Should be enabled if there are channels supporting catchup in your M3U list.
(Default, Shift, Xtream Codes, Append, Disabled)
If enabled it is assumed that all channels support catchup using the selected mode if they do not have catchup tags. In this case the 'Query format string' and 'Catchup window' number of days will come from the add-on settings if needed. If this option is disabled then an M3U entry must have at least a 'catchup=' tag to enable catchup. The options for how to build the catch URL are: [Default] - Use catchup source as the full catchup URL, if there is no catchup source use Append mode; [Shift (SIPTV)] - Append the standard SIPTV catchup string to the channel URL; [Xtream codes] - Build an Xtream codes URL from the channel URL.; [Append] - Append the catchup source to the channel URL, if there is no catchup source using the 'Query format string'.
If the M3U entry contains a 'catchup-source' tag, then 'default' type should be selected as the catchup will process using a standard format.
catchup: http://ch01.spr24.net/151/timeshift_abs-{utc}.ts?token=my_token
catchup: http://list.tv:8888/325/timeshift_rel-{offset:1}.m3u8?token=secret
catchup: http://list.tv:8888/325/mono-timeshift_rel-{offset:1}.m3u8?token=secret
Same as append but will automatically try to find the correct string. Supports only utc time.
catchup: http://list.tv:8888/325/mono.m3u8?token=secret&utc={utc}&lutc={lutc}
catchup: http://list.tv:8888/325/mono.m3u8?token=secret?utc={utc}&lutc={lutc}
stream: http://list.tv:8080/[email protected]/my_password/1477
catchup: http://list.tv:8080/timeshift/[email protected]/my_password/{duration}/{Y}-{m}-{d}:{H}-{M}/1477.ts
stream: http://list.tv:8080/live/[email protected]/my_password/1477.m3u8
catchup: http://list.tv:8080/timeshift/[email protected]/my_password/{duration}/{Y}-{m}-{d}:{H}-{M}/1477.m3u8
Appends catchup at end of stream string, duration is set automatically by the add-on.
catchup: http://list.tv:8888/325/mono.m3u8?token=secret&utc={utc}&lutc={lutc}
catchup: http://list.tv:8888/325/mono.m3u8?token=secret&cutv={Y}-{m}-{d}T{H}:{M}:{S}
A query format string (provider dependent) allowing timestamp information to be appended to a URL to denote when to catchup from. E.g. &cutv={Y}-{m}-{d}T{H}:{M}:{S}, which allows year, month, day, hour minute and second to be inserted to give: &cutv=2019-11-26T22:00:32. If the M3U entry using has a catchup mode of 'default' or 'append' and a 'catchup-source' tag is provided in the M3U entry this setting will be ignored.
A number of days into the past in which it is possible to catchup on a programme. Auto mode will read the 'catchup=' tag in M3U list.
(hours)
Offset setting adjusts start time for catchup, in hours. This option can be helpful if the viewers timezone is different from the programs original broadcast timezone.

(Enabled, Disabled)
