Use Channels-DVR as a tuner for Emby

Maybe post in EMBY forum about the behavior. I got used to shutting the stream down gracefully.

After not getting anywhere last time we posted, I tried it your way and it works great. Only issue is that I can't pull any of pacific channels in using DirecTV guide or Dish Guide. But thats ok since I mostly watch the recordings the west coast feed does not mater. Only issue is The Emby server does not properly disconnect unless you gradually close the app using the back button. I normally use the home button on the Fire TV remote to disconnect from Channels DVR but the behavior is not the Same with the Emby Server. Recordings do disconnect when they are complete.

Yeah EMBY really needs to fix this ... I saw your post in EMBY forum do not hold your breath awaiting a fix ... I am still waiting on EDL support lol.

You can try this lineup for the west coast feeds:

Zip: 90001	Compton, US	Charter Spectrum - Digital   CableDigital

What are you doing for your logos. The ones that are black need to be replaced. Is there another way to get them brighter or reversed. I had to use photoshop to get them reversed but are really small for Emby Guide.

See here for accessing different versions of the logos.

Look at my post here.

Why not pull the TVE guide data from Channels DVR and use it in emby ?

Similar to this ... Change TVE-Comcast_SSO to your provider.

Because the season/episode does not parse like you said in earlier post. But mike suggestion worked. I just thought that the guide from the Compton would give the time from the west and not central.

Edwin_Perez · February 1, 2021, 6:20pm

Yeah forgot that lol .. I am trying to get past that 500 limit. Creating M3U for OTA, Cable etc ... Didn't' realize that on my 2nd ChannelsDVR I was missing some channels.

tmm1 · February 1, 2021, 6:24pm

I'll remove the limit when using m3u from a second DVR.

Someone should open a thread on Emby forum re: support for <episode-num system="onscreen">

Is anybody seeing an issue with Emby Guide not showing Channel DVR channel numbers in the Browser UI guide. They show in the Fire TV Emby App.
Chrome Browser

TV Screen (Fire TV Emby App)

Edwin_Perez · February 2, 2021, 2:33am

I do not remember ever having the channel numbers in the web ui.

kennyb3653 · February 2, 2021, 2:37am

It did. It showed the call letters followed by the channel number example "WBRCDT 6.1"
The channel number displayed under the Channel Icons.

kennyb3653 · February 2, 2021, 2:51am

This is what I hope channels can do with their guide. I don't need pip, This is what I've been wishing for with Channels DVR. Guide over current live channel is how channel surfing should be.

kennyb3653 · February 2, 2021, 3:14am

Anyone have ad detection or something for ad removal in Emby Server.

john9527 · February 2, 2021, 3:40am

Is that a real screen shot from Emby? What client?
That would definitely make me give it a try. Sorry to say, but the Channels DVR client is just lacking
Right now, I spend most of my time in Android TV Live Channels using PVR Live.

Edwin_Perez · February 2, 2021, 3:43am

Emby does not support EDL skipping... We have asked for this for over a year.
