Koml 0 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Hello I have searched for some guidelines for how to get LiveTV to work. I have a m3u file from a payed provider that work fine in VLC. When i add the m3u file or url in emby it comes up with all the channels but i cant seem to get any video on any channels even those who work great in vlc. Have i missed anything? It is just to put the m3u url/file in LIVE TV - Add Tuner Device - m3u Tuner and put the link in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rechner123 12 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Maybe you can post an example from your m3u playlist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koml 0 Posted December 20, 2017 Author Share Posted December 20, 2017 I have tryed to install the IPTV plugin and there i can add one by one tv channel but i cant add the hole m3u file in emby direct and get it to work All help is appreciated thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 32931 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Instead of using the plugin just set up the m3u under live TV setup in the emby server dashboard. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koml 0 Posted December 21, 2017 Author Share Posted December 21, 2017 I have had some progress.. How it is now is that when i try to start a channel i have to wait for about 3-4 minutes and then there is a frozen picture, i then have to wait 2-4 minutes more before the channel starts play. In VLC it works straight away and also if i add the channels to the plugin IPTV (but this is not a long term solution) thanks for help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 32931 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I imported the m3u and was able to play three different channels without any problems, including the channel you have highlighted above, in both emby theater and the web app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koml 0 Posted December 24, 2017 Author Share Posted December 24, 2017 That was strange.. If i import the m3u file i sent you in LIVE TV and start play i have to wait for 3-10 minutes before i get feed. I choose some of the channels and added in plugin IPTV and there it start play in about 1-4 seconds. Do you have any ide of what i could check or change? I can take a video to show you if that may help? I just cant figure out why it take so long time for channels to start play in LIVE TV Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chezmorris 0 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Hello Forgive me for jumping in here, but I appear to have nearly the same issue as Koml. I should start off by saying I am a complete novice here so I may have just missed something obvious. In my case: - Live TV loads up the M3U file which is a large mixture of VOD videos and actual live TV streams. - I can see all channels in the channel list. - The VOD "channels" play straight away. - None of the live TV channels work. Using the IPTV Plug-in, the one live TV channel that I have loaded runs straight away. Any further thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chezmorris 0 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Here are various screenshots. Difficult to actually show the problem in action as nothing happens. No error message is produced Screenshot of Live TV Settings Screenshot of TV Channels - At present there a over 2,500 but I will cut this down once I know that Emby works. Screenshot of VOD Channel Working Screenshot of TV Channel Not Working - Not that it shows much!

kikinjo 135 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Same issue here (emby teather), it takes 3-5 minutes to stream to start, or error message.

Luke 32931 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 @@chezmorris, sorry there is just a lot of activity in that log that I am having a hard time determining which is related to the time of your problem. do you mind restarting the server, recreating the problem again, and then attaching a new log? if an ffmpeg log is generated in the same logs folder, then please attach that as well. thanks !
