Multiple PBS

Hi,

Is there any way to manually configure which PBS streams are grabbed with TVE? Or set it up to have more than 2 (in our market 5 wouldn't be overkill!). It automatically chooses the first two "closest" ones, but we are in the middle of a few markets and the ones that it's choosing aren't necessarily the ones we'd like.

I came across an m3u of all of the PBS stations with streams here

https://i.mjh.nz/PBS/playlist.m3u8

with guide data, but the guide data doesn't populate with the extra metadata (images, etc.). Perhaps is there a way to augment this?

Thanks very much.

I believe it's up to PBS's website as to which stations it delivers.

(In my case, I receive 3 from TVE: KOCE, KLCS, and KVCR. A fourth in my market, KCET, is not delivered by TVE; although this could be because KOCE and KCET have recently "merged" and are considered sister-stations, often simulcasting the same content.)

What guide data are you using with that playlist? You can make your own m3u playlist with the exact station stream URLs you want, then map the stations manually within Channels. That should get you all the proper data.

Guide is also in this directory.

Going to try to pull out the right ones and see if I can map manually. Thank you!

You can also map data using the station search under Manage Lineup

Perfect!! Works!
