PeteLocky 22 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 an easy and temporary solution would be to incorporate xTeve for the manipulation of the m3u, when you add m3u tuners if there is more than 1, maybe the first live tv page could be an index of the tuners (custom naming of the m3u tuners would be nice as they are all called the same at the minute) like a splash? so 1 tuner you can name Entertainment and the m3u url would be to something such as xteve using parameters and so on.. ? literally the only pitfall with emby at the moment, as i said earlier, miles better than plex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EODCrafter 179 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 (edited) My house must already be awesome with only my one server then My IPTV allows 1 Stream per Login. You can buy as many sub-accounts as you like. You must have Vaders-like or Beast-like IPTV that allow multiple Streams. (Unfortunately their Service is not that great) I would have to have 3 listings of channels in the guide and each person viewing would have to know there "assigned" channel Like ABC-1, ABC-2, ABC-3. Not a ideal setup. If I'm watching ABC-1 and another user clicks on NBC-1, both channels would drop. Edited January 26, 2019 by EODCrafter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use xTeVe, but I use it to "trim" the m3u and get rid of the channels I don't want. Edited January 26, 2019 by EODCrafter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to @@Luke addition and having 1 channel listing pulling from the pool of all provider sub accounts. Because of this, most providers are now looking at IP's connected to their service so as to stop people from making their IPTV Service into a "personal" IPTV Service. Expect to see more of this...I just want it for the 3 TV's in my home. Edited January 26, 2019 by EODCrafter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexpaton 10 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) It seems to me that how IPTV m3u should work is:- -> Add IPTV m3u Source -> Run query for all unique group titles and add to database/xml. -> Show user a list of all groups, with tick boxes for each group (select which ones you want). Build in something that allows you to select/deselect empty group titles, or ones with only a space. -> Add only the groups that are selected. - WARN user of potential hazards of adding large numbers. Of course, you should also consider the possibility (probability?) that the provider will change channel listings and add or remove groups. When this happens, they should be deselected by default, but with a server only option to select new groups. IF it was done this way, you could almost clone the functionality, and have a separate import facility on the VOD content, which could be added to a 'Streams' library. I have actually exported the strm to files, and added them as a library on my Emby server, which works pretty well. Again, IF the import was done in this manner, surely the process of going to the Live TV Guide, then selecting (for example) USA would be as simple as selecting the group-title that you have previously imported. I personally have UK, USA, Canada, Australia and France, because I am greedy. In short, it seems to me that the development cycle should START with the m3u import, as it will make all of the later stages easier.

But for the above to work we need to be able to map the tags found in the m3u to the relevant Emby tags as not all IPTV providers follow the same tag naming conventions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought most of them that use categories used "group-title". I've only really used xtream-codes, which all seem to, and a few free ones, which also have, I think. How does Telly (the xTeve competitor) manage it, or does it only work with xtream ones? If they don't, then I suppose that the only thing you could do would be to introduce group-title to emby, and import multiple provider tags (that all mean category), to the same emby field. It would be a bit hit and miss at first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in no way, intending to sound like I was being demanding; rather, I was intending to try to be clear in advance, how I think it should work, in advance of the long and tedious work of developing it. If everyone does that, then a reasonable amount of consensus among users could be reached, as to how the majority of users think it should work. I see what you meant about them being different now. That was why I said that the query should be run on import (and update). That way, you have imported the group titles and written them to disk (DB or XML), and the fact that the database values are different from one provider to another, is irrelevant. I am not a developer, but I have done a fair amount of database design, and have regularly had to import like that. More importantly, I have regularly had to go back and re-design, because the client comes back with "Could you just add categories", or similar, and had to basically re-design the whole thing, because it should have been added at the beginning.
