M3U TV not saving when trying to create

[Speedytag 1]

I have tried to install a new provider using this M3U

I've amended the login and password for security.

It failed to save. I have tried multiple times.  I'm hoping this part of the log might help.

Hi, that error appears to be telling you the URL entered isn't valid as it couldn't find it.

Have you tried loading the URL in a browser to verify it's valid?

It's possible this could work in a browser but not in Emby and that would be because the provider is blocking the request based on the user agent being sent.  You can adjust this as needed in the m3u setup of the tuner.

Yes, irs valid as it works in other apps, just not Emby. Can I change any settings at this end?

If you put that exact url in a browser address bar, you get back proper XML?

It seems to be OK.  I can load it into IPTV Smarters and it works fine.

[ebr 14904]

The provider may be looking for a specific user agent.  Have you tried modifying that in the Emby settings?

[martyboy26 0]

Sorry, I’m a bit of a newbie.  What do I input in the user agent section?

[Carlo 4330]

Well first we need you to try putting the URL in a web browser like Chrome to see if that returns the file.

That’s what I got when I typed in the xml address for the EPG

Would you be able to check it if I sent you the complete URL to somewhere private?

[Carlo 4330]

Sure send me a PM and I'd be happy to test this on my test server.

This looks like more an issue with it timing out then a user agent issue.  The m3u file has more than 800K lines in it and full of VOD & 24/7 channels.

What you want to do with a list like this is setup xTeVe https://github.com/xteve-project/xTeVe

Setup xTeVe to read in the m3u & XML files then apply filters to remove the 24/7 and VOD channels.
Then apply filters to narrow down the list to only countries that are needed.

You can then narrow those down as well to get a good assortment of channels you will actually use that have guide data.

xTeVe will give you a new URLs to use that you would enter in Emby. This will only contain the filtered channels and should load at that point in Emby Server.
