Then try to clean kodi package and build image again. Check with grep for changes in a file.

Already did this:

PROJECT=... ARCH=... ./scripts/clean kodi
PROJECT=... ARCH=... make image

Ah, my mistake (didn't saw your whole message).

Anyway, I read code superficially - the names must be lowercase. This patch will do the work:

Change the patch, clean kodi, make image. Then it will work.

I opened the .cpp file and it seems fine to me. There's also a .cpp.orig file which I guess is the original.

You need to replace the patch file. As you can see header names must be lowercase. You can check with grep or open file directly.

Code

grep subid build.LibreELEC-*/kodi-*/xbmc/cores/VideoPlayer/DVDDemuxers/DVDDemuxFFmpeg.cpp

Code

name == "x-correlation-id" || name == "subid" || name == "stbid")

If still doesn't work then I need to test myself with one real URL.

Yes, with second patch it should work:

Code

2019-10-17 06:56:23.221 T:140245014845184   DEBUG: CurlFile::ParseAndCorrectUrl() adding custom header option 'STBID: 1'
2019-10-17 06:56:23.221 T:140245014845184   DEBUG: CurlFile::ParseAndCorrectUrl() adding custom header option 'SUBID: 1'

It effectively worked !

I still have to figure out how to match channel playlist with the EPG but at least I now have the stream playing.

Excellent news!

Regarding EPG:

Code

from m3u8
#EXTINF:-1 group-title="Primary" tvg-id="CH 1 HD" tvg-logo="ch_1_hd.png",CH 1 HD
http://something

from xmltv
<channel id="CH 1 HD">
<display-name lang="en">CH 1 HD</display-name>
</channel>

<programme start="20191010002500 +0200" stop="20191010005000 +0200" channel="CH 1 HD">
<title lang="en">Some thing</title>
</programme>

I have the EPG XML file and it seems like it's properly formatted. Being able to generate part of the playlist from the XML would simplify my life a lot but will probably figure it out relatively easily.
