• kodi::addon::CInstancePVRClient::GetEPGTagStreamProperties()
• kodi::addon::CInstancePVRClient::GetRecordingStreamProperties()

Example:

...
 
PVR_ERROR CMyPVRInstance::GetChannelStreamProperties(const kodi::addon::PVRChannel& channel,
                                                     std::vector<PVRStreamProperty>& properties)
{
  ...
  properties.emplace_back(PVR_STREAM_PROPERTY_INPUTSTREAM, "inputstream.adaptive");
  properties.emplace_back("inputstream.adaptive.manifest_type", "mpd");
  properties.emplace_back("inputstream.adaptive.manifest_update_parameter", "full");
  properties.emplace_back(PVR_STREAM_PROPERTY_MIMETYPE, "application/xml+dash");
  return PVR_ERROR_NO_ERROR;

Macro Definition Documentation

PVR_STREAM_PROPERTY_STREAMURL

#define PVR_STREAM_PROPERTY_STREAMURL   "streamurl"

the URL of the stream that should be played.

PVR_STREAM_PROPERTY_INPUTSTREAM

#define PVR_STREAM_PROPERTY_INPUTSTREAM   STREAM_PROPERTY_INPUTSTREAM

To define in stream properties the name of the inputstream add-on that should be used.

Leave blank to use Kodi's built-in playing capabilities or to allow ffmpeg to handle directly set to PVR_STREAM_PROPERTY_VALUE_INPUTSTREAMFFMPEG.

PVR_STREAM_PROPERTY_INPUTSTREAM_PLAYER

#define PVR_STREAM_PROPERTY_INPUTSTREAM_PLAYER   STREAM_PROPERTY_INPUTSTREAM_PLAYER

To define in stream properties the player the inputstream add-on should use.

Leave blank to use Kodi's built-in player selection mechanism. Permitted values are:

• "videodefaultplayer"
• "audiodefaultplayer"

PVR_STREAM_PROPERTY_INPUTSTREAM_INSTANCE_ID

#define PVR_STREAM_PROPERTY_INPUTSTREAM_INSTANCE_ID   STREAM_PROPERTY_INPUTSTREAM_INSTANCE_ID

Identification string for an input stream.

This value can be used in addition to PVR_STREAM_PROPERTY_INPUTSTREAM. It is used to provide the respective inpustream addon with additional identification.

The difference between this and other stream properties is that it is also passed in the associated kodi::addon::CAddonBase::CreateInstance() call.

This makes it possible to select different processing classes within the associated add-on.

Example:

...
 
// On PVR instance of addon
PVR_ERROR CMyPVRInstance::GetChannelStreamProperties(const kodi::addon::PVRChannel& channel,
                                                     std::vector<PVRStreamProperty>& properties)
{
  ...
  // For here on example the inpustream is also inside the PVR addon
  properties.emplace_back(PVR_STREAM_PROPERTY_INPUTSTREAM, "pvr.my_one");
  properties.emplace_back(PVR_STREAM_PROPERTY_INPUTSTREAM_INSTANCE_ID, "my_special_id_1");
  return PVR_ERROR_NO_ERROR;
}
 
...
 
// On CAddonBase part of addon
ADDON_STATUS CMyAddon::CreateInstanceEx(int instanceType,
                                        std::string instanceID,
                                        KODI_HANDLE instance,
                                        KODI_HANDLE& addonInstance
                                        const std::string& version)
{
  if (instanceType == ADDON_INSTANCE_INPUTSTREAM)
  {
    kodi::Log(ADDON_LOG_INFO, "Creating my special inputstream");
    if (instanceID == "my_special_id_1")
      addonInstance = new CMyPVRClientInstance_Type1(instance, version);
    else if (instanceID == "my_special_id_2")
      addonInstance = new CMyPVRClientInstance_Type2(instance, version);
    return ADDON_STATUS_OK;
  }
  else if (...)
  {
    ...
  }
  return ADDON_STATUS_UNKNOWN;
}
