Hi. I think you likely want to use the Live TV M3U tuner feature rather than the IPTV plug-in.

How to add and configure an M3U Tuner

This is caused by either using your own xmltv source that has errors or lots of bad non working channels or an m3u that has stopped working, example if you have more than 1 m3u in emby and more than 1 epg source if one is flaking out this will happen, not able to see channels inside admin panel. Delete the bad m3u or bad xmltv source and then refresh your guide.

It could be a problem with your TV Guide.  Check to make sure your lineup is not blank.  If it is, you'll have to re-select the guide it was mapped to.  If the provider changed something it can cause all your channels to disappear in Emby (but they will come back once the tv guide is working).

thanks it definitely helped, have you ever had trouble mapping certain channels , im trying to map from to z now and am stuck on amc on demand and amc plus

The only trouble I have is actually finding the right channel in the guide.  I found websites that list all the channels for each CATV company to make the search easier.

Some of those weird networks like WWE, Redbull, or Peacock i'm stuck with the IPTV EPG guide.

i just looked in my iptv folder i got an error code #522 at 2/13/2024 0230 am , i think that has to be when the problem happened

[JohnSpartan3M 10]

apollogroup.m3u this file was the only new file in my iptv folder

Edited February 14, 2024 by JohnSpartan3M

[JohnSpartan3M 10]

i think what ever the problem is my m3u file has to be the problem , but i do not know the site where i chose my playlist, Carlo helped me with that , i hope he is alright

[JohnSpartan3M 10]

i downloaded my playlist from m3u4u, i just changed the url download name to my c drives folder name and then when i refreshed it came back, i will see if this holds tonight but its definitely something to do with error code 522 , send your thoughts guys 

[Luke 42077]

Hi, where do you see a 522 error code?

i attached this earlier , i got an error 522 code here which was inside of my iptv folder on my c drive, it synced just fine this morning though, so i have no idea why i got the error 522 code all of a sudden.

[JohnSpartan3M 10]

apparently error code 522 was the problem, i read about at length , something about the servers were crowded so i had no connection for about 30 minutes because of the traffic, this never happened before and my m3u updates at 2am
