nunuxx 3 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Hi, I'm using "Iptv 1.1.9.0" extension - I put playlist.m3u8 url then i choose name and picture - All is fine on PC/MAC/ANDROID Smartphone/Iphone/etc... - BUT not on Android TV : Android TV need "Transcoding option" enable (but I don't want it) Here is mediainfo with transcoding : On the left > my transcode On the right > emby transcode of my transcode (lol) It's clearly the SAME instead emby segment are 1 second, mine 8 seconds --- When I watch on browser here is nerd stats : As you can see it's "Directplay" (no need transcoding > option is turned OFF) --- Then I checked log : I tried to change the max bitrate without success (maybe you have solution for that?) --- I'm using 1000 devices subscription, I really need this working Note : It's working fine on "Jellyfin Android TV" app Note² : It's worked fine few month ago with Emby server 4.6.x and Android TV app 1.8.x I'm using Emby BETA version and all is uptodate I don't understand why it's working everywhere but not in Android TV ? --- Tell me more please?

Carlo 4331 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 For clarification, are you setting up your channels in Live TV/DVR setup area of Emby Server or in the IPTV plugin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunuxx 3 Posted September 5, 2021 Author Share Posted September 5, 2021 Iptv plugin 1.1.9.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4331 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 That's really not the way to go as you get no guide data, no DVR or other TV features. This also won't allow you to configure Android TV properly for Live TV to not transcode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37251 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Where did you set the bitrate limit? Try setting it higher than 40 mbps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14959 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Hi. The first thing you should do is remove the IPTV plug-in and add your m3u file as a Live TV tuner. Then let us know how the playback is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo 4331 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 As has been said, it sounds like you're using the wrong functionality of Emby for this. You want to setup your Live TV in the Live TV/DVR section of the Emby Server, not in the IPTV plugin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunuxx 3 Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 @cayarsAs I SAID : I'm USING IPTV 1.1.9.0 plugin from the "Extensions" field into Emby Panel I put NAME + URL (finishing with .m3u8) + image url Then protocol : HTTP Works fine on BROWSER (CHROME) DIRECTPLAY without transcoding : Works fine on Emby Smartphone app too without transcoding *BUT* NOT into Android TV App > Problem is : --- Then it's working FINE into JELLYFIN .. AND it's worked fine few weeks ago with EMBY 4.6.x and Android TV app 1.8.x without transcoding I'm using Emby BETA (now 4.7.0.9) : If i turn ON transcoding option : it's WORKING, BUT it's transcoding as the same I already do ! This is insane ? Why Transcoding WITH SAME format SAME options : All is same (AVC / AAC LC / all others things) ? Please help me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4331 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 We understand this, but we're trying to tell you this is the wrong approach for setting up Live TV. IPTV plugin wasn't designed for Live TV but for single streams. If you want your clients to be able to direct play or direct stream Live TV vs always transcoding then you need to set this up using Live TV not IPTV plugin. If you follow our lead and set this up in Live TV it should work much better for you and give you the full TV experience as designed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4331 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 With that said, it appears on that specific Android client you have a bitrate limit set that is causing the transcode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo 4331 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Check your user settings. I don't have the client in front of me to look but I think it's in the Playback menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14959 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Hi. Can you show us how you have this setup now in the Live TV section of the dashboard? Did you remove the IPTV plugin as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I removed the IPTV plugin, then into "Setup" > "TV Sources" (clicked on PLUS) > Type > M3U > File or URL > URL > https://myurl/folder/playlist.m3u8 Then "Save" Nothing else?

Carlo 4331 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 That's not a valid URL you entered unless that's just for show and "myurl" is actually a domain name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo 4331 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 That isn't a valid URL either. Are you giving us a place holder for myurl.ext but really using something else for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunuxx 3 Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 I don't understand ?! of course https://myurl.ext/folder/playlist.m3u8 does NOT exist... are you a troll ? This is just the schema of my REAL URL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4331 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I'm trying to help you but wanting to make sure what you're entering is correct. Is the URL self hosted or on an Internet computer? Can you download it via web browser? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunuxx 3 Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 It's a server. Yes i can download it from the web. Please can you read my first post please? All is working : browser / android smartphone app / etc ONLY on Android TV app it doesn't. That's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4331 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Right but that was using IPTV plugin and we asked you to setup live tv using LiveTV/DVR menu. So your results should be different now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
