Live TV - Owncast/OBS Live Stream - Peter - 2024-08-26

Hi everyone,

I want to use Jellyfin to view a Live Stream using Owncast/OBS Studio.
The final setup should be: Camera/Microfoon - OBS - internet - Owncast - local network - Jellyfin Server - internet - Jellyfin App (Computer, Tablet, Cellular phone)

In VLC, the stream can be viewed without any problem using the following link: https://livestream.domain.org/hls/stream.m3u8

In Jellyfin, added a Tuner, see below:
Dashboard - Live TV - Tuner Devices - Add - Tuner Type: M3U Tuner - File or URL:  https://livestream.domain.org/hls/stream.m3u8
User agent: (empty)
Simultaneous stream limit: 0
Auto-loop live streams: (unchecked)
Ignore DTS (decoding timestamp):  (checked or unchecked --> No difference)
Save

When selecting the Live TV in the app, Programmes - On Now, Shows, Movies etc. are all "0-0 of 0".
Guide: shows as expected a timeline
Channels: 0-0 of 0
Recordings: 0-0 of 0
Schedule: (empty)
Programme: (empty)

In the log file, now errors, only message like:
[INF] Refreshing guide with 7 days of guide data
[INF] "Refresh Guide" Completed after 0 minute(s) and 3 seconds

Is it possible to use Jellyfin and stream using Owncast/OBS?
If yes, what I'm doing wrong?

Ubuntu 22.04
Jellyfin version: 10.9.10


Thank you in advance!

What OS is the jellyfin server running?


RE: Live TV - Owncast/OBS Live Stream - Peter - 2024-08-26

Jellyfin version: 10.9.10

Operating system version. Not Jellyfin.

Whatever link you are using for your Owncast stream, what happens when you run this command on the server.

Code:
wget https://livestream.domain.org/hls/stream.m3u8

Replace the URL with your actual URL. Does the server actually retrieve the m3u8 file?

And the contents of that file look good?


RE: Live TV - Owncast/OBS Live Stream - Peter - 2024-08-26

Used Nano to open the file:
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:6
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=1233320,RESOLUTION=854x480,CODECS="avc1.64001e,mp4a.40.2"
0/stream.m3u8

Same as on the Owncast server.

I've updated Jellyfin to version 10.9.10, same issue :-(.
