I don't quite get it. When they are identical, how can you "have 2"? Do they have different stream URLs?

 

 

What i meant was they have identical content. Only difference is the username and password

You could set it up twice - like "MyStreams - User1" and "MyStreams - User2" 

Then you might be able to do the same parental rating restriction thing.

For each stream source, you can choose a parental rating, but there will be a change to it in the next update of the plugin.

 

Not actually a parental rating, parental control like this:

When editing that m3u

https://streamfeeds.github.io/web/m3u/de-deu-kika_zdftivi-tvshows-local-mv.m3u8

with a filter:

group-id does not contain "Filme" 
I am getting an nginx error and can't save the filter:

413 Request Entity Too large

I already set it up to

client_max_body_size 20M

in nginx location block.

default is 1M

In which nginx block? Which nginx server?

I am basically using the nginx template from @pir8radioposted here which is being used by most.

So will set it higher and see when it works.

Another plugin bug.

It discards all episodes where it cannot immediately determine the season and episode number.

wondering what kind of request is bigger than 20M if it is no photo/video?

The data gets blown up for display in the data grid (where you do the filtering) as it's in a different format (json) than in the M3U. 

When you save the filter, the whole grid data is transferred back to the server (because in other cases, grid data can be editable)

Feature Request

Allow Multiple m3u links within one stream source,

e.g  if your provider has multiple lists for TV With each list limited to 5000 entries.

[bruor 43]

Does this plugin support credential substitution for a use case where you have multiple accounts with a single provider and need to load balance your streams across them?

Yes please,  my provider has something like 26 Series m3us, and a separate one for movies.

TVnext supports this (=will support it). You can specify how many parallel streams are allowed and it will strictly honor that - but not this plugin. It "only" provides streams and data and feeds that into Emby, but it has no control over playback, which is still handled by Emby Server.

Hello,
Thanks for the update. I was able to add more links easily, everything works fine.
However, when I start a video, no matter the channel, after a few minutes I encounter a transcoding issue.

Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!

Is this something that could become a TVE similiar to channels dvr? That's how I integrate my live tv with emby but would prefer to pay for that option from emby.

This sounds easy to achieve but practically it's not: Different feeds can have different formats, different availability (what if one url stops working) and different URLs with different redaction requirements, etc.
You need to consider the following:

The plugin is done in a way that each source is working on a single URL. A change to that is not realistic and doesn't make much sense.

What we might be able to do instead is providing a way that certain WebStreams sources can be combined into a single view/hierarchy at the side of Emby server.

I'm not sure how @Lukewould think about it?

Please don't use this for Live TV!

While the best option is yet to come (TVnext) - this one is the worst. Please stick to the current M3U tuner for the moment - using this plugin for live tv is inferior to that.

[all4dom 101]

@softworkzi use channels dvr but would an all emby option & would pay extra for that. Maybe make it a plug in. Good luck with your Webstream plug in.

TV Everywhere integration is under consideration, but at the moment, I can't say when and in which form.

Thanks.

For radio it's a bit hit and miss.

I have a mixture of streams. All of them play when streaming to my wiim devices. 

None of them will play in the webapp, Firefox or Chrome either on my Android phone or Ubuntu laptop

The BBC HLS streams won't play in the Android Emby app while the others will.

 

The format of my playlist looks like this

#EXTINF:-1 name="BBC Radio 3" group-title="BBC" tvg-name="https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/schedules/bbc_radio_three" tvg-logo="https://sounds.files.bbci.co.uk/3.8.0/networks/bbc_radio_three/colour_450.png",BBC Radio 3
http://lsn.lv/bbcradio.m3u8?station=bbc_radio_three&bitrate=320000&uk=1

All the HLS streams work as strm files
