t.andre 69 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) Hello Everyone, Here you can find a description and change log for the DVBLink and TVMosaic Live TV plugin. Prerequisites TVMosaic version 1.0 DVBLink version 5.0 and above DVBLink version 4 (not tested) Information- Pre and post padding is configured by DVBLink server- Unfortunately it's impossible to get the tuners list from DVBLink API - The plugin only works with IP address - Please change the DVBLink server and port on the plugin configuration page - Timeshift only works with indirect stream. The reason that I provided the option for indirect and direct stream it's because in the past Emby did not release the live stream. If the option of indirect stream works correctly and closes your live TV stream you can use it. - Version : 1.8.9 (20120.02.26) * Fix save settings v2 - Version : 1.8.8 (2019.12.08) * Fix save settings - Version : 1.8.7 (2019.05.21) * Fix recordings refresh - Version : 1.8.6 (2019.04.22) * Fix Live TV - Version : 1.8.5 (2019.02.18) * Fix Live TV HD Channel Black Screen with Audio * Fix plugin logo - Version : 1.8.4 (2019.01.22) * Fix plugin recording categories -Version : 1.8.3 (2019.01.14) * Fix plugin image thumb -Version : 1.8.2 (beta) (2019.01.14) - TVMosaic plugin * Fix schedule padding * Fix new schedule active state -Version : 1.7.0 (beta)(2018.09.10) * New TVMosaic plugin * Add the possibility to enable or disable the server * Code fix -Version : 1.6.7 (beta)(2018.06.21) * Update configuration page * Added server status to check if available -Version : 1.6.6 (beta)(2018.06.21) * Add 2 more option to choose favourites group -Version : 1.6.5 (beta)(2018.06.19) * Bug fix * New option to choose 3 kinds of favourites group -Version : 1.6.4 (beta)(2018.06.16) * Bug fix * Add new configuration option to specify Streaming port -Version : 1.6.1 (beta)(2018.05.04) * Update Url Endpoint -Version : 1.6.0 (beta)(2018.04.24) * Update Assembly reference * TVMosaic implementation -Version : 1.5.2 (2017.10.24) * Update Assembly reference -Version : 1.5.1 (2017.10.23) * Update httpclient -Version : 1.5.0 (2017.09.12) * Updated Plugin to .NET Core -Version : 1.3.0 (beta) (2016.10.23) * Update configuration page* Add cache system - Channels : 60mn - Timers: 2mn - Recordings: 2mn - Series: 2mn* Add HD channel information -Version : 1.2.0 (beta) (2016.07.12) *Add DVBLink server channels logo (you have to check the option in configuration page)*Update configuration page -Version : 1.1.6 (2016.03.30) * Fix TunerHostId error -Version : 1.1.5 (2016.03.14) * Fix creation of new timer * Update cache -Version : 1.1.4 (2016.02.10) * Add recordings, channels and scheduled cache (1mn for recordings and scheduled and 60mn for channels) -Version : 1.1.3 (2016.02.10) * Update BufferMs * Update stream successions order -Version : 1.1.1 (2016.02.05) * Add Settings to force Interlaced video * Code fix -Version : 1.1.0 (2016.02.03) * Update ProbeStream* Change version number to semantic version* Fix HD channels close -Version : 1.0.5856.33165 (2016.01.13) - Update code for DVBLink 4 -Version : 1.0.5853.28100 (2016.01.10) - Seek recorded TV is corrected - New Options in configuration page: - Added timeout in minutes until channel playback is stopped by a server - You can now specify your own location for channels logo.

e123enitan 237 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) Just new to Live TV, has anyone conduct scientific comparing between MP & DVB Link and which do you prefer and why , as I am contemplating either one as a back end.

Spaceboy 2493 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Dvblink is paid for MP is free. But paying for dvblink gets you nothing more in terms of service than banging your head against a brick wall. It's only coz I have a headache already that I stick with dvblink 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rshack 4 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 This is great news!! I've been waiting for DVBLink plugin... Doesn't seem to work with 4.6 though I might try to upgrade, but worried it will mess with things as I know there were quite a few changes from 4 to 5. When looking at the "Live TV" section in MBS, under tuners nothing is listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t.andre 69 Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 I forgot, you have to change DVBlink address and port in configuration port Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceboy 2493 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 i have set the server address and port in the plugin settings and all reports ok in the live tv status. the only other clue i can see is that MBS reports my dvblink version as 5.1.0 but its not, its 5.0.0. i plan to upgrade to 5.1 tonight after tv has finished so i will report Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayankel 2 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I forgot, you have to change DVBlink address and port in configuration port I did it and nothing changes. I tried with 127.0.0.1, localhost and the local IP (192.168.1.97) and i tried as well both ports (8080 and 8100) but nothing changes, it simply doesn't work.
