I would like to ask for support for IPTV to be used as a tuner.
I was using a MAGBOX, but I only want to see English channels and channels in my native language - not easily done w/ MAGBOX.
I then switched to a Windows APP, same issue as MAGBOX. Shows all channels.
I am now using NextPVR on a Windows system, as I am able to hide global channels that I do not want and also has the option to setup recording/recurring recording, etc.
This sounds familiar as Plex already does what NextPVR does, except Plex has no true IPTV support that I can find. I would like to see Plex offer IPTV as a tuner on their Plex Pass plan to compliment their hardware based “premium personal media experience”.
nb: This would be a “pay for service” feature as part of the Plex Pass [live tv+dvr] to help offset the cost of developing a proper feature.
p.s. - make it for the Synology NAS first, then maybe Windows, etc…
In addition to Otto’s feedback on how you could already do this… there’s also already an existing suggestion discussing an option to add m3u/IPTV as tuner to the Plex DVR system. Please comment/vote in that thread in order to help us avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes.
Unless I’m missing some unique aspect of your suggestion I’ll close this thread as a duplicate.
