This is just a very very quick and basic overview on how to setup the viewing of IPTV m3u streams in Plex using Dispatacharr.
Plex will require one to have a Plex Pass to be able to use the DVR/Tuner functions! Dispatcharr is free and IPTV services
you will need to find yourself too.

This example will use Windows 11 Pro as the operating system for the server/host computer (aka referenced as: server in guide)

1. Setup and install Windows 11 OS on machine if not already. 
2. Download and install Plex server.  Def recommend installing to an SSD to help w/performance and caching of thumbnails, etc.
3. Downoad and install Docker for Desktop.  We will use Docker for Desktop to run Dispatacharr via a compose file.
4. Setup Plex.  Go through server installer and then once done, login and setup libraries.

::  Extract main audio track as AC3 for mkvtoolnix adding
::  Opens mvktoolnix with original mkv file to then add ac3 manually
::  Recommended: create Scripts folder in your user folder and then copy MKVToolnix portable there
::  This will retain all original video/audio/subtitle streams and make ac3 versions of 
::  all audiostreams in mka form and then open mkvtoolnix with said files to then multiplex.

:: move ffmpmeg to c:\windows\system32
:: -vf "crop=trunc(iw/2)*2:trunc(ih/2)*2" command added to avoid errors with cropping
:: this will retain all prev audio streams and just add a new ac3 stream (converts first audio stream to ac3)
:: 
:: THIS does take a LONG TIME and would not recommend this method, use my extract audio as ac3 for fastest way!
:: Also my mapping may be messed up on this one too, def test on test files first!

:: This is just a note for myself on some common ffmpeg commands i use for scripting.
:: Used in my .cmd/.bat script files on mkv files. 
:: change %~1 to a proper variable, otherwise you can add commands to a batch file and then drag files to file to run!
:: add this to top of batch files!!:

::Convert original audio streams to AAC 6 Channel, retains original video and subtitles streams

:: Examples of converting mov to mp4 via ffmpeg 

:: near lossless (visually)
ffmpeg -i input.mov -crf 18 output.mp4

:: lossless (huge file sizes)
ffmpeg -i input.mov -crf 0 output.mp4

:: compatibility (possible washout of colors though!)
ffmpeg -i input.mov -crf 18 -vf format=yuv420p output.mp4
