I am having an issue with setting up a virtual channel. The guide does not show any episodes, and shows error 80. The episodes have been added using STRM files so not sure if that’s the issue or not but the sample is showing 0 durations:
Virtual Channels don't work with STRM files, the videos need to be local as knowing the exact duration of the content is critical when building out a virtual channel's EPG and making it all work.
I had a play as it has been working with other titles. If I change the match from Gracenote to TMDB it works, I assume for these titles it’s picking up from the duration in the metadata?
weird, we'll have to take a look at it.
Regardless, you're going to have iffy results since your URL's file will probably not match the duration set in the metadata.
Especially if it's a TV show, as duration in the metadata would usually be set to the broadcast length, IE, 30 mins. And if it's void of commercials, it will be more along the lines of 24 minutes.
I’ve checked a couple of titles on TMDB and the run times are without commercials. The files might still be different lengths though - so the point is still relevant. I’ll see how I get on with it, not noticed anything iffy so far. Thanks
