pir8radio 1305 Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 Does your provider not allow 10 streams on the 1 account then? No, that’s why I’m stuck.
pir8radio 1305 Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 I would echo @@cayars and suggest using npvr or mediaportal, aggregate them there and then use the functionality discussed recently to get an m3u from that into emby yea... I love how emby works on its own lol... I'm just hoping to get this scenario covered in emby... I don't want to deal with another server software... If I cant get it to work, I'll just go down to 5 tuners... but it would be nice to have this function, then I dont ever have to worry about running out of tuners...
MSattler 389 Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 Check out xTeVe. It presents m3u's as a HDHomerun tuner to Plex or Emby. You would probably need to run 2 instances of xTeVe, one for each account, and then let Emby combine them as it does a HD Homerun tuner. https://xteve.de/ If you need to jump in the Discord, the developer is actually really helpful! 4

Did I miss that suggestion already? It might be a temp fix. Emby is pretty light-weight.
Carlo 4552 Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 I was coming back to this thread to mention exactly what @@MSattler just recommended. Xteve has been getting good marks from Plex users for getting IPTV into plex as they have no internal method (unlike Emby) to handle IPTV at all. You could setup two instances of xteve (separate ports on same computer) or same port on two different computers each with your IPTV listing setup. Emby will then see these two xteve instances as "HDHomeRuns and should do it's normal "combining magic" just like it would real HDHomeRuns. Xtieve is basically an HDHomeRun emulator. This should be your cleanest approach right now and definitely worth trying.
Carlo 4552 Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 Why not just 2 Emby Servers? Did I miss that suggestion already? It might be a temp fix. Emby is pretty light-weight. That would be doable but would make scheduling a real pain in the butt.
EODCrafter 181 Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) How can you bypass these requirements for Xteve? Plex Media Server (1.11.1.4730 or newer) Plex Client with DVR support Plex Pass M3U list from your provider Does Emby "just work" with this? I want to test this....

MSattler 389 Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 Same Here....I think it reads them all as DRM. Odd, I tried this a while back and it worked, it just saw xTeVe as a HD Homerun tuner. I'll try and set this up on my test box again. But I did have xTeVe running with Emby. Pir8te, did you make sure to map the channels? There is that feature, you can map the channels to the epg. Thanks, Marcus
EODCrafter 181 Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 Pretty sure I did everything right......
ebr 15663 Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 XteVe is only just now working on support for Emby... @@marmei
marmei 37 Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) Version 1.1.1 of sTeVe is not yet compatible with Emby. @@Luke has given me helpful information about the Emby HDHomeRun integration so xTeVe will be available for Emby in the next release. The xTeVe mapping and the XEPG file are completely taken over by Emby. There are only 2 steps to use xTeVe as a proxy for Emby. 1. Set up HDHomeRun tuner with the DVR IP:Port of xTeVe 2.

But i would need a way for emby to know there are 5 streams on each hdhomrun. its just so messy lol... i dont know... I'll probably do the two xTeVe thing until emby figures it out, but i still dont know if emby will know what to do with an hdhomrun that has 5 tuners. so none of this may work for me.. boo... :-)

Under FreeBSD I can start xTeVe with specification of the home directories for the user of several instances of xTeVe. Only the port must be different for each instance. In the Discord channel #faq is my FreeBSD autostart script there is the home folder specified under the xTeVe stores the settings. Maybe it will also help you with your configuration. 1

Senna 368 Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 Off topic: Finally I can make a direct comparison in transcoding performance, for the startup times loading encrypted DVB-C channels on the Apple TV 4K when I feed my DVBLink/TVMosaic DVB-C m3u to Emby and PLEX (with xTeVe). What a huge difference (in big favour of PLEX) in start up times when loading a DVB-C channel and what a nice surprise to see the grid guide on the Apple TV 4K with PLEX. I know, the Emby tvOS app is getting an MPV overhaul , but until that is final, xTeVe is a welcome companion to see how other packages perform (still using MrMC mainly for the Apple TV 4K) 1
Luke 40067 Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 We have a stream sharing feature. We can always remove that and then Emby will have improved startup time.

We like stream sharing.. So what if it takes a few seconds to start up a stream.. I think 90% of people would rather have a stable stream, and stream sharing vs a quick start time clients eating multiple tuners and sketchy playback. Edited October 21, 2018 by pir8radio 1

Sharing is Caring Nifty having channel Groups VIA XTeVe, did it work for you in your problem? Edited October 21, 2018 by EODCrafter
