have this data available:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<MPL Version="2.0" Title="My Connected Media" PathSeparator="\">
<Item>
<Field Name="Filename">http://clientportal.link:8080/live/boot77/jfj3333/12527.ts</Field>
<Field Name="Name">12527</Field>
<Field Name="Media Type">Video</Field>
<Field Name="Media Sub Type">TV Show</Field>
<Field Name="Date Imported">1478636890</Field>
<Field Name="Date First Rated">1478636890</Field>
<Field Name="File Type">ts</Field>
<Field Name="File Size">-1</Field>
<Field Name="Compression">ts video (video: h264, audio: ac3)</Field>
<Field Name="Sample Rate">48000</Field>
<Field Name="Channels">6</Field>
<Field Name="Bit Depth">32</Field>
<Field Name="Width">1920</Field>
<Field Name="Height">1080</Field>
<Field Name="FPS">50</Field>
<Field Name="Web Media URL">http://clientportal.link:8080/live/boot77/jfj3333/12527.ts</Field>
</Item>
</MPL>

I would like to import these values as well and map them to a custom field or an existing one:
tvg-id="NPO 3 HD NL" -> artist
group-title="Netherlands" -> album
http://secure.clientportal.link/picons/npo3.png -> image file or other usefull item like thumbnail

Based on these values I can build a custom view for the theatre mode and wait for a full IPTV solution in JRiver.  :'(

Or does sombody now how to implement IPTV in JRiver in a better way?

I don't think anyone has a good answer.  You could look at Carnac (https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Carnac).  You might find something that would help.

You could say "bump", not "dump" to bring the topic up again.
