Hi,
How to start, stop, or change a channel PVR from the terminal ?

# play
curl -s -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"Player.Open","params":{"item":{"channelid":14}}}' http://127.0.0.1:8080/jsonrpc 

# stop
curl -s -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"Player.Stop", "params":{"playerid": 1}}' http://127.0.0.1:8080/jsonrpc 

# get all channelid
curl -s -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"PVR.GetChannels","params":{"channelgroupid":1}}' http://127.0.0.1:8080/jsonrpc

You need to allow Kodi for remote control in Settings/Services/Control.
