Question about Live TV .M3U URLs

[dberg 6]

I'd like to provide access to Live TV for a couple users in Emby and I curious how traffic will be routed for this service.

Currently, my Live TV channels are fed into Emby through a M3U file that I manage.

#EXTINF:-1 tvh-chnum="400" group-title="Sports",ESPN
http://example-channel.com/

If users outside my network attempt to watch a channel through their Emby app, are they viewing the channel from the URL in the .M3U, or will traffic be fed from my Emby instance?

Hi, it will run through your Emby Server.

If you go into your tvh and look at status, subscriptions you will see your emby is connecting to your tvh server making emby the middle man which is great. If you are using someone elses tvh they will see your emby with your ip watching the channel.
