Use Channels-DVR as a tuner for Emby

I have never setup a collection in EMBY what I do is send everything to EMBY then disable the Channels I do not want.

Please look @ post 198 from Edwin and tell us what you see

Kanipek, I did in post 199.

@daldana7296 It is much simpler to do it this way - and you can even adjust the channel order if you need to.

I can get all of the espn channels in the guide, but they don't broadcast on all of the channels so I would end up with a bunch of blank channels. If I unclick those, then when they do broadcast, I would miss those events. So using the Automatic channels options in Collections, it only shows the channels that are broadcasting.

I must be missing something in your question Edwin. I'm in the Settings page of my CDVR server and I click on Edit Settings, is that not the correct spot?

Go to ChannelS DVR look for ESPN+ on the tuners section click on the number of channels ... then at the very top you should see a name in Parentheses. Let me know what that is.

Ah, there it is.

It shows M3U-ESPN, so it doesn't have the + sign after. When I change that in the url you sent, I get the m3u8 file with all of the espn+ channels.

I don't think Emby will do what you want. Unless you set the refresh guide to every hour or possibly three hours.
It isn't dynamic - the channels available in Emby won't change without a guide update.
@Edwin_Perez Right?

#216

Correct when I did Pluto I had to refresh the guide every 3 hours.

Yes that is what I have set also.

#218

Yes, I have Pluto refreshing every three hours as well. I was planning on doing the same for ESPN if I can get the collection set up in Emby.

I do a similar thing, but I use ANY as the device name (Channels DVR filters duplicates out) and =Favorites for the filter. This limits my Jellyfin channels to only my Channels DVR favorite channels. This works well enough for me.

Did you end up getting itsetup the way you wanted?

Guess so I wished when somebody has a problem and the forum users' chip in that they would give final feedback.

Sorry was very busy with family over the two days with the Thanksgiving holiday.

Can't get collection set up as a tuner yet, but the ESPN+ channels are coming in fine. Thanks for your help.

Do you mind pasting your URL to filter for favorites? I can't quite get mine right.
