Cool plugin, works great with my setup. Could we have it allow more than one folder instead of having all media in one folder be able to have many so we can add more Networks folders.

Hi. I'm using the latest version of this plugin and when I try and import my m3u playlist I get this error message: Error code: Out of Memory

A hard drive crash wiped out my server. I think I figured out my I ran out of memory. The playlist I tried to import had over 1000000 entries plus Live TV entries. I watched the memory on the memory reach 100% utilized. I will try this again with a smaller playlist. Here are the logs of my attempt

Damn bro you on one, I'm not reading through all this post but if you give me a break down I will help you out if I can.

When I reduce the import size to 500000 I get this error and all the RAM on the server is used up. I'll have to wait until I can get a RAM upgrade before I can import the whole playlist. It might be a while with these outrageous RAM prices.

Yeah if you have a playlist that has a massive load of content you probably are stressing out the plugin as well as your computer and Emby server more than likely also is locking up especially if you don't have much ram. It's like opening a massive m3u with VLC player takes 5 minutes to open on low ram, try adding a section of your playlist and see what happens.

You can also use .strm files and load them into emby it works good and you can load as big a list as you want, 150K movies will load into emby fine lol. You can set it up to refresh your server for every 5 hours or whatever you want it will scan your .strm server that you can host on your pc the same one emby server is on when new content is added it will auto load a .strm to emby. Just make an apache server and set emby to use it as a folder and it will auto update just like if you added a movie.

I love this plugin, I tested it on torr server matrix, nzbdav, local m3u made from a shared folder, external shared folder apache server. Just a bunch a stuff and it worked on everything I threw at it so yeah it's a great plug I love it and use it myself.

If you decide to go the nzbDav way you need to have maybe 2 indexers, my setup I use a few more than that but you can use this plugin with it and it works great.

The best way for dealing with large playlists in the WebStreams plugin is to add the same M3U multiple times, each with a different set of filters.
