Live TV Tuner – How can I add M3U links? - Bobafett - 2024-10-24

Hi,

I'm new to the world of mediaservers, and set up Jellyfin for the first time yesterday. (Raspberry Pi, OpenMediaVault, Jellyfin set up as a Docker container).
I've successfully added movies, all working fine. Next step: add Live TV stations.

I found a video tutorial ( https://odysee.com/@ytimo:0/jellyfiniptvteil1:c ) on how to download a list of TV streams (via https://iptv-org.github.io/ ) in M3U format, and then add those M3U files in Jellyfin's Live TV Tuner Setup.

At minute 6:44 in the above tutorial, he browses the M3U file in the "Live TV Tuner Setup" screen.
On my setup, however, Jellyfin does not display any M3U files at all. I'm 100% certain they are there.
I've re-scanned all libraries – and like I said: my movies are working fine, and are inside the same Media folder on the same mapped drive (just a different subfolder).

Does Jellyfin need some sort of Plugin in order to read m3u lists?

Thank you for your help!!

Problem solved – user error / wrong filepath in my docker file for Jellyfin.
Once I put the m3u links into the "Movies" folder, they became visible.
