Error Saving TV Provider

[gswim 2]

I just had an update message and now after update my XMLTV no longer works.  This happened before and ya'll fixed it. Was there changes to the TV m3u ?  I get the below error now,  has been working for 5 months

There was an error saving the TV provider. Please ensure it is accessible and try again.

Your m3u url is bad. 404 not found. I verified it myself in a browser.

[gswim 2]

I also got a 404 error when I tried in the browser.  It works on other IPTV players and has been working on Emby for 6 months.  I have not changed my EMBY settings

last time this happened you said it contained a redirect and you did something to fix it.  Maybe the case again ?  seems strange that it only stopped working after i got a message about an update and I needed to restart the server 

"The response from your xml provider contains a redirect, and we're currently not following the redirect."

[Luke 42079]

I don't think that's the issue here. If you're positive the url is valid, then they might be blocking based on any number of factors such as user agent or the referrer http header, so you can try changing those up a bit to make Emby appear like something else.

[gswim 2]

I am positive as I’m watching it on Tivimate right now. Changing agent or header That beyond my capabilities  

[gswim 2]

I do notice that when I put my URL information into the browser, it changes from what I enter, then gives me the 404

[gswim 2]

My provider switched to Xstreams which of course does not work with Emby.  I asked them what my URL would now be and they gave be the below information,.

 

The EPG put into the browser gives me the correct return, the Playlist gives me a 404 error.   When I put the playlist into Emby it gives me an Error.  I assume because it's a XYZ not a .COM etc... 

any advice on how to overcome this ?

Hi. You will have to convert it to an m3u or use a different source.  We have no plans to supports XS.

Is the  playlist listed here  not a M3U ?

Remote Playlist – http://ourlivetv.xyz:826/get.php?username=xxxx&password=yyyy&type=m3u_plus&output=ts

I don't know since I cannot see it but that url itself is not an M3U so, if what it points to is, you'd need to download that and put that in the tuner setup.

[Luke 42079]

Does that url output something that looks similar to the examples here?

http://xmtvplayer.com/build-m3u-file

[gswim 2]

No it give me an 404 error,   The EPG works gives me a bunch of channels.     I give up

 

[Luke 42079]

Right you'll need to get your m3u url working first obviously.

It just confuses me even more.  My provider game me a url and said use my user name and password

the url is       ourlivetv.xyz:826   that however takes me to https://www.cancer.org/involved/donate.html

somehow when I put it into Tivimate it seems to work.  I was just trying to set it up in Emby for a convivence when I'm on travel

If you want to send me a PM with your actual account info I'd be happy to take a look at this for you to see if it can be made to work in Emby.  Often times it can.
Your provider should allow you to change your password so you can change it after I take a look for you.

This issue can be closed.   A big thank you to Carlo for his time, effort and dedication to helping me get this resolved. 

Is there a place where I can make a donation to the EMBY Effort ? I looked real quick in the site support.  

 

[Luke 42079]

Thanks for the feedback.

Hi.  You can purchase any one of our subscriptions.  We cannot take actual donations.  Thanks.

[Carlo 4561]

As I think I already mentioned to you, no donations needed as we help you, because we want to.

gswim already has Emby Premiere in order to run Live TV so he likely doesn't need other subscriptions or purchases.

Instead, tell your friends about Emby and show them how cool it is.
