Telly setup

[Elliot]

I have been able to setup an emulated HDHR device using both Xteve and Telly and load channels into the channels DVR server. From there I was able to map the guide data.

However, when I try and play a channel from either source, I am getting a tuner unavailable error. This is displayed a few seconds after trying to play something the first time, and any subsequent attempt to play a channel results in this error immediately.

I have tried completely disabling windows firewall, but that made no difference.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

You'll want to read this post (and probably move your question there for more attention):

Channels DVR + Xteve / Telly

Xteve is a 'proxy' that claims to make IPTV streams look like an HDHomeRun tuner on the network. I've yet to get it working, since the documentation is non-existent and between one provider for IPTV and another for XMLTV, there are a few moving parts that need to line up. I was wondering if anyone else here had tried using it with Channels DVR, and if they were successful? Paul

My experience: I've gotten Telly to work by following the instructions precisely but xteve does not (similar to your experience).

I had the same experience - see my post here:

Channels DVR + Xteve / Telly

Incidentally, I have tried xTeVe as well as telly against the same m3u sample file. I noticed that Channels DVR would import the channel lists and XML data from both, BUT only telly would allow playback of streams via the channels-dvr server from any client. I inspected the HTTP headers that xTeVe and telly provides. It appears BOTH supply and present their own URLs to Channels - and they both typically perform HTTP header redirects to the original M3U source URL. But I think telly provides …

I assume you are both in USA hence false impression telly is working, while it is not for rest of the world
