Acquired a m3u file and used sed -i to change to proper format but still unable to run the file.

[Nezreka]

this file in particular.

Did you run the sed from the readme section to add the comma after the -1?

[Nezreka]

Yeah i sure did. I 'll send a copy of my file now.

From your file, here's an example line:

#EXTINF:-1 tvg-logo="http://i.imgur.com/CvQCnwZ.png" group-title="INFO",* Fluxus IPTV
https://archive.org/download/fluxustv/Fluxus_TV.mp4

It should be:

#EXTINF:-1, tvg-logo="http://i.imgur.com/CvQCnwZ.png" group-title="INFO",* Fluxus IPTV
https://archive.org/download/fluxustv/Fluxus_TV.mp4

Notice the comma after #EXTINF:-1

Even after changing that by running sed -i 's/#EXTINF:-1/#EXTINF:-1,/g' myiptv.m3u it still doens't work. @tombowditch

[tombowditch]

Enhancement: telly should automatically do this in the future

[tombowditch]

@skiman6010 what error you getting? If unrelated please open a new issue 👍

[skiman6010]

[telly] [warning] using default m3u option, 'iptv.m3u'. launch telly with the -file=yourfile.m3u option to change this!

It's related. Same file, same problem.

[tombowditch]

@skiman6010 can you post a couple lines of your m3u, censored if needed?

[skiman6010]

@tombowditch

#EXTINF:-1, tvg-logo="http://i.imgur.com/CvQCnwZ.png" group-title="INFO",* Fluxus IPTV
<url>

#EXTINF:-1, tvg-logo="http://i.imgur.com/pYWMEWN.png" group-title="INFO",+ Free IPTV
<url>

How's that? Not sure what you all wanted censored.

Hey, I'm having the same issue, here's my first few lines as well:

EXTM3U

ENTINF:-1, tvg-name="TFC" tvg-id="None" tvg-logo="" group-title="Filipino",TFC

[tombowditch]

@skiman6010 you able to send me your m3u (or parts of it) in private so I can debug locally?

@brian21158 see above ^

@Nezreka @skiman6010

There's two streams in your m3u file that have a length of 0, and the sed didn't catch:

$ cat iptv.m3u|grep "EXTINF:0"
#EXTINF:0 tvg-logo="http://lared.cl/app/themes/lared-theme/img/icons/apple-touch-icon.png" group-title="CHILE",La Red
#EXTINF:0 tvg-logo="http://i.imgur.com/xBgH1Tw.jpg" group-title="CHILE",Maxima TV

Try performing another sed like this:

sed -i 's/#EXTINF:0/#EXTINF:0,/g' myiptv.m3u

Let me know if that helps.

[skiman6010]

@tombowditch Whoops! Rookie mistake. I didn't even think about sed missing lines like that. I'm pretty new to m3u files. Thanks for your help. :)

[tombowditch]

@skiman6010 no worries, you pointed out a thing I need to add to the README though, so thanks 👍

[Nezreka]

@tombowditch That fixed it, thank you!

[Nezreka]

@tombowditch I have a new issue now. Everything loads properly onto plex with the guide but no matter what I choose it loads for 20 seconds and gives a tuner error. Any suggestions?

[tombowditch]

@Nezreka can you enable Plex Media Server debug log and check the log file when you start a stream?

[tombowditch]

telly no longer requires this sed command.
