How can I use channels in my remote Plex server inside my Channels DVR Server?

Remove the XMLTV Guide Data url
Save it
Delete and Recreate the Guide Database on your local DVR

Will try in a little bit. Thank you !

IT WORKED IMMEDIATELY before I could even delete and recreate

Thank you and all of you for helping
Hope one day i canpay it forward!

Thank you again !

Now lastly any way to get logos? LOL

I don’t know if you did it on purpose but the source url is wrong for just importing the hdhr prime. The url you are using is to grab all the channels from the remote server. That is why you show the 400+ channels instead of the 300s. If you want to just add the hdhr channels you need to revisit @chDVRuser post with creating the source.

Now praying Verizondoesn't end CableCard support for awhile ! Maybe caving andgrandfathering folksin

Still, Happy !!!!

Change the settings to Prefer channel logos from M3U

And when you're all done messing around with settings, Delete and Recreate the Guide Database.

On Remote or local Channels DVR?

And he's using an HLS playlist w/specified bitrate instead of an MPEG-TS playlist.
Might result in errors playing channels unless he changes the Stream Format to HLS or changes the playlist url.

Oh well, you can lead a horse to water...

Local

No logos

Did you?

Post a screenshot of your settings now, you're still showing placeholder guide data

And copy this url from your settings

paste it as a url in a browser tab, then save the result as a file, open it in a text editor and copy/paste the first four lines here

OKay, I'm going daffy. I removed the xml string and saved it and recreated the database and the xml guide datareturned.

Am I imagining things?

I have two weeks of data but can't get Channel logo

No big deal but nice to have

Thank you everyone

It's a long standing bug!

Create a new Custom Channel with a different name
copy/paste the Source URL into it
Set the Option to Prefer channel logos from M3U
Leave the XMLTV Guide Data url blank
Save it

Delete your current custom channel source (Tailspin?)

After the guide data finishes loading, look at the DVR web UI guide.

And use the corrrect url when you re make the source

Source url:

http://100.xxx.x.xxx:8089/devices/132489B0/channels.m3u?format=ts&codec=copy

Insert your actual Tailscale ip to your remote dvr machine

I will try that. Might that give me logos NAD perhaps program names instead of channel namesingrid?

If not, can I add logos manually?

Thank you again !

It’s that way because you currently do not have any guide data

Try it and let us know. It should work and give you logos.

And after making changes to a source, delete and recreate the guide database.

So create a new source on the remote with ( http://100.xxx.x.xxx:8089/devices/132489B0/channels.m3u?format=ts&codec=copy) in the url

And on the xml on the remote do what?

Leave the local here alone?

I'm slowly learning thi!
