Updating NASA public/media streams

[zeitkunst]

Per the information on this page (https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=39438.0 ), I've updated the stream URLs to the new versions, as well as combining the public and educational streams into a single option. The Media channel doesn't work on my OSMC box running on my raspberry pi, but the URL works fine within VLC. Seems like the lower quality streams for the Media channel all resolve to 404s, while the highest quality stream works fine, so possibly things work fine on a Kodi box with more power than my rpi.

Also, the "ISS Live Stream" URL resolves to a 404, but I didn't remove it as I'm unsure if there is a new stream URL or not.

Re-writing the "ISS Live Stream" URL to the format of the working "ISS HD Earth Viewing - ustream" stream worked for me:

        'title': 'ISS Live Stream',
        'logo': 'iss.jpg',
        'stream_url': ('http://iphone-streaming.ustream.tv/uhls/'
                       '9408562/streams/live/iphone/playlist.m3u8'),

Seems like a nice addition, thanks! Unfortunately I have no time available to handle this.
I would suggest just adding yourself to the authors, raising the version and push your fork to the repo.

We see that the LIVE ISS line right above returns the following, but it doesn't seem to work - is that chunklist.m3u8 correct still ?

media - u3bsq1u8e_1525592.ts
#EXTINF:10.026,
media - u3bsq1u8e_1525593.ts
#EXTINF:10.026,
media - u3bsq1u8e_1525594.ts

But, what should the exact uri that is passed to a media player be though to play the stream?

@karhukoti you have a m3u playlist in this link - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RuiJMoreira/IPTV/master/nasa.m3u to open the streams in your media player.

For example in VLC go to File (top right corner) > "Open network stream" > paste the following link "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RuiJMoreira/IPTV/master/nasa.m3u" > finally click on "Play".
To switch between channels you can press "Ctrl+L".

If you prefer just one channel simply do the same thing, but change the link to one of this:
NASA PUBLIC - https://nasa-i.akamaihd.net/hls/live/253565/NASA-NTV1-Public/master.m3u8
NASA TV MEDIA - https://nasa-i.akamaihd.net/hls/live/253566/NASA-NTV2-Media/master.m3u8
LIVE ISS STREAM - http://d2ai41bknpka2u.cloudfront.net/live/iss.stream_source/chunklist.m3u8

You can use other media players like Kodi (with PVR IPTV Simple Client), for example, but you need to input the playlist url instead of the direct channel stream.
