IPTV Simple and Kodi and Emby

[muzicman0 78]

I have ZERO doubts that I am doing something completely wrong. But I can't seem to find a comprehensive guide on how to set up the Kodi Add-On to work with the IPTV Simple Add-on.  

I have Live TV working in Emby, but can't get it in Kodi.  

I am on the 11.x branch of Emby4Kodi NG, and I have installed the IPTV Simple Add-on.

but then...nothing.  I feel like I am missing something.

Have you tried the following in Kodi.

System>Add-ons>My Add-ons>Services>Emby for Kodi next gen>configure>sync>manage libraries>Enable live TV

This works for me.

I will check that out.  Once I remembered (doh!) that IPTV Simple doesn't support Timers in Kodi I started looking for a different solution and think I solved my actual problem without needing the add-on.

Using the Add-on, I'm able to use long press in the TV guide to have 

Emby record the show. This shows up as EMBY:Record.

Yeah, in my case, I am using multiple DVR's (and I normally use Channels DVR to record).  I wanted a unified interface in Kodi to show all of my upcoming recordings in one view, but the channels DVR Kodi plugin doesn't seem to allow multiple profiles.  I ended up using NextPVR just as my remote recording solution (I get no OTA antenna signal at home, but great signal at my office a few miles away - so I record OTA TV there) and Channels DVR at home.   I then import the recordings to Emby with an automated script.  So far it seems to work well for what I want.

Ok, Understood.  Glad you got it sorted.
