Live Tv input from source

Are you or have you thought about adding support for adding live tv from mac address like STB stalker portals?

I could just do it the old fashion way I suppose even though I'm no fan of TVH or running stalker portal homemade proxy servers to get tv going on Emby just to get a full epg guide but I will, why not.

Some services that sell tv using mac addresses with your ip address they work so good it never glitches but they don't give you a username or a password they just ask you for your ip addy and mac address from your mag box. The thing is in order to add that service to emby which needs an m3u you need to be crafty to make it work and since some of the real good stuff has no m3u and you can't install vlc player on mag boxes because of it being a closed linux OS you need to jump through hoops. The hoop is using tivimate which I'm not a fan of however on android tv or firestick you can install vlc player and set tivimate to open using external player. So I add in the url and mac then after playing a channel I look in vlc player for last links played and grab the link. I tried with emby it works great loads instant but time consuming making a channel list takes hours and it's all manual and sucks but works.

I need to do like so

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1, A&E
http://link here to channel
#EXTINF:-1, AMC
http:// link here to channel

works but horrible takes hours and is why I like to see this added in emby to add tv with mac etc instead of needing mag boxes.

To get a full tv guide using emby is the only / best way to go, other methods will take days so yeah emby is #1 IMO
