malex1111 1 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Hi, Total new user here. Need some help understanding how to setup a Clearstream TV tuner. Works fine in Plex. I like Emby better so far. Have Emby premiere, Win 11. have tried multiple Live TV servers and tried M3U files. Sometimes takes a long time but never works. Have setup a few Plugin Servers and none can see the Clearstream tuner. This tuner is Wifi, no USB or direct ethernet connection. Anyone got one of these to work for Live TV? Thanks for any help or suggestions. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37055 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Hi, how are you importing this into Emby server? I’ve never heard of Clearstream before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malex1111 1 Posted February 4, 2023 Author Share Posted February 4, 2023 Hi, Here's a brief description: ClearStream TV review | TechHive My tv is a ways away from my router so I don't have to run an ethernet cable, this tuner doesn't have an ethernet port, wifi only Emby can't discover it. I've tried the usual plug in servers, DVBlink, Media Portal Nextpvr and they cant see it either. I've tried setting up an m3u link. Example #EXTM3U #EXTINF:0, 2.1,Fox 2.1 http://192.168.149.xxx/live?channel=2.1&client=2.1 Tries but won't connect. I can see the tuner on my network, Geniatech DVB>IP Server 1.1.0-414r1, Apr 19 2019, 10:28:57 Copyright (C) 2016-2017 Geniatech Inc.Ltd.

emveepee 112 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I can probably help you with NextPVR but I don't see the m3u links documented for ClearstreamTV Can you post a link to where you found one? That looks like a NextPVR m3u listing. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malex1111 1 Posted February 4, 2023 Author Share Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) Yes that's where I got it from. NextPVR however doesn't find the tuner. I wonder how Plex auto finds the tuner?

emveepee 112 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Using NextPVR styled links to another device won't work 99.9% of the time. I think your device support UPnPs maybe that is how it works in Plex. Not sure if Emby or TVnext in the future support that for live tv input. There might be a way to stream via rtsp too but you'd need to do some research Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malex1111 1 Posted February 4, 2023 Author Share Posted February 4, 2023 Some more info. When I go to the IP address and port 58888 it shows this info; <MediaContainer> <MediaGrabber identifier="com.geniatech.www" protocols="livetv" thumb="/www/image/eyetv_netstream_logo_normal.png" title="geniatech Grabber"/> <MediaContainer> I have no idea what this is but could use some help.

emveepee 112 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 He was just trying a NextPVR page on his device IP, which is not going to work. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emveepee 112 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I am so confused, the URL he is not even related to his device so it shouldn't work, 404 maybe? Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malex1111 1 Posted February 6, 2023 Author Share Posted February 6, 2023 Here's the m3u example added to the TV source; #EXTM3U #EXTINF:0,2.1-Fox http://192.168.149.230/live?channel=2.1&client=2.1 #EXTINF:0, 2.2 - WJBK Movies http://192.168.149.230/live?channel=2.2&client=2.2 Added the Guide data source Emby guide data OTA stations in my zip code (very accurate by the way) and mapped to the Channels setup. Rebooted the server and the channels show up in On Now emby home and get the message; Playback Error No compatible streams are currently available. Please try again later or contact your system administrator for details. Also tried with port numbers:554 (RTSP), 58888 (Media Grabber). No joy. So I know the NextPVR links are not a good way to do it. Any other suggestions? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emveepee 112 Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Luke, you clearly aren't understanding the problem. He doesn't know how (or if) his device supports http streaming. He read about NextPVR urls and is using that with is Clearstream h/w device IP. Logs won't help, he needs to do more research on the capabilities of the device.

malex1111 1 Posted February 6, 2023 Author Share Posted February 6, 2023 Martin, yes I agree. I don't think the logs will help. So I'll continue to investigate. Thanks all, Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
