DavidLTalbot Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I've been evaluating replacements for Windows Media Center now that it has been sadly discontinued. I've configured MediaPortal and Kodi (via imdb tv listings) both and their recording options are pretty primitive (just record new episodes please!). When I saw this post that MediaBrowser was going to launch a PVR I am excited to see what you have as I've used the MediaBrowser Windows Media Center plugin for a while. I downloaded EmbyTheatre and didn't see any embytv features in there nor do I see a separate EmbyTV download. When will it be available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Emby TV is a server plug-in. You install and configure it on your server and then get Live TV in the apps from the server. I'm not sure how much Live TV Emby Theater has implemented at this point, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reluctantflux Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Live TV is available with EPG in the Web, Android, Android TV, and Fire TV clients. Live TV is available via channel and "what's on" lists in the Windows 8.1 client and Emby Theater. I'm unaware of the Live TV status on Windows Moblie or Apple iOS. This sub-forum is specifically for the Emby TV plugin, which basically is the native Emby live TV back-end, so no need for Mediaportal, ServerWMC, or other third party application. This plugin was specifically designed to work with US HDHomeRun devices from Silicondust, but should work with other network tuners as well (i.e. HDHomerun DVB, Ceton, Hauppauge devices). Emby TV plugin can be downloaded from the Plugins list on your server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 EmbyTV is a live tv provider plugin that is compatible with HDHomerun tuners and does not require any additional third party software, unlike the others. Emby TV is a server plug-in. You install and configure it on your server and then get Live TV in the apps from the server. I'm not sure how much Live TV Emby Theater has implemented at this point, however. So you need to purchase a HDHomeRun device to use this plugin ?? Are they generally available ??

reluctantflux Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 @@CBers Yes, you can purchase them from popular online retailers like Amazon and Newegg. Other network tuners may work, as well, like from Ceton, but I haven't personally tested them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilky13 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Has anyone tested it with PCIe tuners (like Ceton's) or only network attached ones? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snapper Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Right now the app only supports network attached Specifically tuners with DLNA support. The developer only has access to a SiliconDust tuner, but has shown a willingness to try and support other tuners if users are willing to help.

Scot Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Not sure if this is the right place to ask? I'm in Australia and therefore have no support for Schedules Direct, will you support OTA DVB/ATSC EPG populating the guide in edition to Schedules Direct?

ebr Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I don't know the answer but I would create a separate post in this forum. It becomes very hard to keep track of multiple issues and questions in the same thread and it is impossible to ever mark them as answered/solved.

KarterJK Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) Well, I already have a year membership with Schedules Direct in my testing with NextPVR and it works fine I also have 3 HD HomeRun Prime tuners I was currently using the ServerWMC which works great, I uninstalled it to try an test the EmbyTV and it cant find anything, it doesn't download the guide it doesn't detect the tuners Perhaps additional instructions, or do we need to do something else to make this work? [uPDATE] Thanks to MediaCowboy, I now have this up and running.

PhilWhite Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Did someone in your group sell his or her soul to the devil? Seriously. The strides you guys have made in Emby TV over the past month is incredible. No more pixilation, clear signals. Now recordings are named with show, season and episode? OK, series recording seems to be broken, but I can record individual episodes with proper naming on my server. I had to redo everything when the emby server stopped -- I think over issues with series recording -- but the second try with individual episode recording is terrific. I can wait for series recording. And anything that can help de-interlacing of 1080i content. Damn. Just damn. Good work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 thanks if you can give me more info on series recordings we can get them resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilWhite Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Let me play with it tonight to see if I can recreate the same problem. I had some difficulty with one of my tuners yesterday and that might have been the real problem. The one thing I can say is that when I tried to record a series initially I received a message saying that the item could not be found. But if I set a single show to record and then tried to record that same show as a series the series recording set up. I don't know if it would have recorded normally since I had to reinstall the server last night. I'll let you know if I run into any problems setting series recording tonight.

mediacowboy Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) Luke, Do we need to still have the day off by one when doing a series recording? Edit: Answered my own question. That is a yes. Is this something that is going to be looked at? Edited June 22, 2015 by mediacowboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilWhite Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Update -- looks like it was the tuner. Recording went off without a hitch, well exceptone. Series recording looks fine, but the server crashed halfway through. So, I turned off realtime library monitoring and we'll see how things go from here. I think Emby TV is fine. The image quality using the Extend (Plus) HD Homerun today was very good. Recordings have always been pristine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
