Server Version#: Qnap, TVS-463 Version 5.0.0.1891
Player Version#: Plex Version 4.66.1

Channel number/Name:

I try to install IPTV with XTeVe on Plex.
Plex find the Tuner, EPG is working. And also de Channels wil be found in Plex.
But if i try to start the stream i receive allways error.

“Transmitter could not be set. Please check receiver or antenna.”

I hope someone can help me.

try this, it worked for me.
go to Xteve gui → Settings → scroll to streaming section and for Stream Buffer change it to Xteve or ffmpeg.

Then I have an IPTV provider. The channels in the m3u file look like this:

#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id=“SRF 1 HD CH” tvg-name=“SRF 1 CH” tvg-logo=“http://###.###.###.###/picons/srf1.png” group-title=“Switzerland”,SRF 1 CH
http://######.link:8080/########/gb1xKuyYNf/33460

If I open this link “http://######.link:8080/########/gb1xKuyYNf/33460” in VLC with networkstrem, then this channel can run on VLC.

Adding the m3u file in xTeVe works. The channels are recognized.
Then I added an EPG file “xmltv-complet.xml”. Also this works so far.
Stations assigned under mapping.

Here a photo of my settings in xTeVe:

Now my problem:

Neither with the link: http://192.168.1.5:34400/m3u/xteve.m3u nor in Plex nor with the links from http://192.168.1.5:34400/lineup.json do I get the streams to run.

I have mapped only 4 channels for the test.

What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks for your help.

If you’re insistent on using FFmpeg then the CLI option should be -hide_banner -loglevel error -i [URL] -c copy -f mpegts pipe:1 as per the default.

I would completely turn FFmpeg off and set Stream Buffer to No Buffer. It’s rarely needed unless you’re trying to transcode the stream with very specific options.

Plex already uses FFmpeg in the server so why exactly would this make sense to go FFmpeg(xTeVe) → FFmpeg(Plex) → Client app. It just doesn’t under most circumstances.

Thanks for the Infos.
I had try without FFmpeg, but is also not working.

I think, maybe the problem is on xTeVe, not Plex.
Becouse, if i try this links on VLC is also not working.
