Yea I just installed it on a jail and it has been working without any issues
Hi Jorge, yesterday I bought one IPTV subscription for 2 devices, for me xteve work fine for 1 device with nobuffer selected in settings but only buffer option can get me 2 devices play at same time. Unfortunately vlc and ffmpeg options dont work for me, they are install and vlc modified to work in root but not working. it work at your side?
Hi jorge12355,
I am having difficulty getting the xTeVe binary working within a jail. Could you give a general overview of how you done this?
I am running the latest stable release of TrueNAS. I have created a blank jail and try to point it to the xTeVe binary but it continually specify that the pathway does not exist? I have been running the Plex within a jail with no issues for a couple of years and I would like to add my IPTV to this as I have a Plex Pass. However, I cannot seem to find an easy guide on how to install xTeVe within a jail.
Your help is appreciated,
WhiskyG

one does your provider support more than one connection? Second, when you select the buffer option set it to 0.5 MB also the good thing about buffer is that you can play the same channel on other devices and it counts as one connection for your provider. Now in order to get VLC to work, I installed it pkg vlc install. Then you have to find the path where the vlc application is and insert it in your setting in xteve /usr/local/bin/vlc.
I have my xteve running as a user not root, so you have to give that user permissions to that vlc location. I hope this awnsers your questions.

To combine M3u files you can use a website called M3u4u.com or https://epg.best/login
Thanks for pointing me to this, however, I am obviously being stupid here and missing something real easy. I have looked at these steps before. I have a jail up and running, I have the binary downloaded and saved in a main directory on the server. When I use the command "cd /path/to/xteve/folder/" (changing this to the folder where I have saved the binary.). It gives me an error saying "no such file or directory"....

And the solution is ...?
Hi,
Thank you so much for your answer, I'm in hard work time during this period sorry for my too late replay.
I'm agree with you when you talk you running as no root user, my logs show problems about root user I used when I begin xteve.
Now I take the time to make it work, and I try to install xteve with no root user, where I have problem when trying to start xteve message say
Code:
root@xteve-server:/etc/rc.d # service xteve start starting xteve... root@xteve-server:/etc/rc.d # /home/xteve/xteve: Permission
I thing you had do something at user creation I don't understood right now.
To have better visibility and not long explanation I will recreate new jail and past my raw step-by-step installation of xteve, probably you will see something I don't saw or don't know yet.
Code:
pkg upgrade #Upgrade jail pkg install wget vlc nano #Install some dependences adduser -s xteve #Add new user
here the resultat user create( be carful here because I fell my problem is somewhere here )
Code:
root@xteve-server:~# adduser -s xteve
Username: xteve
Full name:
Uid (Leave empty for default):
Login group [xteve]:
Login group is xteve. Invite xteve into other groups? []:
Login class [default]:
adduser: INFO: The shell () does not exist or is not executable.
usage: basename string [suffix]
basename [-a] [-s suffix] string [...]
Shell (sh csh tcsh nologin) []:
Home directory [/home/xteve]:
Home directory permissions (Leave empty for default):
Use password-based authentication? [yes]: no
Lock out the account after creation? [no]:
Username : xteve
Password : <disabled>
Full Name :
Uid : 1001
Class :
Groups : xteve
Home : /home/xteve
Home Mode :
Shell :
Locked : no
OK? (yes/no): yes
adduser: INFO: Successfully added (xteve) to the user database.
Add another user? (yes/no): no
Goodbye!
Now I enter in xteve user
Code:
root@xteve-server:~ # su xteve #Login in xteve user $ cd ~ #Go to home of xteve user $ ls -la #Proof of where I'm total 45 drwxr-xr-x 2 xteve xteve 10 Jan 28 18:13 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 3 Jan 28 18:13 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 xteve xteve 1055 Jan 28 18:13 .cshrc -rw-r--r-- 1 xteve xteve 392 Jan 28 18:13 .login -rw-r--r-- 1 xteve xteve 163 Jan 28 18:13 .login_conf -rw------- 1 xteve xteve 379 Jan 28 18:13 .mail_aliases -rw-r--r-- 1 xteve xteve 336 Jan 28 18:13 .mailrc -rw-r--r-- 1 xteve xteve 952 Jan 28 18:13 .profile -rw------- 1 xteve xteve 281 Jan 28 18:13 .rhosts -rw-r--r-- 1 xteve xteve 851 Jan 28 18:13 .shrc

Sorry to be daft here but for some reason I cannot wget https://github.com/xteve-project/xTeVe-Downloads/blob/master/xteve_freebsd_amd64.zip?raw=true
I get "no match"....
I've set up a new jail, updated and upgraded pkg, then installed wget but I can't download the binary. Could someone suggest where I'm going wrong here, it's driving me nuts?
Thanks!

It appears that the last bit "?raw=true" is the sticking point, not sure why it is there but it doesn't work with wget as is.
Code:
# wget https://github.com/xteve-project/xTeVe-Downloads/blob/master/xteve_freebsd_amd64.zip?raw=true wget: No match. # wget https://github.com/xteve-project/xTeVe-Downloads/blob/master/xteve_freebsd_amd64.zip --2021-04-17 05:54:16-- https://github.com/xteve-project/xTeVe-Downloads/blob/master/xteve_freebsd_amd64.zip Resolving github.com (github.com)... 140.82.112.3 Connecting to github.com (github.com)|140.82.112.3|:443... connected.

Whether to do as suggested and initiate as
wget --no-check-certificate is up to you, there might be another way but other times I've done the *potentially* dangerous --no-check-certificate when I've had to grab a tarball, especially when its a bleeding edge version not in FreeBSD ports.

There is a single question mark in your download URL. This leads to the shell, not wget complaining with "no match", because a question mark is a shell wildcard representing a single character.
You should get into the habit of always putting single quotes (') around URLs when downloading on the command line.

So for extra clarification, wget is passing along the message it received from the shell due to that question mark in the url, correct?
I am also very bad at enclosing urls with single quotes, I could probably create an alias for wget which would cure that for me.

If you enter any command on the command line, it is read and interpreted by the shell. The shell sees a single question mark, tries to match the entire string to a local file name, doesn't find any, and complains with "no match". Wget isn't even executed.
Second, what's so hard about typing
