[Metalartin]

Hi as the title says, I use kodi via firestick quite a lot at night to stream channels from the ZGEMMA is it possible to get your IPTV subscription channels to stream this way through the box or not?

I'm trying to this as well but cant get it to work, however I have dreamplayer installed on my firestick and I stream my sat channels from the zgemma to dreamplayer and it works fine and if I move a channel from an IPTV bouquet to a sat bouquet it also works on dreamplayer, what I have done is moved the iptv channels I watch the most to my sat favourites bouquet its not ideal but it does the job, oh btw you need the premium version of dreamplayer which I think is a fiver. I would like to get it working on kodi if anyone knows how.

So you want to stream for iptv to the zgemma, then send that stream to a fire stick?
Is that right?

Why don't you just ask your iptv agent for the format to work on a fire run it straight from there

Ahh just being a bit tight and not wanting to pay the multiroom charge

 

[siilver]

I never said to pay I said to ask for a different format

Or are do emails cost now? Lol

I want it on both tv's and I think most suppliers charge extra for that, I know its probably only 20 quid or so and I'm just being a tight arse, if I do go down that road have you any recommendations for a good iptv player for firestick with a nice epg and preferrably free;-)

 

[siilver]

So your not going to try even?
Ask and see what they say

There is a difference between watching on multi devices at the same time and watching on different devices at different time
You think or you know suppliers charge more?

Well good luck with your problem

Well to be honest I had found a better solution than dreamplayer, there's a XtreamIPTV client for kodi that works much the same as it does on the box, it was working just like the box does the problem is he's since made changes to his server setup, so the VOD section he has is gone now via kodi(it did work at first) and it kicks you off a live stream after 15mins(just like the bouquet links always do), you may want to check if you haven't watched properly for more than 15mins. You might be lucky with your supplier but most suppliers do that.

Siilver is right I was thinking the same myself, it even says one simultaneous connection in account the info of xtreamiptv so why should it matter if you watch it on a firestick or the box as long as you can only watch one or the other? I will probably fire him an email and explain it as we've already paid for it and want to at least make the most of it.

The main reason we got it was because of the US football channels once the season starts and most of the time we wont beable to watch that in the lounge. We also used to beable to watch Sly via kodi in two different rooms provided we were trying to watch the same channel(which was brilliant), since we upgraded to H5.2TC for Virmin only one person can watch at once... it might deserve a thread of it's own but does anyone know if this is due to a difference between virmin and sly or is it maybe this particular version of openwebif?

Yeah thats fine if your supplier allows you to do that without any extra charge, but if he wants to charge you then I think dreamplayer is the way to go, its working really well for me now, I did a manual refresh and its picking up everything from my zgemma, sat channels and iptv channels and all epg info the only thing is doesnt do is get picons for the iptv channels, but I spoke to the developer and he is working on that for the next version, so I now have dreamplayer on the firestick my phone and tablet and the android version is free if you dont mind the ads, so I can watch a sat channel on the zgemma and an Iptv channel on firestick or vice versa, at the same time.

I love the dreamplayer app and have it picking up what's left of the sky line but also my full iptv package. For some reason I can't seem to pick up my recordings though. Have you guys got this working?
