Did you configure it as TV?

No, I used the first option,

And then you are asking us why you don't get them handled and presented like TV series?

In another plugin i tried (prior to this being released), I didn't have to specify the content. It worked out whether it was a movie or a TV series, so I figured it worked something similar

I am running into similar issues with source naming, the "EN - ", is what is causing it.  Otherwise, it does map most of the series correctly as a TV series.  I had to manually edit my M3U to remove "EN - " though ahead of time since IPTV Boss renames for TV series doesn't output the renamed name it only does for Movies.

Hi,  I am a new user trying the plugin for series and getting a strange result.  The names of all the series start with a c:\x:\Series

This is the entry from the M3U file

This is how it looks in emby.  Any help greatly appreciated

Im having the same issue. I am using latest dll, and scanning is complete, but 99% of my content is like this

Acknowledged. We need to add a way to remove those prefixes.

Do you see the "Quick Add Source" button like in my screenshot in that earlier post?

Yes. How is that different to add stream source?

Don't use it. I just asked as a means to confirm that you really have the dll version.

@softworkz

I hat to remove the webstreams plugin because it was very unstable and today I couldn't start anymore. So i removed it and it works perfectly again.

I'd need a full server log where startup is hanging.

@softworkzIs there a way to schedule a refresh on an interval?

It's the "Refresh Internet Channels" scheduled task inside Emby.

I had that set already but the last refresh on the channels didn't show the time change that it did it on the interval specified.  I had it set to do it once a day at 1230am and it shows last refreshed yesterday at 6pm which is when I last manually refreshed it.

I have a similar issue. My Internet channels are set for midnight. The plugin says last refresh was at 6 yesterday morning. I have just done a restart of Emby and now it is refreshing

@softworkzIs there anyway to add *trea* code to it? Instead of using m3u?

No. Please see here: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/142334-new-webstreams-plugin/page/3/#findComment-1469377

First, thanks for creating this app!  I have been creating .strm files and this plug-in will replace all that effort.

Unfortunately,  for one of my providers, linking the m3u URL results an in error: Unsupported Playlist: Unknown playlist type

It works fine if download the m3u and keep it local but would require manually updating as new content is released.  

Is there a setting or something I am missing? My other provider accepts the URL link just fine.  Regardless, even I have to do manual updates this plug-in will save me lots of time.

The format of the m3u that doesnt work online linking directly to URL (but works fine locally):

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:0 group-title="Movie VOD",xxx 2025 [1080p] [WEBRip] [WEB] 
#EXTGRP:Movie VOD
https://x.com/movie/x/x/900041314
#EXTINF:0 group-title="Movie VOD",xxx 2025 [1080p] [WEBRip] [WEB] 
#EXTGRP:Movie VOD
https://x.com/movie/x/x/900041313

 

 

 

[softworkz 5066]

@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?

[Chillout 110]

@softworkz

I'm not sure if this is what you are after but i can IM you the m3u URL if it will be helpful.

Dumb question alert. Once a new stream is loaded... um.. what do I do next?

[emielkokkelink 0]

Getting this error… any idea’s?

[fabien_m2002 5]

Hello

i have a timeout error when downloading my m3u url (big file: 200Mb):

"The request was canceled due to the configured HttpClient.Timeout of 10 seconds elapsing."

How to extend timeout?

Thanks
