Need Help with Setting Up Live TV using Cabernet on Jellyfin - Elle221LL - 2023-12-03

Hey all,
I'm quite new to setting up live TV and I'm trying to get it working with Cabernet in Jellyfin. Cabernet is a tool for controlling IPTV streams and works with plugins like DaddyLive, Pluto TV, XUMO, and supports M3U/XMLTV.XML files (useful for SamsungTV, STIRR, DistroTV, Plex TV, etc.).
I followed the Docker setup steps from their GitHub (https://github.com/cabernetwork/cabernet) but I'm hitting some snags. Here's my progress:
Docker Compose Setup: Did this part successfully:
version: '3'
services:
  cabernet:
    image: ghcr.io/cabernetwork/cabernet:latest
    ports:
      - "6077:6077"
    volumes:
      - /mnt/portainer/cabernetworkConfused-faceapp/data

Got it up at http://192.168.0.101:6077/
Plugin Installation: Installed DaddyLive from the plugins section.
Enabling Stream Providers: Turned it on and saved the changes.
Restarting via Web Interface: Restarted Cabernet through its web interface.

Next, in Jellyfin:
Tried to add an M3U tuner in Live TV.
Entered URL: http://192.168.0.101:6077
Now, I'm stuck with this error:
"Alert: There was an error saving the TV provider. Please ensure it is accessible and try again."

I even checked out this Reddit post (https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/17pq1ku/how_is_everyone_doing_livetv_self_hosted_in_2023/) hoping to find some guidance on setting it up correctly, but no luck. Most discussions don't get into the nitty-gritty of setup.

As someone completely new to live TV setups, I'm at a bit of a loss. Any advice, tips, or step-by-step guidance would be really appreciated.

We would need to see your logs, assuming this is a Jellyfin problem.

Honestly, you might have better luck on TVHeadEnd's forum.

the containers don't see the host at it's lan ip address, they see it in a separate docker network, and you cannot assume what address they will use. If you set a container name in the compose, you can use that name as a hostname to connect to each other.
