AliveGR is a feature-rich, high-performance Kodi video addon dedicated to Greek streaming content. It aggregates and streams Greek national and regional live television broadcasts, music television and charts, movies, TV series, shows, theatrical performances, documentaries, and kids content from publicly available internet sources into a cohesive, user-friendly interface.
- Panhellenic & Regional Lineup: Comprehensive coverage of Greek national networks (ERT, MEGA, ANT1, ALPHA, STAR, SKAI, OPEN, etc.), Cypriot broadcasts, regional stations organized by geographical region, and Web TV channels.
- Per-Stream DRM & License Handling: Full support for Widevine/DRM encrypted streams through
inputstream.adaptive, complete with stream-specific license unpacking and custom HTTP headers. - Intelligent Multi-Stream Fallback & Selection:
- "Choose Stream" Context Menu: Select specific video feeds per channel with persistent user preference saving across reboots.
- Silent Auto-Failover: Automatically cycles through fallback streams if the active link is offline or geo-restricted.
- "Zap from Here" (Ζάπινγκ από εδώ): Context menu action that queues all subsequent channels in the current category into Kodi's video playlist with looping playback, enabling continuous channel flipping (Next / Previous) without returning to the menu.
- Dynamic Grouping & Switcher Modes: Filter channels by group (Panhellenic, Pancypriot, Regional, Web TV, Music, Kids, Cinema, etc.) with configurable switching modes and quick group headers.
- Network Logo Fetching & Caching: Fast, lightweight remote logo retrieval cached locally via
script.module.unicachewithout requiring heavy static logo packs.
