Xteve - Users with individual access to M3U Lists

by pdizzl3

Good day,

I have been using Xteve as a proxy to stream some channels that I host for my friends. These channels are local to my region and are free-to-air. I have the encoders etc and use the proxy so that I don't end up with bandwidth bottlenecks. This system works great, no issues what-so-ever.

My friends also use IPTV subscriptions for access to channels that are not available on the proxy. We sometimes encounter issues with buffering and we'll like to try using Xteve as a proxy to circumvent this as it works well for the local channels. The challenge is that if we load one M3U list into Xteve we'll all have to share it and that is not practical or fair to our sub provider as there are limits to the # of streams.

The concept is such that I want to load 10 subs (A, B, C, D..) as playlists, one for each friend and when Person A logons on they can only access the playlist for sub A.

Is this possible?

My thought is that would require multiple instances. I’ve done this at home and in the cloud. Interested in me hosting each for you? $5 each per month gets each person their own private xteve.

Also. I don’t think xteve will eliminate the buffering. That is likely service related.

Thanks for the response.

I considered the instance approach myself but I'll need to do some scripting to get it to work effectively. Wrt hosting, I have my own server thanks for the offer.

It is entirely possible that the issue emanates at the source. I was hoping to use Xteve's built in buffer to help as well as reducing the latency between my location and the US servers. I'm in the southern hemisphere
