STRMLNK/Deeplink Help Aus FTA

Playground
#1

Trying to make a STRMLNK source for Australian Live TV.

I have an app that currently can launch into some of the free to air Australian apps, but would like to have it in the channels guide with my personal media and other sources.

So far I have the following (which is the same as the other deep linking app)

  • ABC - working (deep links to page before live stream)
  • SBS - working (deep links direct to stream)
  • Nine - working (deep links to channel selection)

I just need to solve the last 2.

7Plus and 10.

So far I've gotten this on the remaining two.

10

10play://live opening the channel selection, though I know through using another app you can directly launch the channels.

The http links go like http://10.com.au/live/ten or http://10.com.au/live/comedy, but these don't work on tvOS (only iOS)

7

seven://live-tv take you to channel selection on ios but not on tvOS, and via the other app I also know the channels can be direct launched on tvOS.

the http links are Channel 7 Live TV - Stream & Watch Free TV Online at 7plus Live | 7plus or Channel 7 Live TV - Stream & Watch Free TV Online at 7plus Live | 7plus. These also do not work on tvOS, but do on iOS if changed to 7plus.app.link

I feel like I'm not far off but I'm just not sure how to get those links to work/finding how the convert to the deep link scheme.

Any help in figuring out how they've set up the deep links to the channels would be greatly appreciated.

I seemed to have found the 7Plus links.

tvOS = seven://Live/Seven and iOS = seven://live-tv/Seven.

With Console.app on macOS you can view the logs from Apple TV, and sometimes you may get lucky and see something in there. I would check there when using the app other which can launch links.

Thanks for the reply.

I did see that as a suggestion but for my iPhone and when I was launching it was saying tenplay:.

Guessing there is no way to stop that from being private?

Somehow stumbled upon the deep links using the url scheme of 7plus and using the old channel names.

So for those who may be interested, at this point in time.

Ch 10 - tenplay://live?channel=ten
Ch 11 Comedy - tenplay://live?channel=peach
Ch 12 Drama - tenplay://live?channel=bold
Ch 13 Nickelodeon - tenplay://live?channel=shake

Tried tenplay://live?channel=drama and it took me to a FAST channel so if someone wanted they could probably try guess all of those (though not really of interest to me).
