Getting abema TV stream in jellyfin - zanciks - 2025-07-16
Hey all.
I'm currently trying to get live TV from Abema TV into jellyfin. However, Abema requires a Japanese IP address.
I have a VPN myself. I have been trying to get a setup with threadfin + openvpn (each in their own docker container).
I've given a link to threadfin for Abema for a playlist (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/karenda-jp/AbemaTV/refs/heads/main/abema240P.m3u).
I think that perhaps my main issue, is being unaware how to get this into jellyfin?
I have so far tried:
- Putting the github m3u link from above into jellyfin (this lets me see all of the channels, but I cannot watch them due to my IP not being in Japan for jellyfin!)
- Putting the link (http://[my threadfin IP]/m3u/abema.m3u (playlist name is abema. This doesn't show anything in the channels)
- Putting the link (http://[my threadfin IP]/m3u/threadfin.m3u (I saw something that implied this link was a type of master link for all playlists?)
Has anybody been able to do something similar successfully? Thanks!
