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?

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.

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 managed to play some radio streams in jellyfin. It only seems to work with mp3 streams. pls and m3u don't work.

strangely it doesn't work with a music library but only with movies or books.
