creating m3u file for Android.

[clarkss12]

Not really sure how to ask this question.

Situation, trying to watch live TV streams using Dune HD media player. I can watch live streams, IF there is a live stream playing on a different device like my PC. I can watch recorded media, but not live streams...

Running DVR engine on Synoloy NAS...

I can create a m3u file and it will play live TV streams using Windows, but not using my Dune media player. This is my m3u file >>> "#EXTINF:-1 channel-id="2.1" channel-number="2.1" tvg-name="WJBK" group-title="Favorites",2.1 WJBK
http://hdhr-1080270e.local:5004/auto/v2.1"

What am I missing..... Guess I am not explaining very well.

did you try by ip address rather than using the mdns .local

Thank you, I will try that next.

Hopefully it works but in rereading your post I'm not sure that is it... when exactly does it work and when doesn't it work as I think I might be missing something there.

You may wish to try playing through a record engine but that might be somewhat problematic for a m3u player... as there are a couple of parameters that need to be added and one should change with new requests.

There are some things that don't work well with live content as they must know how large it is (rather than being a continuous potentially never ending stream).

I tried this but did not work.... #EXTINF:-1 channel-id="2.1" channel-number="2.1" tvg-name="WJBK" group-title="Favorites",2.1 WJBK
http://hdhr-192.168.10.245.local:5004/auto/v2.1

Been doing more reading, what about a strm file??

Edit: When I am playing a stream on the HDHomeRun app, I can play it live on my Dune HD app...

Hope these photos help explain what I am talking about. It is NOT that important, just something I would like to get working.

Try this instead

Code: Select all

#EXTINF:-1 channel-id="2.1" channel-number="2.1" tvg-name="WJBK" group-title="Favorites",2.1 WJBK
http://192.168.10.245:5004/auto/v2.1

Using the IPv4 address instead of hostname of the tuner

Unfortunately, that did not work either... but thanks.

That works now, using IpTV Pro app.
