OK. Save it
Then quickly delete your other custom channel source (Tailspin?)
After the guide data finishes loading, look at the DVR web UI guide.
Then Delete and Recreate the guide database to remove the old channels from the bad source and look at the DVR web UI guide again.
Okay it's indexing (Says 5 lineups) but I have 6 sources now (down from the 7) since i deleted original as you advised
it does not seem to be picking up hd homerun channels

No dice it only sees 5 lineups when indexing not the 6 that exist but NOT HD Homerun
Thank you, anyhow
I appreciate all your help !
Look at the lineup file from the Source URL.
Highlight the full url, right click and save to file.
Then open the file in a text editor.
You should see something like this
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1 channel-id="95" tvg-id="95" tvg-chno="95" tvg-logo="https://tmsimg.fancybits.co/assets/s10161_ll_h15_ad.png?w=360&h=270" tvc-guide-stationid="10161" tvg-name="CSPAN" group-title="SD",CSPAN
http://192.168.1.4:8189/devices/1323AADB/channels/95/stream.mpg?format=ts&codec=copy
where it has tvc-guide-stationid=
that is what gets the guide data for the channels
You do still have Tailscale running on both servers?
I do have Tailscalce on both server. Highlighting that url and rick clicking does not give me the option to save
Thank you too for going the extra mile here

Do you get an option to go to it?
Then it should let you save it as a file.
After i highlight it there is no right click option to save as file
At this point if I could justget station Logo ID i'd be thrilled. Is there a way to manually insert a channel logo?
Is there an option to go to the url?
If so, do that and then save as file.
Getting late, continue tomorrow.
IDK where your graphic is from. i just know inside channels if I right click on URL there is no option to save as
TY..TBC
Bingo..FIXED !!!
I never dived into pick your provider. Ijustdid and it'spopulating
Thnak you so much for all of your help
I know HDR homerun prime has3 qamtuners. I wonder if in Channels DVR I canonly still record 3 simultaneous channels. or even 4?
AGAIN, your patience is appreciated, truly
You're welcome. Glad to hear you got it working.
I just wish HD home run recorded extreme in native MP4 instead of TS in an MPEG stream
Editing takes a bit longer because if this slight drawback
Other than that no complaints
Silly question but since the HD home run has three qam tuners I am still limited to only three strings from that source correct?
Unless channels reads it differently. I'm not sure I'll have to test it out
Everything is working 100% and without seeming repetitive thank you so much for your patience and your expertise
What I've noticed about this forum there is absolutely no hubris or ego Just knowledge and people willing to share it!
Correct. Three simultaneous streams max. One from each of the three tuners. Assuming your Internet connection and Tailscale can handle the bandwidth.
Glad to hear you’re up and running, sounds like you did exactly what I recommended in my first post by adding a provider with a zip code. There’s more than one way to skin a cat. A couple things to make note of.
-
Since the hdhr is limited to 3 streams, you can go into edit settings of the tailspin source on local dvr, under options and limit streams to 3.
-
Consider what priority you want the dvr to use this source to make recordings. I noticed in one of your screenshots you have tailspin at the very top of your source list. If you only want to use this source for a couple channels like cnn, I would suggest favoriting those channels inside the manage lineup setting of tailspin and then sliding the tailspin source to the bottom of source list priority order. This will make it so that the dvr will record from other sources first for other channels and cnn will record from tailspin. This will protect the 3 hdhr streams as best as possible from being used when there is an alternate source to record something from.
If you need more info on this, I’m sure @chDVRuser can expand better than I can on source priority and how the dvr picks what channel to record if multiples of a channel are available from different sources. Enjoy!
