I have a great little PC that is 10x more powerful than any of my android boxes. I have that PC connected to my main TV. I can use it to watch or listen to any of my emby libraries, surf the net, do my office work, and (the plan was to) watch live tv. Hmmmm, TV is a TV, PC is a PC, I guess I'm old School.

EODCrafter 180 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Another thing to consider, These IPTV Providers have figured out that users want to "share" their Streams on Media Players like Emby, and have cleverly figured out ways to make it tough to do on Media Players. Something to consider also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KegTapper 7 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) I see that you were able to login using XC. Did you extract the m3u from your XC login? Or did your provider provide an m3u. A lot are getting away from providing them. Edited April 5, 2022 by KegTapper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She also told me the EPG was integrated into that M3U link. I'm not sure what that means, but that's what she said. I'm not very technical, so I'm not sure how to "extract the m3u". Can you explain?

emveepee 112 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 The problem might not be the m3u list. Perhaps the XMLTV file is massive which could be a problem even with a reduced channel list. Perhaps try NextPVR which also is netcore and sqlite to see if is an Emby only problem. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusJ 18 Posted April 5, 2022 Author Share Posted April 5, 2022 Thank you, Martin. When you say "try NextPVR", are you referring to an emby plugin or is NextPVR a separate app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emveepee 112 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I'd install it standalone just to see how long it takes to load for a comparison baseline with Emby. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusJ 18 Posted April 5, 2022 Author Share Posted April 5, 2022 I have a VPN (ExpressVPN). Could that affect anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37084 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 You can probably get around that by changing the user agent or referrer option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emveepee 112 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 But since they are blocking Emby because of what they imply is bad application logic, you probably shouldn't. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37084 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I don't think we have bad application logic. Maybe we did a long time ago, but newer versions nowadays have added a number of measures to prevent excess connections, which I think is what their issue was back when.
