Hello everyone, I’ve been looking everywhere for this, and haven’t been able to find something satisfying.
I would like to add live sports to my Jellyfin; I’ve been looking at threadfin, but I can’t find m3mu relevant files.
Would you know where can I find a reliable provider? Looking at fmhy, I find links, but can’t automate the scraping to my instance. Is there a way to do this?
You must log in or # to comment.
There’s a list of publicly available IPTV channels here
https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv
It’s a big list which you can filter and export if you find something you like.
I haven’t tried in a while so YMMV.
all the good channels are blocked though. that’s the issue. i wouldn’t pay for iptv if i could get the channels i want.
I’ve found even harder to find than live sports are live TV channels for shows. All my previous places I used to go to are either not working anymore, paid, or only work in browser with a good adblocker. Lmk if you find a suitable solution
I’ve been looking at installing Dispatcherr recently. Not positive it will solve all of your problems, but might help with management? I haven’t installed it yet, so I’m not 100%. https://github.com/Dispatcharr/Dispatcharr
There is a reddit channel that points various sources of video, something eye pee tee vee new zone.
You can get an antenna and an HDHomerun box if the teams you want are broadcast in your area.
I compiled my m3u playlist by searching through various lists, especially iptv-org linked on another comment.
As far as sports, I’ve found a variety of random sports channels but nothing targeted to my area/teams.
I think it could be difficult to find reliable and relevant sports channels that are more legal/stable. Like someone else said, you might want an antenna for local sports if you don’t already have.
One of the things you can do is get a proper iptv provider. However most of them have literally thousands of channels that are entirely irrelevant to what you want and also Jellyfin will choke on having that many channels added (ask me how I know).
One of the things you can do is use Dispatcharr to manage your iptv channels and act as a middleman. You can do things like only add channels from the sports group to it and that will give you a manageable number of channels to pass to Jellyfin. You can also experiment with other tools that you can find in the Dispatcharr Discord to do things like automatically create a list of all of today’s sports events, create channels automatically for each event, create a group of all the games for today’s NFL games, etc… Dispatcharr will provide an m3u file you can give to Jellyfin.
Do the IPTV providers give an M3U file? Is that how it works?
Sorry I have never tried one
No worries. Providers will usually give you an m3u or Xtreme Codes, both of which are usable for Dispatcharr and Dispatcharr will give an m3u to pop into Jellyfin. There’s also an epg they will give you as well and Dispatcharr will also output an EPG that you can put into Jellyfin so you can see what shows are on (if your provider gives you that info anyways).
