Philo Appears To Have Live Channels Integration Now

by Andrroid

Philo now shows as a channel source. I had to restart live channels after setup but now all 44 channels are showing alongside my OTA channels!

Edit: epg and audio don't seem to be working though and the stream quality is really bad...

Oops, we enabled this completely on accident. We will build a proper integration with Live Channels, but believe it or not, it is non trivial. We're doing some other work on the player in support of our mobile Android app (!!!) that we need to finish up before we can take on Live Channels.

Again, apologies for the false hope on this one!

I wonder how they will make the DVR work with Live Channels? It won't be all that great if you still have to go over to the Philo app to use the DVR.

This would actually be really nice, I hope they roll this out.

Looks like channel numbers still need to be assigned as well, but this is awesome. Tuning channels is quick, too. Hopefully they iron it out soon.

Great news, hope they fix the program guide and audio soon! Philo continuously exceeds expectations

Aww, I looked for this when I noticed the app had updated, but somehow failed to see it. :(

That said, the watch next integration that came with the previous update and being able to put channels on the home screen is good enough for me, I'd just like Live Channels to be more useful without a tuner. ;)
