clarkss12 295 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I've never used the closed captioning for live TV. I used to run TVHeadend first with Kodi, then with Emby. I just wanted to get away from multiple applications cobbled together for my solution. Is this a feature request that's been asked for? There has been multiple request for CC, but it just get ignored. Old people like me, sometimes have a difficulty understanding TV conversations.

BAlGaInTl 279 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Does Plex live TV support IPTV (m3u)? I believe they have a bundle (plug-in) that does it. It may be a community plug-in and not an official Plex feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdiesel 1112 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I believe they have a bundle (plug-in) that does it. It may be a community plug-in and not an official Plex feature. Yeah I am aware of the IPTV bundle which is less than ideal and it is just a basic list of current programs. I was thinking more along what Emby does with full guide integration and PVR features. As far as Live TV goes anything less than a grid view is not sufficient in my opinion. I don't use any hardware that requires third party plugins so I can't comment on that but my experience with the built in Live TV functionality has been great. The option to use PVR backends is a benefit IMO as long as they are continued to be supported and developed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6742 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Emby needs a bit more work to fully integrate IPTV sources into it's Live TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdiesel 1112 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Emby needs a bit more work to fully integrate IPTV sources into it's Live TV. What is it missing? I can't think of anything other than maybe having some options to help manually parse the input m3u/xml. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorting and numbering within Emby, rather than having to manually edit a potentially large file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrincessClevage 173 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Something like this? Looks great, not sure info is needed when using mini guide (4-6lines for quick view, active by pushing down arrow on remote) tho (top right), imo leave live tv full screen and for mini guide just show 4-6 lines (no show info). Pressing full guide button displays semi transparent (live TV running behind) full screen TV guide with info etc (for a more detailed look). Same as WMC ( I think they got it right years ago;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you source your images from? All response from the Icetv guys on the icetv thread have stopped so currently some of us do not have tv show images in our epg data.

ebr 14851 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 1. The first one does and allows you to still see the entire currently playing program 2. A combination of guide data and our other metadata providers (mostly for movies I think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With wmc it was a full guide just with fewer rows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't tried the Plex live TV yet, but I am wavering between the HDHomeRun app and tvheadend, which both have closed captions. I prefer Emby, but lack of closed captions (CC), will cause it to be tossed aside. Universal closed caption support is coming: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It pretends to be a hdhomerun so it tricks plex into showing IPTV programming. Edited December 4, 2021 by BillOatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope lee Emby will work direct support but I still SOL on Capture card like HD-PVR 2, Colossus 2 so I still have relied on NextPVR as I have cable box.
