Create your own 24/7 channel?

by Rhoop206

Does anyone know how to create my own 24/7 channel for a TV Show that I have all of the episodes in my cloud? I’d love to somehow create this “channel” and then add it to my master M3U list.

Thanks in advance for any help or guidance!

Need streaming software and a pc / sever running 24/7. There’s software for Plex that does this called disquez or something

Here's what I do (I have 7 channels I do this way):

Install icecast and ffmpeg.

Create a file with every episodes full path+file name.. so

file '/home/you/video/file1.mkv'

file '/home/you/video/file2.mkv'

And so on.. there's ways to automate this process but I'm doing this on my phone and am admittedly too lazy to grab the script I use. Since you're only doing one show, manually is fine. Save it as yourshow.txt

Thats the creation part, but you still need to run it. You'll run ffmpeg and remux on-the-fly to the icecast server using your file above as your source, and your input format is concat.. so this..

nohup ffmpeg -re -y -safe 0 -stream_loop -1 -f concat -i /folder/yourshow.txt -map 0:a? -map 0:v? -map 0:s? -strict -2 -dn -c copy -f mpegts icecast://source: passwordtoicecast@ip.of.the.icecast :8000/yourshow.ts &

And now you have a 24/7 running. On your iptv player, you can add .m3u after .ts (so /yourshow.ts.m3u) and it'll import it into your iptv player.

As others have said, you'll need to leave the computer on 24/7, but it'll act exactly like a real 24/7 to anyone that views it.

Note: the instructions are assuming a Linux based server. It can be done on windows, but you'll probably need to make a few changes for it to work.

Easiest way possible is pay for a plex share with tv shows you like and put it on shuffle.

OBS+ VLC+ Youtube, would do the job, but after a while the copyright team will mess you up!!!

Also, add to google drive and share the link with others, there are ways to make them playable from drive too
