Does anyone have any tips on how to have a good experience with IPTV? So far I’ve tried 2 (well, maybe it’s just 1) IPTV providers and the experience just kinda sucks. Most of the time I can’t get channels to load and when I do, it usually takes like 30s-40s to load the channel. I definitely can’t reasonably browse channels.
Once a channel loads, it’s usually fine.
I’m using dispatcharr + Jellyfin.
My server is plugged in via ethernet, but it does stream over wifi to my TV.
Are there any settings I could change to speed things up? Or is there some way I could auto-remove channels that don’t load? Do I need faster internet speeds? Are the only reliable channels US channels? (I’m trying to watch non-US channels.)
But then you can’t easily load the EPG XML as with dispatcharr + Jellyfin
The IPTV provider should provide the EPG, either as a URL or via “Xtreme Codes” (which is essentially just a base URL for an API that provides both the playlist and the EPG).
Yeaahh…About that with less than legal streams lol.
Most japanese EPGs are, well, japanese.
So I put a translation script inbetween that translates every programm title and description daily…Works as well as you can expect from a free google translate call.
Nice! That’s a great idea.
