muzicman0 59 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 (edited) I clearly have wrong expectations or am doing something wrong! I have Emby for Kodi Next Gen (current stable 7.x version) installed and installed the IPTV Simple Client. It enabled just fine. I went and chose to sync live TV through the Emby for Kodi plugin, which it appears to do, but nothing shows in the EPG. Should it? If not, how do you access it? And...yes, I have Live TV enabled in Emby working just fine. I can also go to Emby for Kodi plugin and access live TV through 'Dynamic' libraries. But it isn't in a grid guide. What am I missing?

Two possible reasons. First, the EPG sync crashes, send me a kodi.log after sync and I'll review it. Second, EPG path is wrong or disabled in iptv simple client. Actually, the e4k plugin should set them but maybe something overwrote that setting. Edited April 11, 2023 by quickmic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzicman0 59 Posted April 11, 2023 Author Share Posted April 11, 2023 I saw something that auto configuration has been broken by a Kodi change, but there was a possible work-around. Automatic configuration from another addon · Issue #740 · kodi-pvr/pvr.iptvsimple (github.com) Is it something I can manually configure? There is a config created, but it's pretty much blank (for example, the path to the EPG data is set to internet, but no address). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a config created, but it's pretty much blank (for example, the path to the EPG data is set to internet, but no address). With 7.X there are 2 files generated: "../userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.emby-next-gen/temp/livetv.epg" and "../userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.emby-next-gen/temp/livetv.m3u" They should be used by iptv simple plugin. You can set the pathes manually as well via iptv simple plugin config menu. This instruction is not valid for 8.X (works differently).

muzicman0 59 Posted April 11, 2023 Author Share Posted April 11, 2023 I will try this out today when I get a chance. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzicman0 59 Posted April 11, 2023 Author Share Posted April 11, 2023 I assumed it was a local path, but Kodi wouldn't let me navigate to it (stopped at data/), so I tried doing it as a internet path, but that didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muzicman0 59 Posted May 24, 2023 Author Share Posted May 24, 2023 I installed the latest Beta (finally!!), but I still can't get the EPG to work. What should the setting in the IPTV Simple Client be? It currently is trying something at http://127.0.0.1/...... I tried changing it from localhost to my Emby Server IP Address, which then makes TV work, but still no EPG.

muzicman0 59 Posted May 24, 2023 Author Share Posted May 24, 2023 So I reset my PVR settings (in Kodi), and it kinda works now. But it is hit and miss on whether it will actually start when I run the Kodi app. I typically have to restart one or both add-ons (Emby Next Gen & IPTV Simple) multiple times to get Live TV to start. Should timers work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Channels should never have a Problem. Quote Should timers work? Sort of, you can set Emby times via context menu but not possible to use the "native" Kodi/PVR timers. Also I'll add some improvements in next version. Edited May 24, 2023 by quickmic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzicman0 59 Posted May 24, 2023 Author Share Posted May 24, 2023 Both. Kodi banner at the top says something like 'Creating PVR IPTV Simple' or similar. That banner never goes away and I get no channels or EPG. Sometimes I can force it by restarting some stuff within Kodi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muzicman0 59 Posted May 26, 2023 Author Share Posted May 26, 2023 How do I get that version? I think the version on the beta repository is something like 8.4.x? or maybe it was 8.2.4...can't remember for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quickmic 1373 Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 (edited) I forgot to ask, do you use iptvsimple > 20? Usually comes with Kodi 20+? The improvements are only for this version. Edited May 26, 2023 by quickmic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzicman0 59 Posted May 26, 2023 Author Share Posted May 26, 2023 Yes it is. I don't remember the exact version, bit it was in the 20's. I am running Kodi 20.1 and using the standard Kodi repo to install. I will get you logs when I have time to mess with this again.

Loco007 8 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Hi, has there been any progress on this? I have the same issue where movies and tvshows sync fine but after I install IPTV Simple Client and then select sync live tv in Emby settings nothing happens. Can you please confirm what the auto fill settings should be in IPTV Simple Client? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loco007 8 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Hi, I did select Sync LiveTV last night and have done the same again tonight - have gone back through the addon settings - sync - manage libraries - selected sync LiveTV and nothing happens. I've done this today and attached log for today, hoping this shows something. Is there a step im missing to have liveTV sync? I do also have Kodi Companion 2.2.1.0 installed on Emby if that makes any difference? kodi.log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
