How do I get a live hls stream from api in latest version of emby?

July 20, 2024

I have an api key and a channel id, but I can't seem to get a valid stream or m3u8 file.

The .ts files don't pass api key so I upgraded and now nothing works.

WHat's the easiest way to get a valid m3u8 stream via curl?

July 20, 2024

which parameters are required?

Can someone get this code to work for me? I am not sure which api calls I need to make:

I'm not getting any media sources back from response when clicking a Channel in the filter.

I have an api key and a channel id. How can I get a working m3u8 stream url for VLC?

July 20, 2024

From what I gather I need to create a playback request of some sort, but I'm having trouble figuring out what api call to make so I get back valid master.m3u8 stream urls.

July 22, 2024

```

curl 'https://emby.example.com/videos/3549/live.m3u8?DeviceId=1ec39e95-dc46-43bd-ac00-0988ec46967f&MediaSourceId=c5e1795b695cc690c6140a2010433d2d&PlaySessionId=5e8637ad8f73444cb3cf393a97e731b7&api_key=xxxx&LiveStreamId=06044cf0e6f93cdae5f285c9ecfaaeb4_01413a525b3a9622ce6fdf19f7dde354_c5e1795b695cc690c6140a2010433d2d&VideoCodec=h264&AudioCodec=aac&VideoBitrate=199808000&AudioBitrate=192000&MaxWidth=640&MaxHeight=360&AudioStreamIndex=1&TranscodingMaxAudioChannels=2&SegmentContainer=ts&MinSegments=1&BreakOnNonKeyFrames=True&SubtitleStreamIndexes=-1&ManifestSubtitles=vtt?api_key=xxx' -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:128.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/128.0'

```

In the firefox browser I get an NS_BINDING_ABORTED error on most streams....In chrome I get a `(cancelled)` error.

Any idea why this is happening?
