Guest Normal Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I would like to watch TV with Emby. But how to get it working? I have a m3u file with several m3u8 urls inside. Many of them also work fine in VLC media player. But how to get that working in Emby? My m3u8 list content is here on pastebin: https://pastebin.com/r5AuzAuS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Normal Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) Unfortunately this page I've already seen 10 times the last day and doesn't help me at all. I will check something else. Give me 5 minutes please. Edit Wwhen clicking on the play button for a channel it's just spinning 5 minutes and nothing happens. Adding that link above in VLC media player nearly instantly starts the stream. Edited September 20, 2018 by Normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might have bandwidth limiting on, or the hardware tries to transcode - but it is not powerful enough to do it in reasonable time. I would try as soon as you hit the play button to change the settings button to 360p and let's see how this behaves. Also check the use of CPU, as if it transcodes, the CPU use will be high.

Guest Normal Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) No limitations are on. Hardware is powerful enough. VLC on the same PC works fine. This is 100% a Emby problem. I can play 1080p movies with 15 mbit bitrate without any problem. Edited September 30, 2018 by Normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Normal Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Sorry to say that but other people already provided you the information you are (this is what they are saying) asking about since a year now. I am just not using Live TV anymore. I am using VLC now which is working perfectly. The problem has been resolved for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37191 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 One person PM'd recently provided a sample stream and I was able to resolve a problem for his stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4331 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 You can't have embedded m3u8 streams in your m3u(8) file you use with Emby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Normal Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) Inside a m3u file you can have embedded m3u8 links. m3u is just the container. m3u is a normal file format and nothing special. Edited October 2, 2018 by Normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4331 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Create an m3u8 file with just one entry and test this in Emby and it won't work. Now resolve that link to get the contents and use that to create a new M3u8 file and test this in Emby. 1st won't work. 2nd will work. Emby doesn't support nested m3u8 files.

Guest Normal Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I can load that m3u8 file in emby and after waiting 5 minutes it's working. So you are wrong. it just takes for-ever to load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the speed to change a channel when you don't use the embedded m3u8 file is? (do what I mentioned previously) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Normal Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 As I said I now use something what is working correctly as many other people said here too: VLC. I don't mind about Embys Live TV anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
