After being a plex lifetime member for less than 48H i’m very sad to see that plex doesn’t support M3U url for IPTV, in norway there are only digital channels and therefore we can’t use a thirdparty tuner because the cards are gone aswell… even the so called OTA are encrypted now a days.

is adding a M3U xml URL option to plex a possible feature in the future? - This is my only hope for getting live tv in plex.

Too bad plugins are disabled, i know IPTV M3U plugins used to exist for this very reason.
