gtali7878 4 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Hi I would like to add my iptv vod content to my emby server and Ive seen some posts that peak about certain softwares that can import your vod by converting your m3u to strm but it seems like these softwares require me update the content myself, I was wondering if there is any method that would automatically update the content every so often? thanks in advance!

Luke 37094 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Hi, does that software have options to do it automatically on a schedule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtali7878 4 Posted March 10, 2023 Author Share Posted March 10, 2023 Well the software that I was able to get is called erd xtream downloader and although I checked it doesnt seem to have an option that allows me to do it on a schedule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I mean iptveditor for generate links (m3u and EPG) for Emby and auto upgrade channels and vod, not to convert to strm because I don't know how to do that.

raychica 0 Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 (edited) you can use m2strm if you want to make strm files from VOD. i use this and it works for what you're trying to do. it will correctly output strm files to the right directories if the urls from your provider contain "/series/" for tv shows and "/movie/" for movies. (ie. "http://server:ip/user/pass/movie/477.mkv") my provider's url's are not like that so i needed to change the code so it recognizes tv shows or movies from another keyword from the urls they provide. since the urls are something like this for both movies and tv shows: "http://server:ip/user/password/something/1333.mkv", i had to use iptveditor (dot com). in iptveditor i've made one playlist to sync only tv shows and another one syncs only movies. this resolves the problem with all the links being the same because now there are no tv shows in my playlists with movies and no movies in my playlist for tv shows. but...i still had to change the code in m2strm. in m2strm's code, i've opened "Program.cs" (lines 761-767), changed the keywords for tv shows and movies from "series" and "movies" to a keyword all my links have (ie. "something" from the example link above) and built the program. so now i have two sepparate folders with two of m2strm exe's - one gets tv show .strm's, the other one gets movies .strm's. i just came to emby (kodi user for years now) yesterday and realized it will do the scan and the import and sync to kodi better than kodi can do it itself so now i'm using emby for this. i didn't even know it will work with strm files - but it does a great job with that after all above was set! it can be a nightmare to get VOD to strm, but if what i wrote can help you out - there's my two cents Edited June 14, 2023 by raychica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raychica 0 Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 oh yeah, about syncing - i just made a scheduled task every morning to run in the background. so it automatically deletes what's deleted and adds what's new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryan3301 2 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I have the Docker container (https://hub.docker.com/r/hooray4rob/ustreamgen) configured and running; however, I am not seeing any results. I am hoping someone can provide some advice. Here is what I am trying to accomplish. My IPTV provider provides one M3U tile and one EPG file. This file contains Live TV, VOD shows, and Movies. I am running an Emby server, and right now, everything shows under Live TV. My goal is to create a custom M3U file for Live TV only, then have a M3U to STRM solution parse the original file and make STRM files for the VODs and Movies. This way, the Emby interface is much cleaner and organized. I would like the M3U file processed at least once per day to keep current. My M3U files are as follows: Live TV Channels: #EXTINF:-1,USA A&E UHD http://xxxxxxxxxx.xx:80/xxxxx/xxxxx/175784.ts #EXTINF:-1,USA AccuWeather http://xxxxxxxxxx.xx:80/xxxxx/xxxxx/175785.ts VODs - Notice the "series" in the URL: #EXTINF:-1,Four More Shots Please S02E04 http://xxxxxxxxxx.xx:80/series/xxxxx/xxxxx/918853.mp4 #EXTINF:-1,Four More Shots Please S02E05 http://xxxxxxxxxx.xx:80/series/xxxxx/xxxxx/2166705.mp4 Movies - Notice "movie" in the URL: #EXTINF:-1,Changing the Game (2019) http://xxxxxxxxxx.xx:80/movie/xxxxx/xxxxx/2720918.mp4 #EXTINF:-1,2 Days in New York (2012) http://xxxxxxxxxx.xx:80/movie/xxxxx/xxxxx/2720920.mp4 Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

bryan3301 2 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I have only configured the M3U URL in Emby. As noted above, this URL contains channels, as well as, TV Show Video on Demand (Series) and Movie content. My goal is to get all the VOD content out of the "Live TV" section and have it show as if it is local content by creating STRM files. I have seen various tools posted to do this, one being the Docker container above; however, the container is not producing the STRM files. This is not an Emby bug or problem, I am just hoping some of the others that have made this work can help me out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes me wonder if there is a problem with the download (I have validated the URL works). I am hoping someone smarter than I may be able to assist. Thanks so much in advance!
