Hi

 

I have an IPTV provider who also provides lots of VOD content. But it is deliveres in an m3u8 file. Great for VLC or other players, but getting the videos into Emby I cant figure out.

 

Well i were thinking of extracting each streaming url from the m3u8 file and saving it to a .strm file whith name from m3u8 tag into directory whith same name. 

That would get emb to show the movie.

 

but that is a lot of work to do manualy.

 

So I were thinking maybe someone had an better idea or had a script that could do the work....

 

Example m3u8 file

#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="" tvg-name="A Clockwork Orange (1971) [Multi-Subs]" tvg-logo="http://clientportal.link:8080/images/0066921.jpg"group-title="VOD: IMDB$
http://clientportal.link:8080/movie/XXXXXXX/XXXXXXX/17944.mkv
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="" tvg-name="A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) [Multi-Subs]" tvg-logo="http://clientportal.link:8080/images/0044081.jpg"group-title="VOD$
http://clientportal.link:8080/movie/XXXXXXX/XXXXXXX/17945.mkv
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="" tvg-name="12 Angry Men (1957) [Multi-Subs]" tvg-logo="http://clientportal.link:8080/images/0050083.jpg"group-title="VOD: IMDB Top 2$
http://clientportal.link:8080/movie/XXXXXXX/XXXXXXX/17946.mkv
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="" tvg-name="Bonnie And Clyde (1967) [Multi-Subs]" tvg-logo="http://clientportal.link:8080/images/0061418.jpg"group-title="VOD: IMDB T$
http://clientportal.link:8080/movie/XXXXXXX/XXXXXXX/17947.mkv

 

example .strmfile

/A Clockwork Orange (1971) [Multi-Subs]/A Clockwork Orange (1971) [Multi-Subs].strm

strm is one approach, another is the iptv plugin. i'd probably go with strm right now since you can probably write a script to convert the m3u8 to strm.

As long you are a single user that uses Emby, you can go for the strm route. But if you have a multi user Emby household, there is no way you can control the number of simultaneous connections to your IPTV provider by using strm files, which could result in a blocked IPTV account if more users are accessing your strm based movies simultaneously, than your subscription allows.

Yah I did try IPTV, but didnt find it uasable for this purpurse, as you have to add each video one by one. And whit lots of VOD streams it seems not to be the way.

Ohh that I didnt think of that....But I got enough connections so I dont think Ill get that problem. but good point.

My problem is that I cant make a script that do what I need...I can read code and change and maybe add some, but I am not a programmer.

 

So if someone just had som little input - a example of reading the file line b line, grabbing test from last comma and writing a file, I think I could do it. Just need something to start whith.

Ok. Strm is probably your best option if it could be automated.

A dedicated tool for exporting VOD content from m3u to strm files, is just out of beta and into translation right now and will be released to international public soon. With this tool I transferred my complete IPTV VOD library into an Emby library, where the tool also cleans up movie names, so scraper gets correct name for scraping data.

 

More info about this tool, when the translation is done !

Saw this thread as this is something I want to do. Has the tool been published or is it still under development?

Due to other important projects of the developer of this tool, the translation of it got delayed.

Expect more news to come within a couple of weeks, because I just got a message from him, that translation is on his ToDo list for the coming weeks.

 

So when that is done, international users can finally export their iptv VOD to strm (from m3u), so those strm files can be added to an Emby library, so you can stream iptv VOD directly from Emby.

I am working on a test version right now ;) thought it might come in handy to register here myself too - to provide more information if anyone has questions, and also if anyone is interested in the tool after testing. The test version will have a 5 strm export limit, and downloading is preserved for registered users (who bought a license). I will create a strm tool which supports local m3u file loading, so vader streams can be used - but that tool will be availible when i finished a stable and testable version of this tool.

 

I will try to get a testversion online this week - people who are interested in buying a license can contact me.
