			== Compatibility with other Kodi PVR Add-ons ==

			As OpenWebIf is capable of outputting M3U and XMLTV files it is also possible to configure other PVR add-ons to work with Enigma2 backends such as:

			* the [[Add-on:PVR_IPTV_Simple_Client\| PVR IPTV Simple Client]] directly
			* as a source for the TVHeadend backend and then via the [[Add-on:Tvheadend_HTSP_Client\|TVHeadend HTSP Client]]
