401 using --xtream-api-get

[wilsoniain]

Hi. Getting a 401 trying to proxy xtream with use of --xtream-api-get as m3u not available from provider.

I can directly connect to xtream server using:

https://github.com/PhunkyBob/iptv_playlist_browser

However using below configuration I get a 401 error when accessing following url:

http://localhost:8080/iptv.m3u?username=xxxxxxxxx&password=xxxxxxxx

I guess I may be using --xtream-api-get incorrectly within the configuration or local m3u url? As example not shown in the readme, I thought this may be useful to post for others.

Need help with this too. I am even stuck at getting a docker to run using the xteam-api-get. @wilsoniain did you install directly in OS or running inside docker?

Also having trouble with this (m3u not available from provider). Did either of you figure this out?

[wilsoniain]

Gave up in the end.... Used python from https://github.com/PhunkyBob/iptv_playlist_browser to generate periodic m3u and loaded that into tvheadend server

I really wish he would turn on discussions or give us a discord server we could talk about this proxy. The documentation is not sufficient. So you solution is XC codes only and gets you around them not allowing m3u? My provider is going to do this soon, trying to find a work around. I want the software because I want to run it on a local server or container with macvlan so I can tunnel that specific IP down a VPN tunnel but not the traffic from the rest of my local network / client device IPs. I was using xteve which works perfectly for this case but with m3u going away and no XC in xteve, now I am stuck.
