New WebStreams Plugin

[gillmacca01 226]

Still getting same error when using a link from an iptv provider. This same link works fine in Emby's Live TV

I tested this out. Unfortunately, the update deleted all my streams. They're still visible in the frontend, but there are no longer any streams in the backend. Now I have to restore the VM backup and copy the links from there.

Has anyone else noticed this behavior? (Emby Version 4.9.5.0)

Mine worked fine after the update.  The streams are all working, but I am on beta version

I've now restored the backup and copied my stream links.

I was able to reproduce the problem every time. After the update of the plugin, and after restart of the emby-server-service, the entire configuration in the backend was deleted. Unfortunately, the plugin's log only contains these 3 lines:

2026-06-17 22:55:27.997 Info App: Loading Emby.WebStreams.Plugin, Version=4.9.1.39, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null from /var/lib/emby/plugins/Emby.WebStreams.Plugin.dll

Anyway, as soon as I add the first link again, the entire configuration in the front end is deleted- or rather, it’s repopulated. I’ll test this functionality in the field tomorrow  .

Refresh bug?

Refreshing Stream Source will cause all the streams to be refreshed compared to only the new content.

still missing an automated way to update the streams via planned tasks in Emby.

That behavior 

 is still the same.

@Chillout - it could be a mime-type issue.

When you load the m3u in a browser while having dev tools open (F12 = > network tab) - what's the content-type response header?

This has been fixed in latest update. Thanks

It's the "Refresh Internet Channels" task
