There was an error saving the TV provider.

[Traveling 0]

Hi, I was evaluating live tv sources. I have always used a m3u url for years.. I was trying out a new service and had to use xtream api... Everything was working fine. The test didnt improve the performance issue. I believe the buffering and other hicups are from my inet service. Moving to fiber soon. But when I added the xtream live tv device, I deleted the m3u device. (i have been able to delete and add back with no issues) but now when I try to add back my m3u, I get an error. "There was an error saving the TV provider." I am confused by this. can anyone help me resolve it? I want to just add back my existing m3u url live tv device. I have always used Emby in a windows environment, but now running via Unraid through a vpn tunnel. Everything is started and testing fine. I just cant add the m3u url. This url does work in VLC on my windows computer. I have the log file, but need to know what to remove so not to reveal personal info.

here is the log file. I see errors posting and maybe related to my vpn container. I am new to docker and linux... so please feel free to help me correct it if applicable... I need emby to run behind a vpnembyserver.txt

The url you're trying to access sent back a 403 forbidden error:
