Creating / finding link to m3u for Emby

Hello! I have a functional Tvheadend setup right now, and I can succesfully watch live tv using the web ui. I'm super excited I have made it this far.

Now I would like to connect Tvheadend to emby. I have tried the plugin and am not sure what to do to make it work, so for now I am attempting to use the method of giving emby an m3u file instead. So far I have tried giving emby http://localhost:9981/playlist and http://192.168.1.7:9981/playlist but each time I get an error. Are these the proper addresses to get an m3u, or is there a better way to get one for emby.

ALternatively, how can I make the plugin work?

Thanks so much for any help!

See what say

curl http://localhost:9981/playlist/channels

Most probably you need to add user and password to URL,
or make user "*" with password "*" wit acces from localhost,127.0.0.1
and your lan network 192.168.1.0/24

This is the output of the curl command:

&lt;!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"&gt;
   &lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;
   &lt;TITLE&gt;401 Unauthorized&lt;/TITLE&gt;
   &lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;
   &lt;H1&gt;401 Unauthorized&lt;/H1&gt;
   &lt;P STYLE="text-align: center; margin: 2em"&gt;&lt;A HREF="/" STYLE="border: 1px solid; border-radius: 4px; padding: .6em"&gt;Default login&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P STYLE="text-align: center; margin: 2em"&gt;&lt;A HREF="/login" STYLE="border: 1px solid; border-radius: 4px; padding: .6em"&gt;New login&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;

Adding my username and password like so causes the curl command to give me a list of my channels instead of unauthorized.
http://USERNAME:PASSWORD192.168.1.X:9981/playlist/channels.m3u

Still though, Emby does not accept this url. This may be a question better suited for an emby forum, but any idea how to make emby say something other than "there was an error saving the tv provider"?

thanks!

Url must be:

http://USERNAME:[email protected]:9981/playlist/channels

If you use it only in your lan disable digest authentication.
