Very cool. I’ve used a paid service for years now that gets me all sorts of sports and channels very reliably, I would assume they’re doing something similar to make this work. Might try this though with my home server setup. Think it could be ran from within a docker container so I could add it to an existing docker compose media server setup?

any chance you'd be willing to share what the service is? I use streameast all the time but it's not reliable enough

Not OP, but I have used iptvore[dot]net previously

I love it. I’m willing to pay for streaming sports services, to a point, but all of them are freaking insane. For example, my wife and I like watching baseball. So let’s do the right thing and pay for it, right? LOL, as if that were possible. For $120[0] we can watch the Giants games, or for $220, all games… but subject to blackout. For $120, we can’t actually watch home games. We’d have to pay for a separate streaming service for those.

It’s similar for NFL, and I assume NHL and NBA, too. I’d pay to watch the stuff I watch if it were possible, but it’s not!

Sport streaming is the one where I don't feel bad about using unofficial services, they are reasonably priced, I can watch the broadcast of the country that I prefer (Sky UK over the German coverage for example) and I can use an app like https://www.uhfapp.com which is more polished and works better than all the official streaming apps combined.

This works with Jellyfin because it supports m3u:

https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/live-tv/setup-guide...

Channels DVR also supports m3u:

https://getchannels.com/docs/channels-dvr-server/how-to/cust...

The README mentions Plex and Emby, but those don't support m3u, so you need to use a proxy which makes an m3u source appear like a local tuner such as:

https://github.com/Threadfin/Threadfin

https://github.com/xteve-project/xTeVe

https://github.com/vorghahn/iptv4plex

There is also threadfin, which I found a bit more friendly than XTeVe.

Above system works pretty well but had trouble with encode/decode speed somewhere. Tried with N100 cpu and still had the same result...probably user error somewhere but none of the options seemed to work. No issues with UHF so kept using that.

Thanks, just added it.
