Alternative M3U URL

[Rogier21]

Hello all,

I have created a HDHomerun -> NextPVR proxy so I can load it in Plex.

This works fine except for when I want to load up a stream, the URL of my stream is:
http://server:8866/live?channel=4.1

But when Plex loads a stream, it appends ?transcode=none to the URL, so it becomes:
http://server:8866/live?channel=4.1?transcode=none

This errors out because it's not a valid URL and the stream doesn't look.

Is there an alternative way to load up stream, something like http://server:8866/live/4.1

Thanks!

I've added support for this to the next build of NextPVR v5.

Thanks! I saw a new version for 5 released, is that in there now?

Yes, the current build can view a channel stream like http://server:8866/live/4.1

[Rogier21]

Awesome, thanks! I can now connect Plex up to NextPVR!

Was this behaviour changed in the recent versions? When I try accessing http://server:8866/live/2.1 or http://server:8866/live?channel=4.1 I get a 404.

http://server:8866/index.html works fine, but http://server:8866/ gives a 404 too.

No, not in any release.

I just checked, and can successfully use VLC to view urls like http://localhost:8866/live/2

[Rogier21]

Strange, it used to work fine, but now Kestrel is giving me back 404's, even when I query the URL in postman I get a 404.

Does http://localhost:8866/ give you a 404 or does it display the index? I have a feeling it has something to do with that.

[mvallevand]

Neither. Technically it gives a 302 with redirect to the login.html page and it is up to your browser what happens.
