Luke 37259 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I'm saying the answer is probably a custom user agent, which is available on the m3u settings page. It's possible they are rejecting based on other http request headers, but most likely it is the user agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Normal Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) This is not the problem. Tested multiple user agents from here https://deviceatlas.com/blog/list-of-user-agent-strings and here https://udger.com/resources/ua-list Spinning wheel is still my best friend. If this feature is not working for a year soon I would suggest completely removing it until it works. You should really test it yourself ... forget the logs. They do not seem to help you at all.

I'm talking about EODCrafter's iptv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Normal Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Ok now I'm confused. Not important. I will just wait for an update and until it's working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EODCrafter 180 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 In EODCrafter's case, his iptv provider is sending back a 403 response code saying Forbidden. Why are they doing this? That question is specific to every provider. Sometimes customizing the user agent field can help fool them. Tell us how to customize that field please.....

Luke 37259 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Ok now I'm confused. Not important. I will just wait for an update and until it's working. That probably will not happen without some level of working together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37259 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Tell us how to customize that field please..... The user agent is how emby server presents itself to your iptv provider. So for example, if you wanted to make it present like the chrome browser on windows, you could enter: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.16 Safari/537.36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EODCrafter 180 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 That probably will not happen without some level of working together. I sent more logs that show 1 channel not working and the other channel working..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Normal Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) I don't know how many times to repeat that: the best way would be if you test it yourself with the provided m3u lists / links of us. Because you have all sources you could discover the problem in a few days - I BET it! People are already angry because of the way you ask information all the time which do not seem to help at all. That probably will not happen without some level of working together. This to me sounds like that nearly (sorry for that): "If nobody helps us finding bugs we produced, we won't fix them". This is more than a shame in my opinion. btw: user agent "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.16 Safari/537.36" not working. The bug is not fixed using another user agent. Edited September 21, 2018 by Normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those both work flawlessly. Edited September 21, 2018 by EODCrafter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37259 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 That's not the case at all. IPTV is different from any other feature because these things vary per provider, per stream. That is what I have been trying to say this whole time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thos both work flawlessly. I didn't say that it would work. I just said that it is something you could try. Maybe there is another user agent that your iptv provider will accept. Or maybe something else in our request headers needs adjustment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Normal Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) I'm still 100% sure it's Embys fault. VLC works fine. Default VLC user agent is "vlc X.Y.0-git-20100330-0003" and doesn't work either so .... (X Y for the version) Looking into your code would maybe let you see how to resolve the problem Edited September 21, 2018 by Normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure there is something we can adjust in the request headers, but until we work together, nothing will get solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37259 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I am going to lock this thread. If anyone is having an issue, please feel free to send me a sample m3u and I am happy to personally test it. Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
