Anyone Using FABIPTV with Plex?

by daz1uk

Hi,

I am and it's currently not behaving. Streams are constantly dropping out. Anyone experienced fabiptv with plex and had a good experience?

Which IPTV plugin do you use? I have tried the FABIPTV plugina and Cigaras IPTV with similar results.

I've trimmed down the .m3u8 file in an attempt to make it easier for plex to process and also changed all the links in the file from .ts to .m3u, no joy with this so far.

Is this the provider or the plugin in your opinion?

Thanks.

Yeah, I can't stream to Android devices at all. I'm trying to get something to a 1st Gen Sony Android TV.

Unfortunately the provider is more or less just a reseller using xstream-codes as their backend. Because of this, Fab (and other providers using the same xstream-codes setup) struggle with compatibility issues all over the place.

XC has been promising us some big updates in the next release of their software, but we have yet to see this happen.

Realistically, at this point, there's nothing that Fab or any other Xstream reseller will be able to do to help you.

Until these resellers actually start running servers of their own, they are at the mercy of the Xstream-codes team(who they rent the servers from) which have proven to be VERY slow to address updates.

This doesn't apply to just Fab though, Epic (one of my favorite providers!) struggle from similar issues.

For my clients right now, I advise to avoid xstream codes and look for alternatives.

Your other option is to just have Fab set you up as a stalker client.
