Cannot get Live TV with Emby Theater

I purchased a year subscription solely for Emby Theater use and Live TV.

 

So far I've spent a week going through these forums and other online resources trying to get live TV to work, but after troubleshooting a bunch of other things to get them working like they should I still cannot get Live TV to work.

 

It works on internet browsers on desktop computers and that's it.

 

It's awful and practically useless on the PS4 as well, which is the original device for which I made the purchase.

 

Since it won't work on the PS4 I thought I'd try the Pi since thats the only other device I have that would be useful for this.

 

What kind of information is necessary to start troubleshooting this issue?

 

 

Problem:

 

1) TV will just sit at black screen, does not attempt to load. When I check the CableCard tuner status it shows none of them active. (HD Home Run)

2) The guide is not listed on the home page. I have to scroll down to the TV section before I can see an option for the guide. Going from the channel or program directly yields the same result as above.

3) The region seems to be European (Programme / Favourites / etc). Is there another version of the application I was to get? The last commit on the git I have looks to be a year ago.

 

If this isn't something that is working or is able to be resolved I'm going to need to request a refund.

 

Thanks,

Dark

And if it helps

 

192.168.1.40 is HomeRunHD Prime

192.168.1.51 is Emby server

192.168.1.52 is Emby Theater Pi Client

Okay, while I did return the year subscription I have some time this weekend and liked the interface enough to give it one more try for a month.

 

Here is something I noticed I'm getting the moment I try to open a television channel:

 

Please note that my client is 192.168.1.51 and my HomeRunHD is on 192.168.1.40. 

 

Does this help determine what the issue may be? I'm not actually seeing it call the HomeRunHD, but I may just be misunderstanding what I'm seeing.

Also, the web interface DOES work on the Pi. The app doesn't. But the web player performs pretty poorly.

SON OF A BITCH.

 

It was the MPEG2 codec. I swear to god I installed it before but I guess either it was broken or I had reset the thing after I installed it and forgot to do it again.

 

Either way I think we're set. Give me a week of solid service and I'll buy this bad boy at least a year.

Thanks for the feedback. Stay tuned because we're about to have something very nice for the Pi.
