Sorry if this is a duplicate. Searched and been through forums and can't find this request. Have recently moved from another media platform and the biggest difference is the built in ad/commercial skipping capability. While watching live TV that is being recorded (watch from beginning) wound be great if the skip functions worked in that scenario. Have the ad / commercial skipping built-in for recorded shows, processing post recording. Sorry again if is a dupe.

Newbie to Emby and enjoying great work Emby team. So sorry not sure if this is a feature request or an issue. When I record live TV and then "watch from beginning" the skip forward button doesn't work on either Android or Samsung TVs. Emby Latest Beta Build Synology - DSM 7.2 Region - Australia Have also noticed that sometimes there is a 'watch from beginning' and sometimes there is not in the menu items when selected also. Any help is appreciated...

Hi All, I am part of the team that provides the XML guide service @ XMLTV.net. Recently just started using Emby and the guide looks to work well. If there are any issues or requests please send post on the site or DM me. Please also be aware that we are limited by the source data we provide and Australian freeview channels are notorious for not providing repeat or episode data.

so my iptv provider provides me with 1 connection , if i add it to emby and 3 people in the house are watching it does that count as 1 connection or 3? anyone know? Thanks Michael

Salve inserendo una lista iptv quando vado a inserire gli epg su molti canali TV non mi da il nome del programma ma il nome dell'episodio e quindi se vado a registrare una serie non riesco a metterla insieme. Vi allego uno screen di discovery channel dove esce il nome della puntata ma non quello della serie. Uso questi epg http://www.epgitalia.tv/gzip

I'm setting up live TV through NextPVR and I cannot get Emby Guide Data to accept my UK postcode (format: AA99AA). I'm a premiere member, so from what I've read in other posts, it should work? Is it perhaps a syntax parsing issue? I've seen that before with developers from other countries implementing postcode parsing. E.G. some postcodes are AA999AA, and often there is a space included eg: NG32 3ND. Alas, there's no tooltips to help to indicate what the program is expecting in terms of formatting.

Will the live tv guide at some point have the additional details such as HD, Live, New, Repeat and show if a program has been set to record? The example given here is from Windows but it's also on android and Roku etc. Currently on apple tv the guide does not show them. Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Apple Tv 4k 3rd Gen tvOS 17.0 (21J354) Emby Beta App Version 1.7.9 (2) When trying to change the pre or post record time settings the change is not accepted. embyserver.txt

Start a program from the guide directly using the play/pause button on the apple remote (instead of using the select button, viewing details and then selecting play etc) then go back to the guide. You can navigate around the programs on the guide but can't use the select button to open the program details - you can only play using the play/pause button.

Hi No matter what setting I select....'Fast'....'Normal' or 'slow', the live TV stream pauses after an initial five seconds of play for about three seconds before resuming play. My setup using an Nvisia Shield (client & server) along with an HD Homerun Quattro all connected on the same LAN Any settings I missing or any ideas anyone ? Thanks

I Think I've discovered an 3 issue in regards to TV shows, and I'd like some input on how to resolve. (This happens on both Emby and PLEX). I can't record half hour long shows, they cut off after 5-10 minutes of recording. I can only program recording if show is an hour or longer. Is there a work-around? Shows do not record with Season and Episode number. Is there a work-around? Commercials are not automatically taken out. Is there another plugin I can use?

Hello, I try to setup the live TV with emby (I have the emby premiere subscription) without success I just had the following url in the TV source: http://mafreebox.freebox.fr/freeboxtv/playlist.m3u This in a quick extract of the file: #EXTM3U #EXTINF:0,2 - France 2 (bas débit) rtsp://mafreebox.freebox.fr/fbxtv_pub/stream?namespace=1&service=201&flavour=ld #EXTINF:0,2 - France 2 (HD) rtsp://mafreebox.freebox.fr/fbxtv_pub/stream?namespace=1&service=201&flavour=hd #EXTINF:0,2 - France 2 (standard) rtsp://mafreebox.freebox.fr/fbxtv_pub/stream?namespace=1&service=201&flavour=sd #EXTINF:0,2 - France 2 (auto) rtsp://mafreebox.freebox.fr/fbxtv_pub/stream?namespace=1&service=201 #EXTINF:0,3 - France 3 (standard) rtsp://mafreebox.freebox.fr/fbxtv_pub/stream?namespace=1&service=202&flavour=sd #EXTINF:0,3 - France 3 (bas débit) rtsp://mafreebox.freebox.fr/fbxtv_pub/stream?namespace=1&service=202&flavour=ld #EXTINF:0,3 - France 3 (HD) rtsp://mafreebox.freebox.fr/fbxtv_pub/stream?namespace=1&service=202&flavour=hd Unfortunaly after few seconde I have an error : No compatible streams are currently available.

