Ok not sure what im missing here…this seems to be the best option out there…so how do i install?
Look at the Discord channel #faq, there is all the information you are looking for.
1.1 runs like a dream vS 1.2
Is this just a Qnap issue or is this common?
Anyone else having trouble with zap2xml the last day or so?
It’s choking on some bad JSON coming from zap2it.com - I think it’s due to the coming time change.
In Plex, I get ‘Unknown Airing’ for channels until early Monday morning. And of course, no channels will play if there is no show in the program guide. (Bad design decision, btw.)
Someone who knows how to solve my problem?
Problem: I have one xteve server installed. I have added that DVR to plex. My problem is that their are no operator or channel list that covers all of my channels… is their anyway to solve this? Can I add channels without connected to EPG list?..
Can someone help me please. My IPTV provider is constantly updating channels and adding new ones into the m3u file, and for some reason when I try to map my channels in xteve I cant choose my EPG xml file, the option isnt there and I cant enable the channel with a xteve dummy because the same option is missing. Any ideas?
So, there is no way to play m3u8 playlist via xteve ?
No, Plex expects a TS stream
most iptv can be edited from .m3u8 to .ts if that helps yea, I know one of mine didn’t end on anything, like for eq. http://itv.google.co/yedda.m3u8=897gthblablathepointinthis798hgjfbvk
All I had to do was add .ts at the end of it. if that helps for you.
This would help others like it did in my boat for services from local host and get your DHCP.
Perhaps you could add it to your helpful hints on Discord.
Since those of people install them on linux devices while there main plex server is on some other device and different operating systems that plex won’t able to connect to xteve due to when it starts into localhost. And since I’m not sure how to standby/sleep on start-up, I’ve created this script myself which really helps greatly.
Basically, it loads up like normal from services, but this time without logging in and restart it each time on every power loss, auto restart script
Step 1.
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/xteve-restart.sh
Copy below
#!/bin/bash
echo “Hi, Tv is Loading… ETA 18 seconds…”
sleep 8
#sudo service restart xteve (incase you may need this one, worked for me a few times)
sudo systemctl restart xteve.service
sleep 8
echo “All Done”**
#/etc/systemd/system/xteve.serviceEdited, if u want a log to see if its working correctly, add this, change location to your desire.
To see only log messages for the current boot: add -b (Added it as default below)sleep 18
journalctl -u xteve.service -b > /etc/systemd/system/xteve-restart.log
echo “All Done”
save it
sudo chmod 744 /etc/systemd/system/xteve-restart.sh
Step 2.
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/xteve-restart.service
Copy below
[Unit]
Description=RestartXteve
[Service]
ExecStart=/etc/systemd/system/xteve-restart.sh
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.targetsave it
sudo chmod 644 /etc/systemd/system/xteve-restart.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable xteve-restart.service
sudo systemctl start xteve-restart.service
Test it out, reload page to quickly, you didn’t give enough time for xteve to restart services. Chow!

Edited
Added a cmd for output log file for xteve-restart.sh
Added -b for current log from boot.
Were you able to make it work? I was able to make it work with Docker and opening a Port in the Router. There are no current guides available for Synology, so I’ll try to put simple steps on what worked for me:
This is on a Synology 918+
-
Install latest Plex Server from Plex.tv
-
Install Docker from Package Center (Synology)
-
(Not sure if this is needed but I did anyways) In Docker go to Registry/Add/Registry Name: “crobibero” without quotes/Registry URL: “https://hub.docker.com/r/crobibero/xteve” without quotes. Then Apply
-
In Docker go to Image/Add/Add from URL/https://hub.docker.com/r/crobibero/xteve then click Add
-
Double click on the “Server/Domain Icon” with 15MB to open General Settings
-
Stop here and now setup ‘Port Forwarding’ on your Router
-
Google your Router Model to setup Port Forwarding
This is an example of the setup:
Name: xTeVe
Port 34400 (Default Port 34400 by xTeVe)
URL: 10.10.10.5 (This URL is only an example, use Fing app on your phone to find Synology’s IP or use your Router GUI and find Synology’s IP)
Port 34400 (Default Port 34400 by xTeVe)
Protocol: TCP (TCP is what I used, could pick BOTH but didn’t test that)
-
Now go back to Docker and on General Settings change CPU priority if desired. I left mine as Medium, then click on Advance Settings
-
Select ‘Create Shortcut on Desktop’/Web Page “< yourIPAddressFrom Synology >:34400” (Default Port 34400 by xTeVe). Then click Apply.
-
Open a browser and type “< YourSynologyIPAddress >:34400/web” Example: “10.10.10.5:34400/web” This should open XTeVe. If it does not open go back to step 7 and check your Router Settings for Port Forwarding and make sure you are using the correct IP address.
-
Follow this youtube video starting from 1 min 30 sec “https://youtu.be/x0qPOBzmZJA”
-
Done. Can’t help you with the XML files but this should get you started.
1080p, no issues!
Hi,
- your link is invalid.
- I think you are wrong, there is not only syntax problem between m3u and m3u8, the engine working with protocol which works only with m3u, but not with m3u8 video decoder.
- I was giving you an example bc my main link has my profile and pssword withn the link. just like any other iptv service.
http:// itv.google.co/yedda .m3u8 = 897g th blablathepointinthis 798 hgjf bvk
stream: 897g
user: blablathepointinthis
pswd: hgjf
at the end of bvk I just add .ts at the end like so
http:// itv.google.co/yedda .m3u8 =897gthblablathepointinthis798hgjfbvk .ts
just depends on how your iptv accepts it or not. some do, and some don’t.
my m3u8 of my real link streams, I add a .ts next to it in my vlc without erasing m3u8 still works. look at the bolded above. Remember, just as an example, I just wrote up a link that came to my mind, bc honestly, do you think anyone here would post their real link on here? besides lesser tuners but you get banned for it.
Can’t seem to filter by group title. When I enter a filter term like
NETWORK TV
and I have lines containing:
group-title=“NETWORK TV”
xTeVe filters ALL channels, leaving me with an empty channel list.
No matter what M3U source I use and channels I pick, I can’t get it to play a thing. And I have restarted Plex multiple times.
For more information look in the Plex log
Thanks. The problem was m3u8 file. Changed it to ts.
I have another problem. whenever I exit any live channel I get an error that says:
recording failed for live tv
But I’m not recording, I’m just leaving the channel. Happens every time.

whenever I exit any live channel I get an error that says:
recording failed for live tv
But I’m not recording, I’m just leaving the channel. Happens every time.
Whenever I exit any live TV channel, I get this error:
recording failed: live TV - session
I’m not recording the channel, just exiting out of it. Happens every time, even though I can watch any channel just fine.
