LIV Golf can only be watched "live" online via livgolf.com or Youtube, no tv networks, no recording.
It's legal.
I would like to be able to record it using Channels.
Is there a way, maybe using Custom channels, capturing an m3u...??
Details please, like a Tutorial.
Thanks
Yeah this starts tomorrow. Once the stream is live, we'll know whether the stream can be captured and if it is static

I just tried a sniffer for an LIV replay using Chrome.
No stream to capture.

Nice.
How did you do it?
.
Since it likely has no Guide, can you record the live stream if you get that live one?
I believe there is a way to do a manual recording with start / stop times,
otherwise it's just live, I need to record sometimes.
Thanks
That link is a replay not a live stream. So it would be better used as a .strm file because it won't work as custom channel.
Has anyone tried using this with hlstube?
http://hlstube-IP:8080/_/https://www.youtube.com/c/LIVGolfInv/live
It should work as long as there's a live stream playing there.
If no live stream playing that youtube url lands on their homepage.
And that trick of appending /live to the end of the url doesn't work if they have more than 1 live stream running. But that hasn't happened yet https://www.youtube.com/c/LIVGolfInv/videos?view=2&live_view=503
1PM EST tomorrow?
Used the hlstube in a custom channel M3U and setup a pass to record the first hour tomorrow, from 1:01-2:01 PM EST. I'll see how it goes
Decided to change the recording to 6 hrs.
All the master.m3u8's that hlstube have grabbed for me so far expire in 6 hrs, but seems it tries to grab a new one after 5 hrs. So will have to see what happens when the live stream actually ends.

So other than those minor annoyances, hlstube and placeholder EPG worked great.
For anyone trying what I did, just be prepared for it to look ugly. The recording is fine and now that I watched it wanted to show what it looks like before I trash it. If you wanted to keep it around and don't like seeing the errors, you could move it to your video imports and edit metadata and art.
