Guide: Plex IPTV: Watch IPTV on Plex using xTeVe or TellyTv

by htpcbeginner

Hey Guys,

I just published a guide on how to watch IPTV on Plex using xTeVe and TellyTv. I thought I will share this with you all.

Plex IPTV Guide: 2020 Working method to watch IPTV on Plex

If you have any comments or questions, please do not hesitate to share. Thanks!

I redo the guide with Xteve as your title claims. It's under active development while telly is not. Nicely written though.

You need to create a bridge network called vpn. Also, you can use any other vpn provider if you have, like; winscribe, nordvpn, all you have to do is replace the pia image.

Nice work. I thought of writing a howto on a setup I just finished building with Plex and Tvheadend with xteve, but not many people have IPTV+ATSC OTA with 24 tuners and 4 antennas pointed at 4 different cities and gigabit fiber uplinks.

Great guide and work. If you like I can share my xteve docker-compose file that has PIA VPN configured, let me know. I configured xteve behind vpn, and enabled buffering so xteve will do the work for plex.

Another thing: you havent mentioned how to map plex categories (news, sports, series, movies) to the channels. Is very helpful to map those categories because after that plex, emby, jellyfin will shows the correct metadata to the channels.

That's awesome. I was just searching how to use PLEX with IPTV and it looked really confusing . Hopefully your guide will solve few mysteries to the general public.

This is my current set up. Recording works without any issues. Once you have it setup, its pretty much set it and forget it.

But this only allows the admin account to watch IPTV on a Plex server. Other family members connecting to your Plex server with their own account can not see anything.

Thanks for this. And if the site is yours, thanks for that. Looking forward to digging in this weekend!

Can you do this on a Nvidia Shield Android TV?

Use this guide to setup xTeVe for my plex (both running in Unraid Dockers). It works great about half the time, the other half the time i keep getting video loops (10 secs of the tv show will loop a few times and then continue on). Anyone experience this? Seems like it's a plex issue with how its buffering and sending the stream to the end device.

So I need to pay for Plex Pass right? Or it's not necessary? That's the only requirement that must be paid alongside free Plex account and free xTeve?

P.S. Can I watch TV on Android TV Plex as well? I see that people only show Plex in Browser.

Yeah I got rid of my Plex pass the immediate moment Plex dropped IPTV and plug in support and high tailed it to emby . No idea why Plex stopped it because I was a member for ten years plus. I guess some companies make bad business decisions.
