Hi everyone, I’m trying to watch IPTV on Jellyfin using Threadfin and an M3U playlist.
Channels work fine at first.
After a few minutes, the channels close on their own.
I’ve tried using FFmpeg as buffer, automatic M3U refresh, but the problem still happens.
Has anyone experienced this or found a reliable way to keep channels running on Jellyfin using Threadfin?
This is the error on the jellyfin logs:
