Need Help Reformatting IPTV .m3u code for Jellyfin - Pineapple - 2025-01-22

Hi everyone,
I'm hoping to get some help with reformatting an IPTV code to work in Jellyfin. The code below currently works in VLC, but I'd like to be able to use it in Jellyfin as well.

Code:
#EXTINF:-1 group-title="USA (DADDY LIVE)" tvg-id="CBS.(WCBS).New.York,.NY.us" tvg-logo="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tv-logo/tv-logos/main/countries/united-states/us-local/cbs-2-wcbs-us.png" tvg-name="CBSNY",CBSNY
#EXTVLCOPT:http-referrer=https://{IPTV URL Censored - TDP}/
#EXTVLCOPT:http-origin=https://{IPTV URL Censored - TDP}
#EXTVLCOPT:http-user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 17_7 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/18.0 Mobile/15E148 Safari/604.1
https://{IPTV URL Censored - TDP}/index.m3u8

Any advice on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Not all IPTV will work with Jellyfin/ffmpeg. You may need to install and setup TVHeadend to act as an IPTV proxy then install the TVHeadend plugin in Jellyfin.

Thank you @TheDreadPirate, I will look into the TVHeadened plugin 😀.

Hi !

I used TVH plugin for a while and im really not satisfied with it for some reasons... but you can use the m3u created by tvh as a tv tuner in jellyfin (and also the xmltv interface of tvh as EPG source)
