Apollo TV M3U no longer supported by Apollo

[iiiJoe 62]

Used Apollo for years with no issue other than little to no guide data. This last weekend Fox Sports and Bally Sports channels began showing Accu Weather and CNN. Contacted Apollo several times and was told they now only support their app, on which the channels show correctly. The app is basically linear tv with no recording which is unusable for me personally. Any suggestions on the Emby side to possibly resolve this? I’ve looked at the Accu weather and CNN channels to see if the content was simply switched but that is not the case. They claim the M3U used for the app and Emby is the same. Version 4.9.3

Use a different IPTV provider or if you want to record, get a Formuler box. Providers are cheap, and it's relatively easy to switch. This is not an Emby problem and honestly Emby should not be used for watching IPTV.

Curious why you feel this way?

iPTV is often used for piracy and Emby does not and should not aid in piracy. 
I am not saying that all or even most iPTV services are illegal but some are and those services can make Emby the object of lawsuits and that Emby wants to avoid if at all possible. 

I use two iPTV sources myself and have verified they are legal but I also wanted to use some others that were not legal so I chose to not use them. 
It seems that the people that consume pirated content are hard and expensive to prosecute so lawsuits usually target the actual providers or platforms that make using pirated material possible. I am not saying it is right or wrong to target services like Emby but they do and Emby does not want to spend the money and time that is required to fight them so they strongly discourage any hint of supporting piracy.

This is not the place to debate what is/is not piracy but Emby rightly does not want their app to be targeted as a piracy app so they do not officially support anything that even remotely looks like piracy.
