Need Help with Setting Up Live TV using Cabernet on Jellyfin

[Elle221LL]

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/cabernetworkapp/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.

I just got mine set up like that (imgur link)

but then every time my server restarts I'll have to manually reinput the docker ip for cabernet (172.18.0.4 here). Is there a way to input this automatically?

Does Jellyfin start before cabernet?

Does Jellyfin start before cabernet?

Currently there is not a specific order, besides Jellyfin depending on caddy, so it may start after cabernet? I wouldn't mind changing the order if that could help.

You could add cabernet as a depends_on for Jellyfin. To ensure it is up before Jellyfin starts. I'm ASSUMING the issue is that Jellyfin starts before cabernet.

I added it as a depends_on yesterday, and when docker started today the ip addresses did their normal roll up, while jellyfin retained the old IP's so behavior did not change.

Can you share your full jellyfin log via pastebin?

Sure, I had to trim a LOT because it was exceeding pastebin's limit. It seemed like a bunch of repeat items though so I hope you see something pertinent there.
