Jellyfin: The Free Software Media System @lemmy.ml RandomLegend @lemmy.dbzer0.com

Live TV - Germany, Vodafone, Fritz!Box, GigaTV

Heyho, i am a long time Plex user but since they go more and more corpo each day and i have a few .... otherwisely obtained assets in my library i want to make the switch to Jellyfin before i really HAVE to.

Everything works great so far! But i have a DVB-C access on my router and it can create a m3u playlist for me to simply plug into VLC for example. On plex this was super easy and i just had to reorder some channels here and there and then everything worked great.

Now i was able to put the m3u playlist into jellyfin and it manages to find the channels... but when i click on a channel i only get audio. the image stays black. My router shows me that the stream is going and shows the quality is good.

Also plex was able to actually grab the metadata of all the shows running.

Am i missing something?

  • i have the same setup here and have this running fine here. i had similar problems with not running livetv earlier and had to use the jellyfin webinterface to play live tv since the app not work good IIRC.

    (using the web player in the jellyfin app IS currently working for me)

    for epg data I use: https://github.com/iptv-org/epg (hint: I use the site web.magentatv.de)

    • So you also went into your FritzBox webui, DVB-C, Senderliste, Senderliste erzeugen and plugged that m3u file into Jellyfin as an m3u-Tuner, right?

      • yeah. i did remove all channels i don't use but ... yes

      • I just had a look in my .m3u

        i guess the pids might be location dependant so you won't be able to copy & paste this.
