How does Jellyfin fetch the XMLTV data?

[pixel24]

Hi@all,

I am currently making my first attempts with IPTV. I have two URL's from a German provider in which the access data (user / password) are also included.

First I tested them in a desktop client for IPTV (Hybnotix) which works fine. The channels are displayed cleanly and the streams run stable.

When I then inserted them into JF I was unfortunately a bit disappointed. The display is almost unusable and it often hangs :-(

In JF I enter the URL for XMLTV in the corresponding configuration in the admin interface.

I wanted to look at the XMLTV data (content) to find out where the problem is. With the M3U URL I can simply download and look at it with 'wget [URL]'. With the XMLTV URL this does not work. Nothing happens here.

JF fetched the data in some way. Only how? Do I have a chance to do this manually?

We would need to see your logs to help diagnose the problem. Both the jellyfin and ffmpeg logs. Upload them to pastebin and link it back here.

I was able to solve the problem. I need to include the URL's (M3U & XMLTV) in ' [URL] '. Otherwise the special characters they contain (in the password etc.) will be counted as control characters.

Now I can look at the data to see where the problem is :-)
