Plugin: Export VODS from .m3u - split m3u livetv, tvshows, movies (Going BETA!!)

February 28

The second build etc may not work, I just had a new pc and everything built on there is not loading. Something wrong with the netcore, I have to reinstall it. The first build will be ok.

Bear with me....

Not sure, but with the log saying no input files I have to ask, did you click save settings before triggering it?

Without saving settings in the web user interface, the server backend has no information written to the settings file to read from in order to do the task.

I did. I used my curated m3u with just VOD and I used the original m3u raw. I have an iPad and both VOD work in IPTV - watch online app. I’ll try and move the file around to see if it’s a read/write issue and that is why it can’t see the m3u. I have a win 11 laptop I can try tomorrow as long as the license isn’t 1 instance.

mickle026 just want to thank you for taking this on! I know we are sending you issues but I’m sure I speak on behalf of users this is going to be awesome! I’ve tried a Python script and either I have the wrong version or a variable is not set correctly. I have no way of contacting the author. Maybe put this in GitHub so we can help with testing/qa? Thanks again!

updated build in post 1 -

Was my Error, built nestandard2 app instead of netcore2 app - sorted now

VOD inclusion words are not saving, i will investigate

Ok I have my windows 11 laptop running Emby server and C:\VOD with the raw m3u in the folder. Which DLL should I use?

February 28

It got further this time but still didn't work. This is on windows 11.

The split Live TV/Movies/TV Shows m3u files it created are empty.

February 28

There are 2 files in the first post.

Which one should we be installing?

February 28

The results I posted earlier where it ran more than my mac used the original dll. These are the results of using the newest dll.

I am looking into it

I have a few issues to address.

1st is my new pc is building empty dll's. Something to do with win 11 and unc. I have to figure that out.
2nd is saving is not saving but reloading, although theres nothing in the code thats obvious, I have that to figure out.

Please be patient my new pc is giving me more headaches that i wished for ........ its much faster but misbehaving ...

March 1

uploaded a new build to post 1,

Fixed file input error, "no input files"

March 1

Still not accepting a url.

Accepts a Downloaded file, but the m3u files are still empty.

I'm presuming i should be selecting the first dll in the first post, not the second one?

ScheduledTask-[M3UToStrm]01.Mar.2025 - 19.24.08.txt

March 1

no the second one is newest (todays date)

However the url validation check is the same in both, the plugin checks if its an url, if so downloads it, if not tries to load a local file

is your url a valid http or https ? if not then i need to know the schema (not your url, but how it is formed) to add it in to the check

        public static async Task<bool> ValidateUrl(string url, int timeoutSeconds = 10, string currentlog="")
        {
            var log = new FileLogging();

            if (Uri.TryCreate(url, UriKind.Absolute, out Uri validatedUri))
            {
                if (validatedUri.Scheme == Uri.UriSchemeHttp || validatedUri.Scheme == Uri.UriSchemeHttps)
                {
                    using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient())
                    {
                        client.Timeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(timeoutSeconds);
                        try
                        {
                            HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync(url);
                            log.LogToMyFile(currentlog, DateTime.Now.ToString("dd.MMM.yyy - HH':'mm':'ss") + $" Response Code {response.IsSuccessStatusCode.ToString()}");
                            return response.IsSuccessStatusCode;
                        }
                        catch (TaskCanceledException)
                        {
                            Console.WriteLine("The request timed out.");
                            log.LogToMyFile(currentlog, DateTime.Now.ToString("dd.MMM.yyy - HH':'mm':'ss") + $" The request timed out.");
                            return false;
                        }
                        catch (Exception ex)
                        {
                            Console.WriteLine($"An error occurred: {ex.Message}");
                            log.LogToMyFile(currentlog, DateTime.Now.ToString("dd.MMM.yyy - HH':'mm':'ss") + $" An error occurred: {ex.Message}");
                            return false;
                        }
                    }
                }
            }

            return false;
        }

I will give the second one a go shortly, in the meantime, my url is

http://line.****.me/get.php?username=*****&password=******&type=m3u_plus&output=ts

That should pass the http:// validity check , but the logs indicate that it tried to load a local file, maybe I need to alter the timeout??

Try this one with a 2 minute timeout at the url check and some more logging added to try and catch what is happening

VODtoSTRMscheduledTask.dll

March 1

Sorry, I'm tried with a url then tried with a Downloaded file. The logs were from the latter.

I will supply logs for url if it doesn't work

March 1

Log attached attempted with url - failed

Will test with downloaded file

Log for downloaded m3u.

m3u's created by plugin are still empty

Would you like me to DM you a copy of the m3u file. May help even more to see what is going on?

March 1

It would help, at the current moment I have no idea why your http link is failing to be recognised either
