    Thanks for the help here! I got it working! It works under TV as described here. strm (only mp3 links, pls doesn’t work for me) files also work under other libraries than the music library. For whatever reason… strange.

    Life would be so easy if I could simply search for radio stations in Jellyfin and save them as favorites.

    I thought this would work - and it does! Here’s how to add radio channels as Live TV:

    • From the Jellyfin homescreen menu, navigate to the Dashboard
    • Click the Dashboard menu button (three stripes at the top)
    • Go to Live TV
    • Click the first (+) button to add a new tuner device
    • Choose “M3U Tuner”
    • Select your local .m3u file or paste a URL
    • Click Save
    • Go back to the homescreen of Jellyfin
    • In the menu, click Live TV
    • Switch to the tab called Channels
    • If your .m3u file works, you can select any channel it contains from here.

    You can even add a custom logo for each channel:

    #EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,Channel 1 tvg-logo="https://link.to/logo-ch1.png"
http://liveradio.url.channel1.fake:8000/channel1-is-fake.mp3

#EXTINF:-1,RadiOmega tvg-logo="https://linking.park/logo-radiomega.png"
http://liveradio.nope.omegalive:8000/y/radiomega.mp3

    And rank them in the list by changing -1 to positive values IIRC.

      m3u playlist file in TV runrik worked for me until a few months ago. But now it doesn’t work anymore… at least for me.

      I find it really sad that Jellyfin doesn’t just offer a radio plugin. It really can’t be that difficult. It’s really stupid if you have to do all this tinkering with strm or m3u. Why just use a plugin for tunein or radiobrowser?
