Daniel Hall 7 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) I just want to ask does anyone experience blank current playing shows for some reason when I put the URL always at night time I go to the guide and everything that is currently on is blank. I posted the issue on IceTV but didn’t get a reply to my second post so currently i use wget to download and then upload into emby since the download is always done earlier I don’t have the issue of blank current shows Woops, didn't see the second part of the reply, my bad. Have responded over on our forums. (for reference this is at http://forum.icetv.com.au/iceforum/xmltv-general/10/no-guide-data-for-current-showings-only-the-ones-coming-up/5880/msg31313#msg31313) Edited April 17, 2018 by Daniel Hall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaise 307 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Come late to the party on this. I have not looked at liveTV forum for a while. Our guides FTA guides in Aus are rubbish. I have used iceTV for many years, from my old beyonwiz PVR days, then Windows Media Centre/media browser. When I moved off that to nextPVR/Emby, I had to end the smart recording features of IceTV. I messed around with a few free xmltv services here in Aus with various levels of failures so in the end, I bit the bullet and signed up for the emby TV guide service so I now just pay for the guide data. I have nextPVR as a backend for emby (scripts pull down the xml guide data for nextPVR daily). The guide has never missed a beat. About once a week I trawl through the guide on nextPVR, setting a few one-off's, and making sure my series shows are all there. It has never missed a beat, never missed a show. The roku's also show this guide data delivered via Emby, even though the Emby server is not used for liveTV/Recorded TV (in my case) and that all works fine also. For Emby guide data, With iceTV, you login to their service, and it gives you a url ready to go you just plug into emby guide. Same as Plex I believe. I have never touched it since. What I would love is for the IceTV Smart record service to be supported with NextPVR (and I guess some would like it with Emby server)...... Then a full subscription would be taken again.

colinoice 1 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Hi vaise, IceTV would be very excited if Emby would use our "IceTV Interactive Smart Recording Service" just as IceTV Interactive runs on Windows MCE. I still use MCE as I don't want to lose the Tivoesque recording features, especially via the smartphone apps which makes managing recordings from anywhere so easy. Maybe our Australian market is to small to make it worthwhile although we'd look at ingesting EPG data from overseas too if we could offer the Interactive Service elsewhere. Locally we curate the Australian EPG data ourselves, nationwide, to endeavour to optimise the accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi colinoice, for me personally, it is nextPVR that I want the iceTV smart recording to work with, as that is doing all my guide/recording. I recently found out that is was developed by a New Zealander.... Maybe he is watching this, I knwo he posts in the nextPVR section froom time to time.

Daniel Hall 7 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Hi Emby Community, Just wanted to give a quick update on IceTV's guide feed.

TiphaneeIceTV 1 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 @@kingy444 The Guide Team undertake two checks per day. One in the morning and the other at 5pm. The morning checks start with Sydney and usually updates are finished by 8.30am. Following Sydney, other Capitals, ACT and Regional checks are all carried out. Depending on your location, it would probably be safe to schedule an update around 9am for Sydney, and 10.30am for ACT and other capitals. If you're in Darwin or a Regional area, I would probably wait until about 11am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi lebowski, It is actually up to Emby, but I believe when you setup an XMLTV source within Emby that is what is used (so they would be coming from IceTV).

Luke 37192 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Yes that is correct. Channel logos within the xmltv data are supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
