I remember looking at MovieNight in the past, but I never deployed it so I can't speak to whether it will work for you or not.

Jellyfin supports "Watch parties" which I've used for movie nights in the past. It works well enough.

But if you want this going real-time and continuously it sounds like you want more of an RTMP stream setup. I recommend MovieNight[0] but you can handle it natively in Nginx I think. Then it's just a matter of setting up OBS[1] or something similar to stream to it and you can do whatever you want.

You could always host your own, and forward the M3U through an RTMP server https://github.com/zorchenhimer/MovieNight
