IPTV m3u with MPEG DASH (.mpd) files

[jmacul2 0]

This appears not to work with the built in emby ffmpeg (/opt/emby-server/bin/ffmpeg) because libxml2 is not enabled (--enable-libxml2).

 

I have access to a local Dash streaming server that is serving up h246 channels.  It points to a m3u playlist but emby cant play this format.  I know ffmpeg 4.2+ will transcode or remux mpeg dash as long as libxml2 is enabled.

Hi there, thanks for reporting. I can add this to our internal backlog to add this into our ffmpeg build.

[tigrao 18]

Any chance of getting --enable-libxml2 included in the Emby ffmpeg build?  I would also really like to use MPEG dash mpd files.

[Luke 37095]

Hi, yes it's possible for future updates. Thanks.

[jathe 9]

They have more than 3 years trying to add headers to strm files.... i cant imagine how long will take add dash support to libraries 

[Nostradamus1973 18]

Good morning everyone,

I just came across this thread and saw this from July, does 4.8.0.80 support *.mpd files?

Thank you and have a  nice day.

Hi, if you mean mpd files in the library file system, no.

Como puedo meter un MPD que tenga llaves o como seria la URL para que reconozca ya que me sale como formato no compatible.

Example: https://example.com/index.mpd?key=jksadsjakda:sakhduisad 

 

Oh como seria en esta ocasión.

Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!
