Virtual Channels won't work in Web

It does let you select video groups for a Virtual Channel, just like selecting them for a Library Collection you need to scroll all the way down past all your TV Shows and Movies to find the Video groups.

I just created a Virtual Channel with some video groups, but can't figure out how to play the channel from the web UI (guess you can't).

Virtual Channel playback is a client only feature.

Thanks, that explains the errors in the log.

Did it give you the option to play it back in web? It shouldn’t have even done that. :thinking:

My Virtual Channels are showing up on the web, under the main Custom Channel I use...

When clicking on the airing to get the Watch button, it should not show. Can you provide a screenshot?

They certainly show up, but I didn't try to watch. I will try in a moment.
edit.
They show up with no option to play.

Yes they show, but you can't watch.

Correct. Not sure how @chDVRuser was able to get as far as he did?

Live TV > On Now and Filter to Virtual Channel

I have 5 virtual channels and one of them has the play option, using the location you posted, the other 4 do not.
