Export all channels of tvheadend inside a m3u playlist file

Hi, I'm just wondering if it is possible to export all the available channels inside tvheadend as an m3u playlist file so that I can open the exported file...

By default all playlist are exported withpass profile,
same for users.

pass profile handles some stuff, it is not a transparent pass-through at all,

i.e. this entry

#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="" tvg-name="Avengers: Infinity War" tvg-logo="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/i47RBXqE2kU/0.jpg" group-title="ESTRENOS-CAM-TS",Avengers: Infinity War

if you open a networ stream on VLC, WM, etc, it plays... but, if you add the m3u in IPTV automatic, and then try to play it as MUX, Service, Channel or part of Bouquet, nothing happens, and the service.log just says, no input detected, I have tried all the default stream profiles, and some custom ones, thats why I was looking for some flag on api that create the playlist with the epg data and stream stufff for live tv, and mux info for non-compatible stuff like the on I sent.

You're confused. TVH accepts only MPEG-TS stream as the source and you're trying to feed the mp4 data. So you need to use pipe:// and let another tool to convert the source to MPEG-TS or the recent development tvh versions have 'use libav' switch in the mux / network settings. This switch will force tvh to use linked ffmpeg library for the container conversion for the given mux.

I know that, but usually providers push m3u playlist in ts format, including a lot of streams on it in diferent formats mp4, mp3, etc.. so TVH on IPTV Auto, creates mux, service, channels and channels tags related to them... and playing them is a really mess, or editing them in order to make them compatible is a real hard work...and taking care of available resources, talking about RasPi, it is better to be a provisoner instead a packet proxy and nothing to say about being transcoder...performance is limited, but we can maximize resources using alternatie paths (i.e. Cisco Call Manager and its SIP Framework formerly VOVIDA Task Force, who created SIP fighting verus h323, SCCP ,etc... the idea is deliver the service needed, no matter the way, in this context, they implemented the concept of sip full proxy when resources are available and sip proxyless when not... I am just trying to find a way to get their need met.)

Live streams, VOD streams, big mistakes that are same thing.

If they are the same, why are they not working?

Both are streams of video, both they are not handled in the same way...so whatever, I am just trying to find a way to stream them easily.

I am new on RasPi, LibreElec, KODI and TVH, I have been disabled since November because an accident, but I started working on KODI about 18 days, on TVH 1 week or less...so I respect what you all think, but I am here , Ithink as everybody ,looking for solutions...

Is it going to fetch the m3u list from tvheadend so it doesn't ask for login and password? Every time I download and run the list in VLC it asks for login and password.

You use non persistent url

http://user:pass@tvh.ip.or.dns:9981/playlist/auth/channels

in user password need to enable persistent authentication

I don't know where to attach the options yet. after completing the data, it displays a message on the 403 Forbidden page

when doing http://ip:9981/playlist it is normally downloaded but with authorization requirement

/playlist is not a folder under a webserver root directory, it's an API endpoint.
