HDHomeRun / M3U - Streaming formats

[marmei 37]

I use xTeVe (M3U Proxy / HDHomeRun Emulator).

The HDHomeRun integration does not play some streams in Emby.

xTeVe also generates M3U playlists, if the same stream is included in the M3U playlist, playback will work.

Is there a reason why Emby behaves differently with HDHomeRun and M3U?

[Luke 42077]

One thing I noticed in the log from another user is that the stream response is missing a Content-Type header.

[Luke 42077]

So make sure for m3u, it is

application/x-mpegURL

and for .ts, it is

video/mp2t

[marmei 37]

xTeVe passes only the streaming URL to Emby:

HDHomeRun lineup.json: (Stream is not working in Emby, but in VLC)

{
"GuideName": "RTL",
"GuideNumber": "1093",
"URL": "http://192.168.178.57:34400/stream/cnRzcDovLzE5Mi4xNjguMTc4LjI1Mjo1NTQvP2ZyZXE9MTIyJmJ3PTgmbXN5cz1kdmJjJm10eXBlPTY0cWFtJnNyPTY5MDAmc3BlY2ludj0wJnBpZHM9MCwxNiwxNywxOCwyMCwxMDEsMTQwMSwxNDAwLDE0MDIsMTQwMywxNDA0LDE0MDYsMTQwNywxNDA4"
},

192.168.178.57 is xTeVe. The URL is base64, the correct URL is passed to Emby via Redirect 302

URL:(base64 to string) = rtsp://192.168.178.252:554/?freq=122&bw=8&msys=dvbc&mtype=64qam&sr=6900&specinv=0&pids=0,16,17,18,20,101,1401,1400,1402,1403,1404,1406,1407,1408

 

 

M3U: (Stream works)

#EXTM3U url-tvg="http://192.168.178.57:34400/xmltv/xteve.xml" x-tvg-url="http://192.168.178.57:34400/xmltv/xteve.xml"
#EXTINF:0 channelID="x-ID.84" tvg-chno="1093" tvg-name="RTL" tvg-id="1093" tvg-logo="https://s3.amazonaws.com/schedulesdirect/assets/stationLogos/s52564_h3_aa.png" group-title="Test",RTL
rtsp://192.168.178.252:554/?freq=122&bw=8&msys=dvbc&mtype=64qam&sr=6900&specinv=0&pids=0,16,17,18,20,101,1401,1400,1402,1403,1404,1406,1407,1408

Source is a Fritz DVB-C repeater

Ok so then this is just a general issue with http sources that don't provide Content-Type in their response header. We use that to figure out how to handle the stream. In the absence of Content-Type we assume mpegts, and if that's not what it is, then there will be a problem.

 

I'm not sure yet how we're going to proceed, although I could resolve this by passing all streams through ffmpeg. But then that means we'll have to deal with complaints about transcoding.

[marmei 37]

But this is an RTSP stream. Or does Emby think through the redirect that it is still the HTTP protocol?

[Luke 42077]

Ok sorry, it's treating all hdhomerun urls as http. I can look at that. Thanks.

[marmei 37]

OK thank you. That was my guess too

[EODCrafter 181]

If you guys get this figured out I'll edit my tutorial, but for right now I have the best set up for XTeve with Emby Posted.

Qual é o verdadeiro valor do sistema  O Schedules Direct?
Para que ele não serve para incorporação de servidor, qual sua utilidade para incorporação?

Looks like you broke the TV Guide, It won't update.

[EODCrafter 181]

Update: Just Network path is no longer working.....

[EODCrafter 181]

Also, when I switch to seek instead of live streaming, after a few minutes the stream fails.

 

I enabled 2 hours worth of buffering.

No problem, just reporting. I used path instead.
