hstamas 153 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 As my "temporary" solution for DVR timeshiftimg functionality is come due for its paid renewal I though I might ask the devs including @@marcelveldt if there might be any momentum forward on getting a native PVR client for Kodi/Emby? Talked about it about a year ago stating it was on his to do list. Any chance its coming anytime soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37167 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 We are looking to contract someone to help us develop this. Anyone experienced with Kodi addon development can send me a PM if interested. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pünktchen 1259 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 One big problem might be, that unlike all the normal Kodi Python addons, the pvr addons are written in C++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pünktchen 1259 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 @@Luke i know you have a lot of other things ongoing and it's very hard to find a C++ developer, but can't you just provide the Emby live tv channels as a m3u playlist and the guide date as a xmltv file via your api? This way at least the Kodi users could utilize Kodi's IPTV pvr addon to watch live tv from their Emby server. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37167 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Yes we can definitely do that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This way at least the Kodi users could utilize Kodi's IPTV pvr addon to watch live tv from their Emby server. That would actually be a great idea. Not only would this work for Kodi but it could be used by other programs as well. Heck even people who love Live Channels (Android) could remove normal sources like HDHomeRuns and instead use the Emby IPTV source. This would then allow sharing of tuners and a consolidated (OTA, Cable, IPTV) source view that automatically updates on the clients whenever it's changed on Emby! It would be nice to be able to setup users with whatever client they prefer in the house for Live TV and know that your tuners are still being shared.

hstamas 153 Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 This has definitely peaked my interest. Would it function just like a native PVR client? I assume you wou.d need to export something out of Emby and import it into Kodi periodically? Sorry but I’m not very well versed in how Kodi works with live TV.

Luke 37167 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 A static m3u and xml tv url is something that the client app (kodi) would just re-download periodically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maegibbons 1267 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Its an interesting concept since it opens up emby as a server to ANY current IPTV software or Hardware client. Krs Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vidman 589 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Going the iptv route would not allow pvr/dvr sheduling/ recording on emby via a Kodi frontend tho would it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you setup IPTV in Kodi itself and had 2 Kodi systems (bedroom & living room) with both watching the same channel Emby would only use one tuner. Individual setups in Kodi would use two tuners to accomplish the same thing. You can sort of accomplish the same thing already NextPVR. Both Kodi and Emby can use NextPVR as it's source.
