QUESTION: stream url for channel

[aaamoeder]

I'm trying to find a stream url for one of the channels so I can then try to use it inside home assistant (automatically casting to tv) , but don't know where to look.
Anyone able to help ?

PS: sorry to post this here but didn't know where else to ask...

Well... that won't work for several reasons I think.
You need to authenticate yourself before you can start any stream, this could be done with a custom script (or addon) in HomeAssistant, but the main problem will be decoding the stream as I don't see a way to use or even install Widevine on HA.

My 2 cents.

Correct. You might look into starting an activity that uses the official Yelo app. A bit like asking the Google assistant to play a movie on Netflix.

Perhaps this could be of use: https://github.com/skorokithakis/catt and start it from HA.

Thanks for your replies ! I hadn't thought it would be so complicated, guess I'll have to look for a different way.

Is your goal having a card in HA displaying a TV stream?
