how to convert free live stream to enigma2 iptv

hi,

there's few channels that broadcast free and legally online without geoblocking or registration , i wonder if anyone could help to find a way to watch these channels on an enigma2 box as an iptv service, so far i can use these urls to watch them on vlc only .


thanks
 
Depends how integrated with E2 that you want it to be.
You could just create individual files that reference the URL of a given stream, then launch it from E2's file explorer.
You could create a catalogue containing all of the URL's (say a .m3u8) and see if E2 would co-operate.
With a fair wind, E2 should just play them for you.

If you wanted to integrate it into your E2 bouquets, then you'd need to do a few things:
(These, by the way are all just simple human-readable text entries for the most-part)
In the /etc/enigma2/ folder on your E2 box:-
Make an additional entry in the existing bouquets.tv file. Keep to the existing format of the entries in the file but choose a unique name for your 'new bouquet', say "my-special-streams" or whatever you choose. (you need to remember the name that you choose).
Then make a new .tv file (called say "my-special-streams.tv" ) - ie the name that you chose before.
Make an entry in the prescribed format layout for each of your target URL's.
If you don't know what the prescribed format is, take a look at an existing .tv file for one of yourexisting bouquets and use that as a template.
You might get away without having to encode those URL entries, and then again, you might not If not and you struggle a bit with encoding, just use a tool like it-tools to translate the encoded version of the free-type URL that you would normally put into VLC. - IT Tools - Handy online tools for developers
An example of an encoded URL from a freetype URL would look something like this:-
Freetype: - https://exampledomain.com:22078/films/123456789.mp4
Encoded:- https%3A%2F%2Fexampledomain.com%3A22078%2Ffilms%2F123456789.mp4

Finally, if you have any bouquetmakers on your E2 box already and that run/update themselves from time to time (ie AutoBouquetsmaker, IPTVBouquetsmaker,E2m3u2Bouquets etc), review their settings to make sure that they don't go and do some sort of blanket deletion of anything that they themselves have not created, and that way your own custom entries will be preserved.

Not worth the hassle get a cheap Iptv sub. Try the chinese websites if money is tight.
 
it was so easy to get it to work on vlc , i simply created a m3u and thats it, so i assumed it will be easy to get it to work on a satellite receiver box, then i tried to export that file to enigma2 using echannelizer but it didn't connect to the live stream ,i thought the fix will be easy but it looks like it is not .
the down side to the chinese option is that it offers lower quality than what it is available freely online , not 1080p and lower audio quality too.

Post some example streams you are using.

Also, are you using ABM to create bouquets?
 
i usually use openwebif to organise/make bouquets and echnanilizer if iptv is involved, thats the extent of my knowledge.

i found the m3u urls by using page inspect/network/ serched for m3u
here are 2 links as examples :

Code:
https://rotana.net/en/channels?tz=0/channels#/live/rotana_Clip

Code:
https://mekameleen.tv

Make sure you turn off updates or it will wipe everything.
 
thank you all for your help , i should have mentioned that i've used echannelizer to transfer the m3u list to the enigma2 box, i got some m3u lists from iptvcat.com . but after adding the channels to the specific bouquet they don't play even though as mentioned earlier the same list works on vlc.
here's a sample of a channel/m3u file :

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:0 tvg-country="EG" tvg-logo="link_removed" group-title="Undefined",Mekameleen TV
https://mn-nl.mncdn.com/mekameleen/smi-l:mekameleentv.smil/playlist.m3u8

Free subs are rubbish get a paid sub and request you are using an E2 box.

i have paid iptv but funny enough these channels coming from their own sources are better quality compared to the paid iptv. most are hd with 1080p not 720 and the audio is way better too.
 
Have you looked at KiddaC's' bouquetmakerxtream' plugin. It will create a bouquet of all the streams for you.
the issue is not creating the bouquet, i can create/edit bouquets and add channels to the enigma2 box without any problem, but the channels wont play , i get black screen .

If you use the plugin mentioned above, you just copy/paste the m3u in and it creates the bouquets in a separate list from your existing iptv.
I'd also remove the 8 from m3u8 in the url so it ends m3u
 
Put the m3u in the hdd and use the media player and see if they play.
Ps just tried some UK channels from the website you posted and they work. Well the ones that are not geo blocked lol
