Create M3U8 Playlist

leo

Hi guys
Its a pleasure for me to be the newest member of this forum.
Today i installed successfully the TVheadend verion 4.3-2375_g653bd0400 in ubuntu 20.04.

My goal is to create *.M3U8 playlist from my scanned channels. I have more than 4 hours looking in forum but i am not able to find the way how to do it.

Please can someone help me ?

Regards
Leo

As new member this manual looks very difficult for me, is anything a little bit easy ?

I think you mean m3u playlist? M3u8 is a HLS manifest for a single stream.

You can get all of your TVHeadend channels in a m3u playlist at the “/playlist” endpoint, like so:

TVHeadend does not output m3u8 (HLS) streams. It outputs MPEGTS streams.

Wowza can take MPEGTS input. https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-publish-and-play-a-live-stream-mpeg-ts-based-encoder

Tony Wagner I was able to send MPEGTS to Wowza and is working very good. Thanks Tony 🙂
