Smart IPTV .m3u url ?

Arnaud C

Hi, I'm trying to setup a dynamic link between tvheadend and Smart IPTV.

Manually things are working, but require a namechange.

When visiting /playlist I get a file named channels, without extension.
This file is not accepted by https://siptv.app/

Only after renaming channels to channels.m3u I can successfully upload it.

Instead of this manual process, each time after I added or removed a channel, I would like to just load the playlist url to https://siptv.app/ http://192.168.1.100:9981/playlist does however not present a channellist on the TV.
http://192.168.11.100:9981/playlist.m3u does not exist

Is there an option to create a rewrite for this file, add a link, or maybe just rename the url?

For the moment my workaround is to use an additional intranet webserver.
Crontab runs hourly the following command on this server:

wget http://192.168.11.100:9981/playlist -qO playlist.m3u

This file is now accessible via http://192.168.11.8/playlist.m3u (this is my local webserver)
This url I loaded in https://siptv.eu/mylist/

My tv picks up the various channels from my tvheadend channellist now.

It would be nicer to do this on the tvheadend server, without the need for an additional server.
Applologies if this has been asked and answered already. I could however find similar questions, but no answers.

Or is there another way to link my Smart IPTV app on the tv to my tvheadend?

Thanks,
Arnaud

I found that channels.m3u is available through the following url:
http://192.168.11.100:9981/playlist/channels.m3u

Not sure where it is failing, but my TV is not picking up the channel-list in Smart IPTV when using this method, so for the time being I keep my workaround solution of running an additional server.

UPDATE:
Changing the http listening port from 9981 to 80 fixed the problem.
I can upload http://192.168.11.100/playlist/channels.m3u to the Smart IPTV portal.
My TV app is now able to pull tje channel-list from my tvheadend server directly.
Maybe it's a problem of the Samsung TV, that it does not want to load a channellist over port 9981.
The streams itself worked fine.
This requires more anlysis, maybe using tcpdump or some other traffic-analyzer.
