Anyone an expert in m3u?

[lnx26]

I want to create a m3u or m3u8 list containing several different links from the same channel. but on the condition that if a link doesn't work, send another one that works

example:

#EXTINF: -1, | CHANNEL 1 (OPTION 1)
http: // mysite: 8789 / demo1 / erwin2020 / 19778
#EXTINF: -1, CHANNEL 1 (OPTION 2)
http: // mysite: 8789 / demo1 / erwin / erwin2020 / 5409
#EXTINF: -1, CHANNEL 1 (OPTION 3)
http: // mysite: 8789 / demo1 / erwin / erwin2020 / 5407

the player will open "OPTION 1" by default in case "OPTION 1" stops working, it will open "OPTION 2" and so on until you find a working link. Is it possible to configure them by m3u8 or is there something else to do outside of programming?

This would have to be done in the APPS configuration Not the M3U.

this thing is not possible through m3u or m3u8

Are there no other methods? I have no knowledge of programming in Java to modify my application. I am using a script there are no other ways? How to relay the signals.

Xtream Ui does this. You will need to broadcast the content though. If A fails then B kicks in. You can have endless backups in place. Also m3u is a playlist file. m3u8 can be a playlist file if coded but more often than not it is just hls format for a single stream. Where as it streams in chunks of approximately 3mb of .ts. Coding .m3u8 playlists themselves is pretty uncommon. Either way. Software such as Ui will always be required for any adaptive measures. You can not code "if fails" into a file.

Do I need that software? Where can I get it for free?

since I've been doing everything manual and it's stressful


So I can't use the iptv lists that I collect on the Internet?

Can you recommend a forum or video where I talk about the topics you are talking about, as needed? Do I need at least a semi-automatic system

If you want you can share some contact of yours to advise me. If you don't tell me everything around here. Thank you

Just to be clear yea xtream-ui "Does This"

However its not actually xtream-ui. I feel people tend to forget xtream-ui, is just a user interface (or application) to make administrating a LEMP stack and FFMPEG easier for "NON Administrators". Yes it does as a whole allow/improve/help content management but the web UI is just helping people who don't know there way around the CLI with FFMPEG, PHP, MYSQL, NGINX, LINUX, Python, etc.

You can do what you are looking to do in a NGINX conf file and FFMPEG. But as people are pointing out above "xtream-ui does this" or gives you a graphical front end user interface that makes it easy for you to configure streams and back ups or fail overs. Just Saying.

By default, a player will move to the next line if the current one is not reachable, so there's no need for complication here, just set your channels in the right order and it'll move on its own if not working.

If you were refering to adaptative bitrate (480/720/1080), this is a matter that you have to deal with on the server side.

Hello everyone, thank you for always answering my concerns, today's consultation is how I can make my clients reproduce lists where my streams vary in different quality, for example 420, 720, 1080 depending on your connection. I was reading about hls but when I play it on vlc it only gives me the highest quality and I can't get it to fix depending on the connection. Could you help me, thank you very much

That is because the stream is likely only being Broadcasted in 1080 or 720.

Maybe it doesn't explain me well, I receive my streams in full HD 1080. What I want is that when a client reproduces their list, the image varies from 1080 to 480 or 720 depending on how stable their connection is. I understand that this protocol is called HLS, that the image is adaptive and adapts depending on the scenario. I use xtreamui

HLS is adaptive in as it sends chunks across a network instead of a solid stream. It is a variable rate only in that sense. 3mb chunks of mpegts to be exact. To change resolution you would need to just broadcast in FHD, HD and SD all for the same channel. I believe transcoding can achieve this. Even FuboTV and various others stream multiple resolutions. However. I believe that it is based on the device (screen size) and not network conditions at all. Basically. Someone with say 10mbs internet speeds has no buisness trying to stream anything anyway. Best advice. Tell them to upgrade their internet to at least 40mbs for a single streaming device. Even 1gps internet is cheap now anyway. If your servers are not overloaded and yet people have issues due to their own lack of bandwidth how exactly is that your problem to solve? Think about that before you go wasting resources.
