How to get Channel recordings to plex library

Channels DVR Server
#1

See update

Has anyone been able to get channels DVR recordings to show up in plex properly? I have tried sharing the recording folder ( where channels record to and the plex library) I have also created a new folder for channels and added it to plex library. The shows don’t just pop up in plex like they should. Most of the time all the shows show up under one folder with all the wrong information. Meaning every show I recorded that evening show up under one show folder all with scrambled seasons and incorrect

Update; Issue has been resolved

I have a good enough solution with GitHub - denniswebb/PlexChannelsDVR: Plex library scraper and agent for integrating you ChannelsDVR recordings into Plex

I never polished it up for other people to use. Basically it is a custom scanner and metadata tool for plex that will query show information directly from your channels server.

If you try it and have issues or requests, i can dedicate some time to help and make better. I need to revisit anyway since plex finally released a public api document.

This is another option: GitHub - Channels-DVR-Goodies/DVR2Plex: Put a file recorded by a DVR in the right place in a Plex hierarchy, with a Plex-friendly name.
