Does anyone have any tips on how to have a good experience with IPTV? So far I’ve tried 2 (well, maybe it’s just 1) IPTV providers and the experience just kinda sucks. Most of the time I can’t get channels to load and when I do, it usually takes like 30s-40s to load the channel. I definitely can’t reasonably browse channels.
Once a channel loads, it’s usually fine.
I’m using dispatcharr + Jellyfin.
My server is plugged in via ethernet, but it does stream over wifi to my TV.
Are there any settings I could change to speed things up? Or is there some way I could auto-remove channels that don’t load? Do I need faster internet speeds? Are the only reliable channels US channels? (I’m trying to watch non-US channels.)
Dispatcharr and jellyfin is a bit flaky to load.
Probably a mix of the stream source (encoding), ffmpeg (dispatcharr) settings, Jellyfin HWA configurations, jellyfin client and jellyfin capabilities
Mine loads usually, buuuut it takes a few seconds.
Jellyfin server: Current release by linuxserver.io
Jellyfin client: Android App (phone), Android TV app
Streaming source: Some m3u for japanese IPTV
Jellyfin GPU for HWA: i5-1135G7
Load time until a picture is shown: About 5-15 seconds.
Edit: If you’d like (DM me), I can send you a bit about my dispatcharr/Jellyfin config.
