Buffer Size: 5 MB
Timeout for new client connections: 500
FFmpeg Options: -hide_banner -loglevel error -i [URL] -c copy -f mpegts pipe:1

Here the log file from xTeVe:

Thanks for your Help.

If i put the Streaming URL on VLC is working. But not with FFmpeg, xTeVe and Plex.

Thanks for your help.

It tells you the problem in the log. The provider is returning with an error saying your connection is unauthorized.

To start with you should turn the Stream Buffer to “No Buffer”. It’s not needed because Plex Media Server acts as it’s own buffer.

Also, set the number of tuners at the top of the settings page to the number of connections you are allowed.

I can’t help you beyond this.
