Live TV unable to open m3u8 streams that throw a warning

[Nimasa 11]

Emby latest stable version is unable to play the following stream:

https://iran613hls.wns.live/hls/stream.m3u8

And throws this error:

However, Google Chrome can handle and play the stream fine, as shown in this screenshot:

Opening the stream in Pot Player, at first, shows a warning to proceed, as shown below:

and initially fails. But after double-clicking the address in playlist, it plays fine as shown below.

Hi, we'll take a look at it. Thanks.

[Nimasa 11]

any updates?

There are many more samples that I can provide for testing, e.g. this link:

I guess having an option for such cases to suppress/bypass the warning while setting up live channels in Emby could be helpful. Something like a checkbox that the user can choose to either bypass these errors, or not.

it's a security warning regarding domain certificate. Is it possible to have an option to suppress such security warnings?

@Nimasacan you please attach the screenshot to this forum posting? That's not a domain I'm familiar with. Thanks.

So the security warning is just in PotPlayer ?

Also in Chrome, but after proceeding and approving the warning, both Chrome and PotPlayer play the video. This is not the case with emby. Emby fails to open the URL without even asking the user. It just throws an error. Having an option in the server side to bypass (approve) such warnings would be helpful.

By Emby you mean in the web app?

Both the web app and Adroid app. Tested just know again on:

Windows 11 - Chrome browser v148.0.7778.217

Android 16 - Chrome browser v148.0.7778.180

Android 16 - Emby app v3.5.36

with this URL:

https://simahls.wns.live/hls/stream.m3u8

And all of them fail.

Emby Server: 4.9.5.0
