Playing M3U for Ersatztv on Enigma2 devices

  • I created my own live channel on the ersatztv.org, and the website gave me an M3U link that looks like this:

    http://localhost:8409/iptv/channels.m3u

    The link works on apps like VLC and the TviMat player on devices connected to the local network. The link works after replacing the word "LocalHot" with the IP address of the device broadcasting the channel. I added the link to the Jedi Maker Extreme plugin on my DM920, which added the link to the Bouquet. However, when I ran it wether through extplayer or the default player the channel didn't work, just a black screen. So I would like to make sure if there is a way to run this type of link on Enigma 2 devices.

    Approved the thread.
  • JediMakerXtream (which is no longer supported) or the newer version BouquetMakerXtream can play local files.
    So why not just copy the channels.m3u file to your local etc/[plugin]/ folder instead of trying to call it as an external link.

  • As per your request, I moved the m3u file to the plugin's path, which is etc/enigma2/Jediplaylists. I created the channel in the Bouquet and tried to play the channel, but it gave me the same thing a black screen. Then I downloaded the new plugin you mentioned and added the m3u file to the plugin's path. At first, the plugin didn't recognize the file, then I read at the bottom of the screen that it said I had to paste the m3u link into the playlists.txt file in the plugin's folder. I did that, and then I created the channel in the Bouquet . I tried to play the channel, and surprisingly, it worked. Thank you, brother, for the advice about using the new plugin, which I wasn't aware of, and which seems to support m3u files more than the JediMakerXtream plugin, which was my favorite and I used it for all my m3u files.
