EODCrafter 174 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Does anyone have a tutorial on solving this issue with NPVR? I heard it mentioned that this is a solution, but how exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooray4me 49 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 This is how we did it with TVHeadend... TVHeadEnd is co-located on the same server as Emby. The Emby server has a couple nics and I dedicated a nic and a small /29 network specifically for the the HDHomeRun Prime tuners. iface enp9s0f0 inet static address 10.50.3.249 netmask 255.255.255.248 broadcast 10.50.3.255 network 10.50.3.248 up ip route add 10.50.3.248/29 dev enp9s0f0 table enp9s0f0 up ip route add default via 10.50.3.254 dev enp9s0f0 table enp9s0f0 up ip rule add from 10.50.3.249/32 table enp9s0f0 up ip rule add to 10.50.3.249/32 table enp9s0f0 TVHeadend should see the tuners automatically. You’ll want to go into the tuners ahead of time and favorite the channels you want to see and X the ones you don’t… we filter out all non-HD channels. Next you need to create the base of your M3U file. We have 2 tuners so I need to create a file for each one… I name them temporarily with the serial number of the homerun so I can tell them apart and save it to the tmp directory echo "#EXTM3U" > /tmp/1323B05B.m3u | curl "http://10.50.3.250/lineup.xml"|sed 's/<GuideNumber>/#EXTINF\:<GuideNumber>/g' | sed 's/<\/GuideNumber>/\,<\/GuideNumber>/g' | sed -e 's/<[^>]*>//g' | sed 's/http/\ http/g' | sed 's/http/\nhttp/g' | sed 's/\&\;/\&/g' | sed 's/MPEG.*//' | sed 's/H264.*//' >> /tmp/1323B05B.m3u echo "#EXTM3U" > /tmp/1322A20B.m3u | curl "http://10.50.3.251/lineup.xml"|sed 's/<GuideNumber>/#EXTINF\:<GuideNumber>/g' | sed 's/<\/GuideNumber>/\,<\/GuideNumber>/g' | sed -e 's/<[^>]*>//g' | sed 's/http/\ http/g' | sed 's/http/\nhttp/g' | sed 's/\&\;/\&/g' | sed 's/MPEG.*//' | sed 's/H264.*//' >> /tmp/1322A20B.m3u Next download the files so you can edit them. The base of the file will look like this: #EXTM3U #EXTINF:701,WATL_HD http://10.50.3.251:5004/auto/v701 #EXTINF:702,WSB_ABC http://10.50.3.251:5004/auto/v702 #EXTINF:703,QVC HD http://10.50.3.251:5004/auto/v703 You will need to edit each one to get it into this format, I use notepad++ and excel #EXTINF:-1 tvh-chnum="701" m3u-name="WATL_HD",WATL_HD http://10.50.3.251:5004/auto/v701 #EXTINF:-1 tvh-chnum="702" m3u-name="WSB_ABC",WSB_ABC http://10.50.3.251:5004/auto/v702 #EXTINF:-1 tvh-chnum="703" m3u-name="QVC HD",QVC_HD http://10.50.3.251:5004/auto/v703 Next I save each file in a directory on the server named for its serial number and save it as lineup.m3u /home/hts/.hts/tvheadend/scan/1322A20B/lineup.m3u /home/hts/.hts/tvheadend/scan/1322B20B/lineup.m3u In TVheadend create a new IPTV Automatic Network for each tuner. After it scan each url that was included in the M3U it will create a MUX for it. Then you auto map the muxes to the service and it will create the channels 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In NextPVR can't you just take the 2nd M3U file and append it to the first file so it's twice as big. Then after importing it use the group function to combine them?

Then after importing it use the group function to combine them? I'll try that next time I'm on Windows.......I tried importing it by the m3u file (didn't import, just replaced other one). With all the channel names the same it may be out of the scope of NPVR. I had m3u1 and m3u2...added m3u1, then imported m3u2 and channels were only recognized from m3u2.

Even if I did I suspect it will be double channels which is the original problem we have. Edited January 22, 2019 by EODCrafter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senna 366 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) This is the functionality we're asking for and have been told that it will be coming this year. The only workaround I know is through TVHeadEnd. Good old DVBLink (from DVBLogic) has a perfect solution that I find the most easy, that even non-tech nerds can understand. It has a Channel Merge feature, where you can drag and drop channels of different sources (IPTV, DVB-C etc) into ONE Channel, where the user decides which channel source gets used FIRST by DVBLink when a user opens a channel. The order in this Merge List than decides which Source is used first. So with this you can have multiple sources of a channel that act as one, in whatever media software package you request the channel. Info button from screenshot: On this configuration tab you can merge channels from different signal sources. Merging channels from different sources into a single logical channel allows DVBLink Server to perform efficient tuner sharing among all its clients. The channels can be merged by dragging and dropping them on another channel or in automated way like merging by channel name or by channel number. DVBLogic says now, that from their software packages, TVMosaic is King, because DVBLink is End of Life and sales/support for DVBLink has been discontinued from January this year.... But to me DVBLink is still KING, because it has feature options (like Channel Merge from DIFFERENT sources and more) that are still MISSING in TVMosaic....
