Local m3u files specification on a Synology NAS

Added by Gabriel Galand over 4 years ago

Hello,

I am trying to get an IPTV network running with TVHE on my Synology NAS DSM418Play (DSM 6.2). My problem is that my m3u list is a local one, it is stored in the /volume2/video/ folder. And I do not know how to specify it in the network definition.

The mere Linux "complete" path as the following does not work

/volume2/video/TheList.m3u8

An error message is issued in the log
iptv: unable to open http client

This suggests maybe the location should be specified with a "localhost" path ?

Does anyone know how the url field should be coded in the network definition of TVHE ?

You should specify exactly how you've configured it.

For example, to access a file at that path, the config should be:

file:///volume2/video/TheList.m3u8

Hello Hiro

In fact I tried several specifications but none of them worked.
- the one you quote
- the one I quote
- several other ones

What I am searching is the correct way to specify, the one that should work

I have totaly same problem, I tried all.
I can import m3u playlist only if I upload them some on cloud and import it through http://

Yet I will chek if TVHeadend has admin rights to directory volume1/...

Aha, it was the problem!!

It is need select properities of folder and set admin right for sc-homeassistant

After this TVHeadend can see for example path to file:

file:///volume2/video/TheList.m3u8
