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

Too many cooks.
Decide who you're going to work with.
You need to make the changes on your LOCAL DVR

No local

@chDVRuser its fine I will excuse myself, all you.

You're not going to make any changes on your Remote DVR.
The changes I talked about are for your Local DVR.

Do this

  • Create a new Custom Channel source 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

Then before saving it, post a screenshot of the new Custom source settings

If you would have followed the directions I posted earlier you would have been done long ago.

Renamed (originalstill there just in case)

Remove the right paren ) from the end of the source URL and post the screenshot again

Other sources have logo and descriptive programming info except the HD Hr source


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

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.

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.

(post deleted by author)

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.
