The fact that Plex closed its plugin service does not necessarily mean the end of Plex IPTV watching. With a virtual tuner like xTeVe, you can disguise IPTV playlists as the regular TV channels that can be played by Plex. Thus you don’t need an IPTV plugin for Plex any longer.

About Plex and IPTV
Plex is a popular home media server-client software to stream one’s personal media collections like videos, music, and photos locally and remotely. It also supports live TV channels watching and recording. As long as there is an internet connection, users can access their media libraries anytime and anywhere.
IPTV stands for Internet Protocol Television, which serves to deliver television content over IP networks in contrast to the traditional terrestrial, satellite, and cable television formats. It also provides a lot more live TV channels (up to thousands) than the traditional methods, and at a much lower price. To watch IPTV, an IPTV player is needed to process the IPTV playlists. And users can hence access unlimited live sports events, PPV, world news, and international channels readily through the player. Currently, the most popular IPTV players are Kodi (free), Plex, and VLC (free).
Enabling IPTV for Plex used to be easy with the Plex plug-ins service in the past. But ever since the removal of that service, things became tricky. During the plugin-void time, several remedies have emerged to this, yet most workarounds are down by now. As of writing this article, there is one last workable way to fix Plex IPTV watching. Follow the instructions below to know more.
Ik heb zelf Plex en xTeVe op een Synology NAS draaien (DS716+II, fysiek geheugen 8192 MB), Plex (Pass) geïnstalleerd dmv het Synology Media Center en xTeVe in Docker (alturismo/xteve).
For now, the most reliable way to enable Plex IPTV service is through xTeVe, a free and open-source M3U proxy. It can emulate a tuner to wrap the IPTV M3U playlist as regular TV channels that can be streamed on Plex. The following information is how to make Plex M3U IPTV work through xTeVe.
Als xTeVe draait (bij mij op poort 34400 wordt de onderstaande interface getoond en doorloop daarna de getoonde stappen, vergeet vooral de “filter” stap niet want Plex kan niet meer dan 480 kanalen tonen en het filteren zorgt ervoor dat je die limiet niet overschrijdt. Doe je dat wel dan werkt xTeVe niet op Plex.
Note: If your IPTV playlist has over 480 channels, which is over the limit of Plex, you’ll be asked to filter the streams in the web interface.
Occasionally, Plex can’t detect your tuner device. Then click Enter its network address manually and enter *Your IP Address*:34400, such as 192.168.0.106:34400. Then hit CONNECT. The xTeVe tuner will appear, click on it.
