How can I configure the m3u in emby server? IPTV subscription.

Hi, just follow the instruction here
https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44001160415-live-tv-setup

Follow instructions in that link for M3U tuner setup and you should be fine.

I'm running the same problem. Emby 4.6.4.0 on a Synology DS920+

Using the following URL
https://iptv-org.github.io/iptv/languages/eng.m3u

With guide
https://iptv-org.github.io/epg/guides/ontvtonight.com.guide.xml

Taken from the following repos
https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv
https://github.com/iptv-org/epg

I can see channels listed however nothing plays.



I've gone through the troubleshooting steps listed here to no avail.

This appears to be the standout report in the error log. I've attached the full thing anyway.

Hi, You are going to need to pull that m3u file down locally and then try playing each channel in VLC while removing stations in foreign languages you don't want.
A lot of those channels are GEO blocked or don't work so you will need to remove them again.

Basically when you're done editing the m3u list all channels should be ones you want that play in VLC.  Once done that add them to Emby Server again and see how this works.

Thanks Cayars,

Those channels were all English language but I gave everything a go with an Australian (local to me) list from the same source. 
Most of the channels worked so I guess they must have been geo blocked as you say.

Hello....change the url to https:// instead of http://

 

This is reported on Matt's website URLs not working? Change to https (fixed) (matthuisman.nz)

Thank you for this suggestion! I was driving myself nuts troubleshooting a similar issue with the No Compatible Streams Error for Live TV. This resolved my issue.

My setup is running Xteve to feed into Emby (primarily to cleanup channel mapping). The M3U URL from my provider was http. Once I changed the M3U URL in Xteve to https and refreshed the tuner in Emby, then my streams have worked without issue so far.
