Help with Plex, xTeVe-vpn

by lifeisruf

I am trying to get IPTV working on Plex using xTeVe-VPN on Unraid in docker containers.

I have everything setup correctly and I’m pretty sure the issue I’m running into is because I have xTeVe behind a VPN.

I am able to pull in all of the channels into Plex and the guide is functioning correctly, but when I actually try to watch a show I get an error that the stream failed.

I had it working yesterday using the non vpn xTeVe container, but for obvious reasons I am wanting to utilize a VPN and am using xTeVe as the buffer between Plex and my IPTV subscriber for stream quality reasons.

Any help or ideas?

This should work (it's how my setup is) so it's probably an issue with how your containers are networked. Have you setup a custom docker network? Like this ?

What does the log say when you try to watch a channel? I use this same setup with no issues

Does it work if you disable the VPN?

If you try to watch a stream in VLC, is it working behind the vpn? If yes, then test the M3U URL form xTeVe and see if that works in VLC. based on the results, you can create a test to use when reconfiguring the VPN.

Would there be any way to get IPTV set up through Plex using a windows PC as the server? It would be lovely to not have to change between TiviMate and Plex when going back to my Plex media.
