You can’t combined the live streaming package with the scheduled player unfortunately. Right now the scheduled player can only stream from source if you’re able to specify a stream url. So an rtsp, hls or maybe rtp/udp for uni-/multicast.

Streams from websites with changing stream sources won’t work in the scheduled player right now as none of the logic from the live streaming package exists there. So the package has no idea how to get a stream from the euronews.com/live url. Right now that url is

This url works in the scheduled player right now but that’ll probably change randomly in the future.

Hi dennis, as I said in this post, the only ‘workaround’ that I can think of would be to play the livestream on another device, and then output it as an RTP stream so that you can then use the stream URL in the live stream plug in for the scheduled player.

Facebook livestream

If you can play the livestream on a computer then it’s possible to encode that as an RTP stream using OBS studio, which you can then enter as the stream url into the stream settings box. This would of course require the Pi device to be on the same network as the computer that was outputting the RTP stream.
