Is there a way or maybe a future addition to plex where you can play .m3u streams without channels? Like a native, built in feature of plex (like libraries are built in.) ---

> [@Support for M3U playlistss in Live TV](https://forums.plex.tv/t/support-for-m3u-playlistss-in-live-tv/232215/1): > > Many IP TV providers provide a channel list with TS streams defined in an M3U playlist, often with HLS seperation of streams to support multiple bit rates. They also use a groupid tag to place channels into a sutiable categorisation for use in the EPG TV guides. Please consider adding support for M3U as a tuner type in DVR/Live TV. I have just tried out Emby’s version of this, and it kills Plex dead in my house for live tv. ---
