Roy sloane 6 Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Hi I am new to emby but looking at purchasing a lifetime pass. The only problem is I havent a clue of how to add my IPTV to Emby, I'm not really computer friendly but undestand the basics. I was hoping someone maybe able to guide me through it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwhodges 1534 Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 On the Plugins section of the settings menu on the dashboard, check that the IPTV plugin is installed (I can't recall if it's there by default - if not, go to the Catalog tab and install it). There should now be an IPTV entry in the settings menu. Go to it, and press the [+add] button. This brings up a small form where you can put the URL of your IPTV.

ebr 14935 Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Hi. I think you likely want to use the Live TV M3U tuner feature rather than the IPTV plug-in. How to add and configure an M3U Tuner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How to add and configure an M3U Tuner Just an FYI, if you haven't clicked it lately... The URL in this paragraph needs to be updated/altered: "See examples of m3u files at http://xmtvplayer.com/build-m3u-file (skip down to the HTTP Live Streaming & ignore the top section)". It is now a "buy this domain"-like dead link. Actually, I just noticed in the fine print that that's what it is: "This webpage was generated by the domain owner using Sedo Domain Parking."

pwhodges 1534 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 (edited) My first search showed the domain name xmtvplayer.com expired on 17 June 2023. But a different search showed it created as a new domain on 4 Sept 2023 with different nameservers. I guess it closed, and a parked domain has been created, as indicated above.

It was the wrong suggestion in this case - but I am using the plugin to accept a video feed from a webcam, for which it is just right.

You need to find an iptv source that provides an m3u. Once you have that, then you can import it into emby server by following: Live TV Setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
