podonnell 47 Posted December 17, 2025 Posted December 17, 2025 Wondering if this is possible. Could we target YouTube video URLs and have them streamed through a channel? Via plugins? Trying to accomplish this without having to download and store the youtube video itself. Thanks for any ideas.
Luke 42077 Posted December 18, 2025 Posted December 18, 2025 Haven’t tried it but it might actually work now in Emby apps that can play YouTube content. But in the ones that can’t it will lead to playback errors.

But in the ones that can’t it will lead to playback errors. Was able to throw together a script that uses FFmpeg on a youtube playlist URL when someone visits the TV channel. Used the M3U TV source to tune to that URL. It's just pulling a random video from a given playlist URL right now. Not sure if there's another way to do this, but it hits most of what I was looking for. 1