Hi, I want to get some help with my Emby instance. No matter how I setup my live tv (Xteve, adding m3u directly to Emby, PMS from Xteve). I tried the same m3u playlist on different places such as VLC and other media applications and it worked without issues. Here are my logs embyserver.txt ffmpeg-transcode-007b333e-bb70-4857-a61a-63a4ee63091d_1.txt

I want to play file on my computer, how can I do that? Please, guys, help me

So if there is a setting, I can't find it. I have recently added Live TV and have recorded most of the season of OTA NFL games. One thing I've noticed is that when I watch part of a game and exit, it does not show up in the "Continue Watching" section like other programs. Is there a way to make it show up there?

In the live TV you can have indicators for 'premieres'. Is there a way (maybe via search), to see all premieres in my TV lineup for the week? If not, think this could be handy to catch new TV shows

Emby Server: Ubuntu 20.04 on a HP 290 p0043w with 16GB RAM. Hello. Ever since I have upgraded from 4.5 to 4.6, I have to constantly reset my server for Live TV at least once a day or else I get Playback Error after a few hours running, and at one time I had to do it three times. I don't know what is causing it, and I tried looking through the logs but can't spot anything.

Hi @Luke @ebr, I was wondering with your recent new update to 4.6.50 whether you have included the new direct support for live tv via tuner cards without additional software (e.g. MediaPortal, WinTV etc)? As the changelog doesn't mention it, but doesn't mean that it isn't present. As it may be an unlisted change, anyway I have tried to find the release announcement for the new version as it may be mentioned either way in that post. But it doesn't seem to have been written and published yet could someone please answer me on the situation with this question please? Thanks, MrGrymReaper

So I recently ... well over the holidays... so I guess that is still recent... setup an HD HomeRun Prime with a CableCard and for the most part all is working flawlessly.. but there are a few channels I don't see in emby, but I do see through the HD HomeRun app (which is hideous, thank you emby team for making a much better interface). I'm sure there are other channels, but the 2 I can't fine are 83 and 583 covering FS1 on FiOS. I get FS2 and other DRM channels that are viewable on the HD HomeRun, but not these two. The automatically selected "Emby Guide Data" for my zip code seems to be: USA-VA65087-X can we add 83 - Fox Sports 1 583 - Fox Sports 1 HD thanks.

Just curious if you now this answer. Sometimes programs change due to major events (I.e. 9-11, death of president/queen). Do you know how often gracenote update their listing (once a day, every 4 hours,etc)

I've looked at other postings of this type but don't see anything really exactly similar to this situation - Situation: Chromecast goes black (no image or sound) after pause/resume of Live TV (on NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox) The problem only appears on Live TV - much higher resolution/bitrate/bandwidth movies do not have the problem. Android controlling Chromecast Gen 3 that is wired, not wireless - using gigabit adapter. Playback set to auto. Stream is 720p Comcast via HD Homerun Prime. Stream runs as "Direct Streaming" in the Emby dashboard. No CPU issues on server or network bottlenecks. Network is wired gigabit ethernet. Server indicates 6-8Mbps network load. When the screen goes dark, Emby console indicates that playback continues. However, the play timer in the dashboard panel changes from elapsed time of the stream to "--:--:--" At this point I can't look at the log because it is open. I can see that ffmpeg is still an active process. Android app generally may or may not show connection to Chromecast, but Google Home shows that the Chromecast is still connected to Emby. To look at the log I must first use Google Home to stop the stream. When I do that the Chromecast images reappear on the screen without further intervention - the standard pretty scenery. The logs are attached. The stream started at about 2pm and the screen probably went black about 3:30pm and then I stopped it at 4:03pm. From the log the stream appears to have continued processing normally until I used Google Home to stop it. You can see me stopping it in the log. But there was a black screen a long time before then. When this happens we typically just restart the channel, but it is starting to get annoying. A restart always works perfectly. Have not seen this behavior with Netflix or Prime casting (or before moving to Emby when I used WMC against the same tuner on the same server and network) Full log files attached. Any thoughts? This happens regularly on a TV that is left on during the day and we've also seen it on a second TV with a 4K Chromecast. I've swapped the Chromecast and the ethernet adapter and the HDMI port. Nothing helps. ffmpeg-remux-705a89cd-012e-42b9-9941-6abe02ef7fbf_1.txt embyserver.txt

Hi, I know there are a few similar posts, but I havent found anything for my specific situation. I am looking for a DVB-C Tuner for the live tv and recording feature in Emby, that is currently available to buy (Europe). It should be able to handle up to 4 streams at 1080p, work with Emby and have a ci+ slot (or two) I found HD Homeruns etc only used at ebay on amazon etc they are all out of stock. Will the tv guide work with that solution, i found a few post that sayed it only works with DVB-T :)

Everything else is working fine Any ideas would be great.thanks PS. i have emby premier subscription
