#Emby server using nextpvr install
Okay thanks for all the help you guys.Up and running!!! Since I was having problems getting my Nvidia Shield to accept the XML EPG I decided to get out my old Windows laptop and install an Emby server. P.S I going to wait overnight to see if that guide populates in my current setup. Why is it available in Plugins if not good to use? I have an old windows laptop I think I'm going to install emby and try different configurations with IPTV only no HDHomerun.I can always watch that on it's own platform.Thanks
#Emby server using nextpvr pro
It appears from what I'm seeing is that some are pro NPVR and some are not. Yeah, I'll probably try something else as opposed to mapping each channel.I went in there and just clicked on Map my channels but that is all I did.īTW do you use NextPVR? If Emby does not work with my setup would NPVR possibly work? Do you have to uninstall Emby DVR some kind of way before using it? I think I read that in another thread.
#Emby server using nextpvr how to
It might be worth trying if possible with a subset of your channels, if there's any way to pick out a few, like say 20, but am not sure how to do that.Īgain, just guessing, maybe its busy in the background updating the guide (if you're lucky). Obviously you don't want to that for all those channels if you can avoid it.

I have an old picture which looks something like this (though as mentioned, I do my far more limited iptv stuff in NextPVR). Don't know if thats necessary for you or if you've tried that already. If not you have to map each channel to its guide entry manually. Normally if you get the channels and the guide from the same provider it should be OK and Emby should match each channel to its guide info. If I'd been trying all day I think I'd be a lot frustratedĪgain, not an expert, bear that in mind, I do talk rubbish with complete conviction sometimes, but anyway, generally Emby works well but I don't think its really set up yet for thousands of channels. This is why I added the NextPVR plugin thinking it would give me the ability to add my iptv epg and give me the option to record iptv. My other source from HDHomerun is fine with recording using Emby Guide data. No data or description so I'm assuming no record option for that reason. I see no option to add the IPTV EPG file when setting iptv as tv source. Emby imports all the iptv channels, but have no descriptions or guide data (only channel icon) and No option to record (only play) when a channel is selected. I brought in Emby so I could schedule Recordings from the IPTV service within Emby.Įmby has my HDHomerun as a TV source and also my IPTV Tuner as a tv source. I watch using their built in player, but the recording system of that service is lame and does not allow scheduling or series recording. In addition I have IPTV service that also supplies M3U file and EPG file. This is fine for the few ota stations I receive. The HDHomerun sends out my ota signals wirelessly to my Nividia Shield and my Firesticks. I have an HDHomerun Quatro for OTA signals. And I have a couple of firesticks around the house. I have a Nvidia Shield with external storage. If you have a Windows machine available you could install it on there, get it running, assuming you have a tuner and then use the plugin in Emby to allow the NextPVR program to communicate with Emby.īoth.

Nextpvr is a program for playing live tv, so you need the NextPVR program installed but unfortunately its a Windows only program (for now).
