How do I add an IPTV .m3u stream with a username and password?

The m3u list is accessible like this (example only) https://hello:there@example.com/tv.m3u

So it has a username and password of 'hello' and 'there'.

If I enter the URL in a browser, the m3u gets downloaded. But if I enter the same thing in Jellyfin Live TV Tuner Devices setup as a new M3U Tuner, it returns with an error: "There was an error saving the TV provider. Please ensure it is accessible and try again."

Any help to add it would be greatly appreciated.

I would figure this works. How did you install Jellyfin?

Docker container running on a Synology. Version 10.8.10.

A stream without username/password (e.g. those in https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv) work just fine. Just this stream I encountered that contains a username/password doesn't. And like I stated in OP the stream itself probably isn't the problem, as KODI can play and list all the channels within just fine.

I prefer to use Jellyfin because it transcodes even these live TV streams for my mobile devices when reception isn't that good.
