csadoian 34 Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 It's times like this a "manual record" option would be nice (i.e. tell Emby to record on channel xx starting at xx:xx for xx amount of time). My old TIVO could do that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerV76 84 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 It's times like this a "manual record" option would be nice (i.e. tell Emby to record on channel xx starting at xx:xx for xx amount of time). My old TIVO could do that! Ive resorted to reinstalling my plex server to handle the dvr functions for now and using emby for live TV. My Tablo just sold so its back in the box. Hopefully this is an easy fix and one of the mods can chime in to let us know whats happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck 17 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Response from SD ... OK, none of those logs mean anything to me because I don't run Emby. I would need an Emby dev to tell me what they're seeing (or not seeing) with the data so that I can determine if there's something happening on our side. No other application developer has contacted me to say that the data is wrong. rt@schedulesdirect.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TylerV76 84 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 (edited) I'm looking into it, thanks guys. Thank you for looking into this. I was able to create an xml file using mc2xml and directing it to my schedules direct account. I assume I have to manually run this file every few days to update the data? This will work for now until there is a fix for directly using the schedules direct option. Edit: I set it up as a daily task under windows task scheduler to update the xml automatically everyday. If any of the other people having issues with this guide data want to know what Ive done, here are the steps. Download mc2xml from here: http://mc2xml.hosterbox.net/ Create a folder on your server where you want the data stored called mc2xml Place the mc2xml.exe in that folder and open the exe file. Fill in your post code and select the schedules direct option. I also selected "new" in the optional section. This will open a command window that will download the data xml file into the same folder. In emby, delete your schedules direct tv guide and add a new one under the XML TV option. Point emby to the newly created xml file and hit save. This will refresh the EPG. Run it automatically: Open windows task scheduler Create a basic task Name it whatever you like and add a description Select Daily Decide on a time for it to run Select Start a program Hit browse and locate the folder you created for mc2xml and select the mc2xml.exe In the "Start In (optional)" Point to the folder the exe is stored in. For me it was "T:\mc2xml" Click next, then finish and you're all set. This gave me today and 6 more days of data so Ive changed emby to only show 6 days in the TV Guide. Also, this will not give you cover art for shows. Edited August 23, 2017 by TylerV76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I installed the .3 beta last night and the same problem persisted. The beta also had a hard time finding my tuners. Will try the .4 now.

I have another computer I set up as a test system that I installed Emby Server on, I will use that to test possible solutions that Luke comes up with.

csadoian 34 Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 TylerV76, I noticed that after I used the mc2xml I didn't get any channel icons. I should mention that I completely wiped out my Emby server and started over from scratch, so icons that were there before were erased. I can live without the icons for now, but I was wondering if there was an option in mc2xml that would download them. I didn't see anything, and I used the Schedules Direct (not Schedules Direct JSON) and option -a NEW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have the channel logos in the guide but so far I havent figured out how to get the "On Now" images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest asrequested Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Today I had a lot of data, missing. I have 2 primes. I ran the HDHR setup software, when to channel line up and re-scanned all channels on both units. I then ran refresh guide. All data is again, populated. Maybe this could help others?

Unfortunately that doesnt appear to have worked. It seems like when I added the schedules direct it stored some the old data and added a little new data. When I look 7 days, out where there wasnt any data from the xml, its still missing a bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, yeah. I hadn't looked further in the guide. My data was missing, starting today. That came back. But when I look further, in my case, 12 days. I see missing data.

My main concern is being able to record shows and the xml is letting me handle that. I'm sure this will get patched up soon.
