Hi there,
I've been trying to solve this problem for a couple of days with no luck so I am hoping that maybe some has managed to solve this already.
I am trying to stream channels from my E2 box (Zgemma H7) to my TV with Plex Media Server. I have my PMS running on a custom TrueNAS server with the client app installed on my LG TV.|
Zgemma and TV are in two different rooms and I cannot run the cables across. So I have to go with a streaming solution.
I have been doing some reading and everything is pointing me to the following setup:
- Extract a playlist from E2 box (m3u).
- Set up xTeVe service locally to spoof a tuner in Plex.
- Load playlist from E2 box into xTeVe.
- Add xTeVe as a tuner in Plex.
- Profit!
Sounds simple enough. E2 -> xTeVe -> Plex - TV.
What I cannot get to work in my setup is step 3. For some reason xTeVe shows available streams as 0 no matter what I do. Most common cause would be that I have too many steams in the playlist, the limit is 480 (enforced by Plex) but my playlist has only 250 streams.
I have tried two different approaches to obtain the playlist:
- Click on the little TV button in webif next to a bouquet I am interested in. It results in downloading an .m3u file with a playlist.
- Export the bouquet from webif (this downloads a tar file) and then convert it using a 3rd party website (https://siptv.eu/converter/)
I have tried both options and both result in a playlist that I can use without any issues with VLC.
Unfortunately after loading that same playlist into xTeVe it fails to find the streams.
I have tried to use xTeVe and Plex with a free playlist that I have found on the Internet and it worked fine. I could see and stream channels with PMS.
So has anyone tried a similar setup. Is there any tutorials I could follow?
Thanks :)
