media-plugins/ kodi-pvr-iptvsimple

Hi everyone, I installed apps/kodi-21.2-r5+2 with luet and downloaded and installed the WorldLiveTV repo (https://worldlivetv.github.io/repo/) to watch TV. I couldn't find media-plugins/kodi-pvr-iptvsimple (https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/media-plugins/kodi-pvr-iptvsimple). Is it possible to add it to the community repository? Have a good day and keep up the good work.

We are aware, it was problematic to build it, a good time to re-assess this will be in the next release cycle.

Thank you very much, have a good day.

Hello, it is not possible to build the plugin unless we use the unstable kodi, which is potentially unstable.
I have requested a stabilization for the package. Let's wait and see.

Thank you so much for your interest in this matter. Have a good Sunday. ;-)

Don't mention it!
We have had it in the past, but at some point just has become impossible to build.
The topic is open.

I think VLC or MPlayer-based apps (like SMPlayer or MPV) are capable to play IPTV.

Let's hope they manage to have a solution in a timely fashion.
