TVHeadend and Emby

[egandt 3]

I have TvHeadend working and after some recording issue with Emby using a playlist I thought I'd give it a try, but I stuck, I enabled the plugin, but all that does is give me access to the  recordings.

I want to have access to the live channels as well:

 

But when I try to add the list:

 http://user:password@10.120.25.XX:9981/tvheadend/playlist/channels.m3u
or
http://user:password@10.120.25.XX:9981/tvheadend/playlist

I'm unable to to save "There was an error saving the TV provider. Please ensure it is accessible and try again"

 

 I'm unable to get past this to use TVHeadend as the provider.

Now obviously security is needed to access TVheadend and this URL works fine in a browser,so is this a product issue with Emby there is no place to include a field for username/password.  Is there a work around?

 

 

I even tried removing all security from local networks so that: http://10.120.25.xx:9981/tvheadend/playlist/ works from a local browser or wget without a password, but again not from Emby.

No now I'm completely lost.

@@Gerrit507 how do you handle this?

[egandt 3]

I figured out the cause, the problem is to do with Docker, as both Emby and Tvheadend are running in docker I had to also allow the address 172.19.0.0/24 as unpassworded (Internal IP's for the docker containers).  Still would be nice to be able to pass a passworded URL for m3u's, more secure that way.

Hi egandt,

 

I'm having almost the same issue as you described, the only difference is that I have both Emby and Tvheadend on a macvlan network, can I ask where did you allow the subnet as unpassworded? I looked everywhere on Tvheadend and wasn't able to find that setting.

 

Thanks!

In TVH you create a no-auth user '*' without a password. In that user's details you can restrict access by subnet.

 Thanks Q-Droid,

 

I already had that "*" user without password, the only difference was that I had the allowed networks set to 0.0.0.0/0,::/0... After modifying everything I could think of I finally recreated the macvlan network and everything start working :facepalm:

 

Thanks again for your time guys!

 

Best regards,

Reviving an older post, but having the same problem I think. I made a user named *. The option to set a password or not I cannot find in the user settings?

My network is a standard 192.168.1.x network. What do I fill in at allowed networks? My Synology has 192.168.1.17 for example.

It would be in TVH settings, not the TVH plugin for Emby.

In TVH UI the user accounts (Access Entries) and the Passwords are separate tabs. An account without a corresponding entry in the Passwords tab does not need a password to access TVH.

The default value for Allowed Networks is "0.0.0.0/0,::/0", unrestricted access by network and a safe option for home LANs.
