The update is run as part of the "Refresh Internet Channels" scheduled task in Emby. You can trigger it manually and you can configure when it should run.

here is a second big problem. I can not add to my favorite list which is on the home screen on top. You can click add to favorite but it doesn't appear.
Probably we have there a further problem. Because if we refresh the list every day we need a option to update only the URL's which are changed because if you create the entrys new the favorite list will be lost i think.

That's abou item identity. We still need to look into that one. That's also related to what others have reported about resume positions getting lost.

How do I add multiple streams if a radio has more than 1 stream like technobase.fm or 181.fm?

https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2399485

Every stream has often it's own logo and own name of course.

Have you tried "Add  value"? (I'm not sure whether it gets imported, thogh, you'll have to try and see)

It works but i have alread 2 important things which i don't find.

I have added: https://streamfeeds.github.io/web/rss/wikidata-radios.rss but I can not automate that this feed will be imported every day at 02:00 AM. Is this possible?

 

HI, you can adjust the schedule of the refresh internet channels scheduled task.

@softworkz

I have added a title for each stream now technobase is not in the RSS Stream anymore. Now I make a try without a title. But I don't think this will work. I can not add 2 times: Streaming-Media-URL. If this doesn't work I will add each URL as an own object and try to make reference.

Ok i will try to run the scheduled tasks.

Ohlalaa.... i'm a lucky men, emby is back online.

I clicked on the webstreams plugin the icon was already disappeared. My server was running for days or weeks without no problem. I wanted to check the list before i run the scheduled task. I clicked on it 2 times i think and the emby crashed.

I found out that i had a problem with: system.xml 

This is the reason why the installation wizard was comming after the reboot i made from emby.

<IsStartupWizardCompleted>false</IsStartupWizardCompleted>

solution:

sed -i 's|<IsStartupWizardCompleted>false</IsStartupWizardCompleted>|<IsStartupWizardCompleted>true</IsStartupWizardCompleted>|' system.xml

Maybe this helps someone or to find this problem.

@softworkz

I have done a lot of tests, yesterday I began with adding my radio station into wikidata. I have added several stations but not all are appearing in the RSS feed.

For example: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15841547

The link (https://stream.streambase.ch/rm/mp3-192/direct/) is working but it is not a .mp3 stream or a .m3u. I don't find any difference between other station which are in the RSS feed. Who is the creator of streamfeeds: https://streamfeeds.github.io/web/sources/wikidata-radios.html because there is only repo and no other infos.

EDIT:

I found also a new problem, for example: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2399485 is in the RSS feed but not in emby. Is this also because of the streaming url?

Edited October 17 by hispeed
New Problem found

[gillmacca01 232]

Just received the latest update.

No more timeout importing a very large m3u file via online link

Thanks

What else is new in this version?

It only updated translations for the UI.

Look like it worked first time, but the timed out again.

Was hoping this was the update that was supposed to fix this.

Guess I still can't use it

[gillmacca01 232]

@softworkz– following up on your post from July 6 about the update that makes the hardcoded 30s connection timeout configurable.

 

I'm still hitting this on the current release:

"The request was canceled due to the configured HttpClient.Timeout of 30 seconds elapsing."

 

Setup:

- Emby Server 4.11.0.11 beta on QNAP

- WebStreams plugin 4.9.1.90

- Xtream-style M3U (get.php … type=m3u_plus), large VOD list

 

The same URL loads fine in Live TV, so it's purely the provider taking longer than 30s to start sending the list.

 

Is there an ETA for that update, or a test build I could try in the meantime? Happy to test and report back.

 

Thanks for all the work on the plugin.

Edited October 27 by gillmacca01

[gillmacca01 232]

@softworkz – a question about structuring WebStreams, in case there's a way I've missed.

 

What I'd like inside Web Streams:

 

Web Streams

├─ Movies

├─ TV Shows

├─ Netflix → Movies + TV Shows (with metadata)

├─ Disney+ → Movies + TV Shows (with metadata)

├─ Amazon → Movies + TV Shows (with metadata)

└─ …

 

My setup: a nightly script on my NAS pre-processes the provider M3U into separate files. The service files have group-title = service name (e.g. "Netflix"), and for TV, tvg-name = show name (mapped to Series Name via Customise Field Mapping). Movies use "Movies (retrieve Metadata)" and TV uses "TV Episodes (retrieve Metadata)" – both work really well.

 

What I can't find a way to do:

1. Group TV Episodes (retrieve Metadata) by a field – the grouping option disappears for that content type, so I can't get service folders for TV.

2. Have one source contain both movies and TV with metadata.

3. Nest sources inside a parent folder (e.g. a "Netflix" folder holding a Netflix Movies source and a Netflix TV source).

 

The closest I can get is paired sources side by side ("Netflix – Movies", "Netflix – TV", …), which works but gives 13+ top-level folders.

 

Is there a way to achieve the layout above that I've missed – a setting, a newer build, or a different approach? If not, would a "parent folder" option for sources, or grouping for TV Episodes, be something you'd consider?
