Thanks. Careful... I see what you are doing... Saying you have been focusing on making live tv better, and more live tv updates are coming.. Thanks.. But your comment sounds like "Nope, I don't care about this thing that is important to you, but check out all of the other cool stuff I made time for that I do care about in 4.6" I know that's not what you mean.. but sounds like it a little...

It was just saying that things are moving, even if we haven't gotten to this specific thing yet. But stay tuned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neoskateur 10 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) @Luke For multiple IPTV stream I have an idea which may not be the best, but still an easy one to implement. I have multiple link for IPTV each one for 1 stream at a time who looks like this: http://s1.pixel4k.vision:80/xmltv.php?username="usernane"&password="password"&output=ts but when you use a custom M3U app you can see multiple channel ex: #EXTINF: -1 tvg-name=" C8 HD" tvg-logo="http://134.255.234.197/logos/c8.png" group-title="FRANCE HD", C8 HD http://s1.pixel4k.vision:80/*RANDOMNUMBERS*/*RANDOMNUMBER*/*CHANNELNUMBER* And all addresses use the same numbers, just channel is changing (logical) #EXTINF: -1 tvg-name=" W9 HD" tvg-logo="http://134.255.234.197/logos/w9.png" group-title="FRANCE HD", W9 HD http://s1.pixel4k.vision:80/*Same_RANDOMNUMBERS*/*Same_RANDOMNUMBER*/*New_CHANNELNUMBER* First NUMBERS LIST is username and second is the password btw. So an easy way would be to use one m3u for all the channels needed to store them. So when a user try to use the TV if a number is already in use, then the server just need to swtich with another one if provided. BTW, any API to develop a plugin ? I could do that.

neoskateur 10 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I've found an API for emby. The goal is to support multiple "usernames" and "password" for IPTV, store them and use them for the same channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hum what I'm trying to say, is that all providers now uses M3U_PLUS or M3U8 (not sure about the use), but they give you a custom link with username and password yes. And all channels are the same link in the m3u but with different username and pass. So an easy way to handle multiple iptv at a time would be to setup multiple user/pass in the server, and when a user try to use the TV, the server check if one of the users in the list is already in use or not. If not in use, then the server attribute one available username/pass to the active user and now knows it's not available for the next user who will try to use IPTV. I'm sorry if I'm not clear but it's kinda very simple to do (in my head actually). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't simplify that down to just a workable video url for each channel then a new type of tuner source plugin will be needed that is specially designed for that.

I'll try to simplify it: The providers give you a link who look like this for each user: http://s1.pixel4k.vision:80/get.php?username=111111111&password=11110000&type=m3u_plus&output=ts http://s1.pixel4k.vision:80/get.php?username=222222222&password=22220000&type=m3u_plus&output=ts And when you enter one of the link into emby, it detects each channels available. But when you use a custom M3U editor you can manage channels and see what you M3U looks like. For exemple a channel will look like this: #EXTINF: -1 tvg-name=" C8 HD" tvg-logo="http://134.255.234.197/logos/c8.png" group-title="FRANCE HD", C8 HD http://s1.pixel4k.vision:80/111111111/11110000/76512 If you see it right, then you can see that: s1.pixel4k.vision:80 -> server address 15656165231 -> username 165654654 -> password 76512 -> channel number AND the channel remain the same for ALL USERS AND PROVIDERS, they are universals. So what I'm saying is, In emby server the admin adds a M3U file, or a link who grab all the channels directly. But if the admin can add a batch of server_address/username/password, then the server just have to replace that part when trying to reach the channel, ex: The channel in the server is using this address: http://s1.pixel4k.vision:80/11111111/11110000/76512 but it's already in use or detect "No stream available", then he can try to reach the same channel with another username: http://s1.pixel4k.vision:80/22222222/22220000/76512 Not sure if I'm clear, but it should work, I've tryed a simple script working on my windows, who's checking the list, but it could be great to have this "Feature" into the server.

northyj0e 2 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 There's an xteve fork called threadfin by fyb3roptik which supports this, unfortunately for now it's entirely manual, you have to chose the 'backup' channels individually, but the dev is extremely active and responsive, which cannot be said for the xteve team who seem to think that improvement is not necessary at all.

johnsonflix 1 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Yes this! I found a iptv provider that is amazing but am limited to 2 streams and I need 8. If emby could combine those and use a second m3u when the first one is all used up I would continue to buy emby! Right now I just going to have to use the bad iptv apps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnsonflix 1 Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 There is a service called IPTVeditor which i use now. What it does is take the "master m3u" and it changes the username and password to whatever is set on a users account. I would think this implementation would solve the issue for some people in here. It would allow giving each family member their own IPTV subscription then and it would fill in the m3u with their set credentials. Now if the issue is number of streams for a single user this wouldn't solve that problem. I would absolutely love to see some additional IPTV development in Emby. I use iMplayer right now but it is limited to android. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
