How to get IPTV working?

[Guest Normal]

I would like to watch TV with Emby. But how to get it working?

 

I have a m3u file with several m3u8 urls inside. Many of them also work fine in VLC media player.

But how to get that working in Emby?

 

 

My m3u8 list content is here on pastebin: https://pastebin.com/r5AuzAuS

Unfortunately this page I've already seen 10 times the last day and doesn't help me at all.

I will check something else. Give me 5 minutes please.

 

Edit

 

Wwhen clicking on the play button for a channel it's just spinning 5 minutes and nothing happens.

Adding that link above in VLC media player nearly instantly starts the stream.

You might have bandwidth limiting on, or the hardware tries to transcode - but it is not powerful enough to do it in reasonable time. I would try as soon as you hit the play button to change the settings button to 360p and let's see how this behaves. Also check the use of CPU, as if it transcodes, the CPU use will be high.

No limitations are on. Hardware is powerful enough. VLC on the same PC works fine.

This is 100% a Emby problem.

 

I can play 1080p movies with 15 mbit bitrate without any problem.

Hi.  We cannot help you without more information.  But, if you will provide it, then we will do our best.  Thanks.

Sorry to say that but other people already provided you the information you are (this is what they are saying) asking about since a year now.

 

I am just not using Live TV anymore. I am using VLC now which is working perfectly. The problem has been resolved for me.

One person PM'd recently provided a sample stream and I was able to resolve a problem for his stream.

You can't have embedded m3u8 streams in your m3u(8) file you use with Emby.

[Guest Normal]

Inside a m3u file you can have embedded m3u8 links.

m3u is just the container.

 

m3u is a normal file format and nothing special.

Create an m3u8 file with just one entry and test this in Emby and it won't work.

Now resolve that link to get the contents and use that to create a new M3u8 file and test this in Emby.

 

1st won't work. 2nd will work.  Emby doesn't support nested m3u8 files.

I can load that m3u8 file in emby and after waiting 5 minutes it's working. So you are wrong. it just takes for-ever to load.

And the speed to change a channel when you don't use the embedded m3u8 file is?

(do what I mentioned previously)

As I said I now use something what is working correctly as many other people said here too: VLC. I don't mind about Embys Live TV anymore.
