Setting up m3u Live TV - missing "Origin" header input

[Menelmar 1]

Hi folks

I have been using Emby (Premiere) with my media for quite some time, but recently I've discovered Live TV feature

Trying to test it with DaddyTV playlist made by dtanktempse, filling in m3u and guide URLs, and filling Referer and User-Agent fields with strings provided in manual. Channel structure and tv guides load perfectly fine. But none of channels are working - "Forbidden" error shows up after click.

I couldn't find where to put "Origin" field, and manual says that omitting it will cause 403 error when loading content.

So what am I doing wrong, and could this m3u even be loaded and work properly on emby?

Luke, thanks for reply. I've already found a solution - using m3u-playlist-proxy makes channels work perfectly. But I'm still figuring out problem with xml guide timings - seems like channel time zones are not corrected relatevely to the my time zone. I don't know, is this my embyserver-side issue, or there's smth wrong with xml source

Hi, have you checked the date and times in the xml data?

You won't need to set Referer or User-Agent fields in Emby because you missed a step or two in the dtanktempse setup.
You need to setup:
M3U Playlist Proxy Easiest and simplest to get working
Threadfin some people have trouble getting this to work
Cabernet has a lot of features and plugins

Emby will be setup to use the URL of the proxy which will vary depending on which one you use.
