I modified some of the python code locally to change the channel if it's passed into the stream and have it working in Plex. The m3u file lists out all of the channels generically, ie Channel 1 through 160. Then in Plex these get mapped automatically to the correct EPG data. Plex shows it all in a nice grid view with upcoming programming. You can select a channel in Plex via grid view which loads the stream defined in the m3u file (in this case, it would be http://ipaddress:port/slingbox?channel=20). This loads the slingbox stream and kicks off a thread to submit the IR signals to switch the channel. I still need to figure out how to get Plex to stop timing out on loading the stream. Maybe if I could get the slinger python app to play the correct format then the ffmpeg buffering won't be necessary and plex won't time out. |

If anyone is interested, I uploaded the sample files for Xteve that I used to integrate the Slinger software with Plex. I also included a Dockerfile which will set up a container to run both Xteve and Slinger in the same container, including all the dependencies needed. This is working on my NAS but would be curious if anyone else gets it to work correctly. It's over in my fork https://github.com/rbf121/Slinger |

I decided to run xteve in it's own docker container because I needed 2 instances of xteve to meet my needs and it just makes more sense to have different containers. I have updated the code in my fork (https://github.com/rbf121/Slinger) to include a Dockerfile that just runs GerryDazoo/Slinger latest code, v3.0.8 plus I included my samples for xteve and m3u in case anyone needs those. I also published an image on docker hub but I need to still work on the instructions there. I have this running on my NAS in host mode but I'm just wondering if anyone else can get it to work. Let me know if there are any issues. I'm currently running the following for the xteve/slinger/plex integration:

I'm having trouble getting this to work. I think I'm 99% there. I follow all the instructions and it plex seems to be connecting via FFMPEG but plex times out with the Playback error, Could not tune channel, please check your tuner or antenna. My xteve log shows the following. Any assistance is appreicated. I have xteve running natively on an Ubuntu 22 server - as is Slinger (same server). I use a unified config file for slinger with the /condo/500high address, which seems to show correctly below. The Plex server was able to build my proper TV guide. Just cannot stream. I did use the suggested FFMPEG setting: -hide_banner -loglevel error -fflags +genpts -i [URL] -c copy -bsf:v h264_metadata=sample_aspect_ratio=4/3 -f mpegts -tune zerolatency pipe:1? ubuntu log... 022/11/18 20:36:12 [xTeVe] XEPG: Ready to use |

Edit 11/30/2022: Plex Live TV integration with Slinger has been running well for me for several weeks. Find the most up to date setup instructions here: https://www.reddit.com/r/slingbox/comments/xhy710/plex_live_tv_integration_with_slingbox/
Also possible to set this up with Jellyfin using just the M3U file:
