erikastevens30 2 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Good Day...I hope this is the right forum to post this, if not please move it to where it belongs. My question is regarding the IPTV plugin. Is the plugin designed to work with an IPTV service provider? I have a service provider that I have a subscription with and it works just fine through a standalone NPVR program. I installed the plugin with no problem and entered the credentials I normally use in both areas, "URL" and "Image URL" not knowing which was the proper one to use. Unfortunately, I could not connect. I know the creds are correct and working because when I go to the provider website and enter same, it all works. Any ideas? Thanks in advance and cheers!

Luke 37128 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Hi, not really. It is designed to import single individual videos. You probably instead want to use the Live TV M3u tuner source feature to import your content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikastevens30 2 Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 (edited) Thanks Luke So I tried out the M3U tuner as the tuner type and entered the following...http://api.vaders.tv/vget?username=$$$&password=$$$$$$.When I saved it I received an alert stating that there was an error and to ensure it is accessible. It is accessible as I tried it out with VLC and I also use it constantly through a standalone NPVR. Any help? Now I tried using the following...http://vaders.tv/p2.xml and it worked as far as getting me past the Alert error but all I get is a pseudo TV Guide that is not populated. Besides, the xml file is just the EPG and doesn't have my credentials to get me my data.I also entered the xml file under TV Guide data providers and still a no go.

Luke 37128 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 With the m3u tuner you'll need to use the first url. The xml tv is the guide data that comes after that. Please try again and if the issue remains, please attach the emby server log. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikastevens30 2 Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 Good day...Here is what I get when I click on "save". I have also attached the log. Thanks for your help. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. Cheers!! Log.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37128 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 That error makes it look like your server is unable to reach your iptv provider. What happens if you put your iptv url into the browser? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikastevens30 2 Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 Good Day...well just entering in either Firefox, Chrome or IE web browsers gets me no connection. However, using the URL in VLC, Kodi or NPVR gets me to my iptv provider and works just fine which is why I am at a loss for why it is not working through emby.

erikastevens30 2 Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 Good Day everyone...Hey Luke thanks for the assistance and I have good news! I was able to get the Live TV set up and its working fine now. The only change I made was in the URL. The current URL that made it all work leaves off the ...api at the beginning. I replace it with the following http://vaders.tv/vget?username=$$$$&password=$$$$.Don't know why that would not work ( the api version that is) in Emby and still work in my other apps but I thought you would appreciate my finding. I got the idea of the URL when I found a thread about "dumb tuner" and post #6 alluded to a URL with which when launched, I did get my m3u8 file. Oh and I did try the user agent you suggested but I still received the same as in post #5. Thanks for the help. Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddurdle 75 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Vaders had an issue with their EPG earlier this month and has been making changes, so it has been on/off. They are finished with their EPG changes and proclaim it fully working now. But it doesn't work in Emby. Emby scans over the file and finds nothing of value in it and doesn't match it up with the m3u8. I have no idea what is wrong with their EPG data that makes it not match. Clearly there is some discrepancy. Putting it out there if people are wondering why their Vaders no longer matches against the p2.xml via Emby.

Luke 37128 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I tested a vader url today and saw no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddurdle 75 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I tested a vader url today and saw no problems. Looks from this discussion it is a change in Vaders handled already only by the beta version: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/66674-unable-to-update-epg/?hl=epg I'll have to test Vaders on Emby 3.6 to confirm. It seems that Vaders introduced é and á in their new EPG,which I can confirm I'm encountering the same issue as the original poster in that thread on 3.5.3.

ddurdle 75 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Looks like Vaders has corrected the issue on their end. The p2.xml file is now coming with the UTF-8 encoding instead of these é á etc now. So anyone using Vaders on Emby 3.5.3, the p2.xml EPG should now work as-is without needing to filter these out.

EODCrafter 180 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) Vader's Guide has been down for 3 days now if anyone curious...Just use Luke's New Guide. Vader's Stand is that Emby and all others should adapt to their Guide format and therefore won't fix it.

robesau 1 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Vader's Guide has been down for 3 days now if anyone curious...Just use Luke's New Guide. its weird the p2.xml has the right data in it but Emby wount pick it up. do you have a link for lukes guide sorry not sure what or where that is.
