Live TV - M3u Tuner

[makarai 108]

Hello Gents,

 

I am trying to get liveTV running using the m3u tuner, i created a m3u file that works flawlessly on a windows machine with VLC. I had to setup IGPM proxy and Multicast to get it working but now i can browse through 200 channels that my ISP provides, using VLC.

 

However, when I run the same file on my emby setup (freenas/ freebsd 11.1 ,  emby@3.4.5.1) its stuck in a loop, i am not sure why this is.

 

Here is the relevant part of log, i think. This may be very well a mono problem on freebsd, and if so i just like to know

 

cheers

Please try the latest beta, then attach the complete emby server log if there is still an issue. Thanks.

[makarai 108]

ok, updated to the latest and here is the log Thanks

[Luke 37095]

Did you forget to attach the log? Thanks.

Yes, my bad

In the mean time i also update the jail ffmpeg to 4.0... and mono to the latest that is available, which is still 5.2.0.215_1

 

Thanks mate!

Ok, I see what's happening here. Putting udp addresses inside an m3u is something that hasn't been tested before. We can look into this but for best results you may want to consider using http urls.

[Luke 37095]

And taking a look I think it's actually a quick fix, but please be advised that going forward the betas will now require mono 5.4+.

I get these udp links from my ISP i doubt i can use HTTP

 

Lets Hope someone ports the new mono versions for freebsd, seeing how fast the ports are being updated i doubt it will happen this year...

thanks for looking into it, much appreciated !

@@Luke , i have an instance running with the beta versions of emby running so i'll periodically check if it will work, however i am wondering if it is planned to allow udp links in the m3u playlist. For me it would be excellent as i will receive all my standard broadcasting this way. 

 

i tried XXXX_10_beta

and i think the error changed

[Luke 37095]

It's been added in the latest beta. But as I mentioned earlier, the latest beta now requires mono 5.4 and you only have 5.2, so I really can't predict what's going to happen. You can see my comments on the matter here:

Strangely though the server actually appears to be running ok, although there will be problems at some point.

 

However the error about ffmpeg with udp i cannot test so I'll need your help. This launch of ffmpeg is failing:

Maybe you can try this manually in a terminal and find out what the problem is. If the server generated an ffmpeg log, that might have some clues.

That error suggests that the udp url only supports a single application connected to it at a time and that it's already in use.

 

I have no ability to test this so that's as much as I can tell you right now.

That is weird, i tried the following, i disconnected every single computer on my network and played a channel, and i get this error. Then i turned on every single computer on my network and started the same channel using vlc and it works simultaneously on 2 pc 3 laptops and 2 tablets and a mobile phone Not sure why this error pops up

[Luke 37095]

This is just a guess but the problem could be in ffmpeg. it could be sending multiple connection attempts to the same udp address, even though it can't handle it.

 

I'm sure you can easily create the problem outside of Emby by running the ffmpeg command from a terminal. Based on that, if you were able to find some adjustments that could be made to accommodate the needs of your udp server, then we could incorporate them into the command line.

[makarai 108]

As it is tradition i doubt the error is in ffmpeg, i quickly installed ubuntu+emby+etc pp and the stream capturing via the console worked directly. (i didn't test the livetv option).

 

It seems to me, with my limited understanding, that when installing emby in an iocage on freebsd11.1 the multicast option is not available which then crashes the ffprobe part of ffmpeg. Of course with my limited knowledge of freebsd, jails and kernels, i doubt i can fix this. Thanks Luke for the pointers.

[makarai 108]

Just as it is even more tradition i got it to work. When creating a jail you have to use the cli and create it with 

iocage create -n "emby_foo" -r 11.1-RELEASE ip4_addr="vnet0|192.168.0.107/24" defaultrouter="192.168.0.1" vnet="on" allow_raw_sockets="1" boot="on"

Then ffmpeg can fetch the stream ! thx for the help

Thanks for the feedback.

[makarai 108]

Hi, i am really happy that the iptv that my ISP provides now runs on emby natively with the m3u8 tuner. When i check the stat for nerds tab however it reports video,audio, container not supported. i attached the transcoding logfile and the server logfile, maybe this is just the usual.

What Emby app are you playing in?

[makarai 108]

Browser chrome

[Luke 37095]

It's transcoding due to interlaced video although with the next release we'll just let it play in the browser, and see how the browser handles it. Thanks.
