The long awaited live tv plugin for DVBViewer Recording Service is now awailable in Emby's plugin catalogue! I started this project just for fun, to see how easy it is to port an existing tv plugin to an other service and to check myself for my little coding skills. Unfortunately because of the ugly API and bad documentation of DVBViewer's Recording Service it wasn't always that funny for me. Anyway it's ready for release i think. I didn't tested it that much myself (i'm a MediaPortal user [emoji14] ) but in theory it should be working quit good already. Of course, i'm pretty sure you will find some bugs. Some remarks: Of course you have to enable the Webinterface of the Recording Service, the UPNP Server isn't needed. The plugin doesn't make use of the DVB-IP server of the Recording Service. So if you see some DVB devices in the live tv status page of the dashboard, please disable them or you will see duplicated channels. Don't delete them, because they will return! After you've set your channelgroup in the plugin settings, you have to manually trigger the "Refresh Guide" task once to populate the channels. If you cancel a one time schedule the first time in Emby, the timer gets disabled in DVBViewer. A second cancellation in Emby deletes the timer in the backend. If you want to re-enable a cancelled one time schedule, just go into the details page of the timer and hit save. Series schedule uses "EPG Auto Search" of the Recording Service Webinterface. Keep in mind, if you edit an existing Auto Search in Emby some of your predefined options (genre, duration, special searchphrase regex) get lost. Now have fun!
