EODCrafter 179 Posted October 29, 2018 Author Share Posted October 29, 2018 (edited) The xTeVe M3U export can now also be selected by group title. This makes it possible in Emby to create multiple M3U tuner from xTeVe. The group titles can be changed in xTeVe (mapping). Example: M3U tuner 1: http://xteve.ip:port/m3u/xteve.m3u?group-title=group1,group2 M3U tuner 2: http://xteve.ip:port/m3u/xteve.m3u?group-title=group3 Not sure if I follow what the use of this would be unless it's just for a HDHR setup which I do not have. @@marmei I'm using XTeVe with a (1) IPTV Service to add a more manageable Guide and Group Filters to my Live TV. This would benefit someone with Multiple HDHR Tuners? Edited October 29, 2018 by EODCrafter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcol 165 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) Not working for me. No channels in the map channel drop down. Trying to use PMS with Emby 3.6 beta. How do you use this with PMS? Any yes, xteve is running Edited December 20, 2018 by dcol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceboy 2485 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Just want to add my appreciate for xteve. Solved all the current shortcomings in emby live tv. I even have xteve providing updated channel names for live sports events with some PS scripts I wrote . This has completed emby for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcol 165 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) I am lost with xteve and there isn't any useful documentation. Trying to use the Emby 4.x Gracenote Guide with xteve. I assume I need to use PMS if I want to use the Emby guide data. The xteve settings states using PMS uses Emby EPG data. How do I set that up? Do I need a PMS ID? Or is that not relevant? How do I edit the m3u in xteve to only include the channels I want in Emby using the built-in Gracenote xml data?

Write in detail with screenshots what you already have done in your Xteve setup and point us, in those screenshots, what you don't get configured instead of only stating that you don't get it with Xteve. That will help us pointing you in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceboy 2485 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I can give some direction but I’m using an xmltv file from SD via epg123. I’m using 3 lineups from SD to get US UK and Canada epg. I’m not going to BS and say this wasn’t a good deal of effort but, as live tv is why I use emby, it was worth it IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcol 165 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) Ok, great. I entered the URL of the IPTV URL stream in xteve playlist. And set the filter to 1 which selected 64 streams from the 235 available Reading this thread I used the HDHR tuner choice in Emby TV Sources using 192.168.1.2:34400 which is the IP of xteve Now that did seem to bring in the IPTV streams. Now, how do I edit the channel list in xteve so Emby only sees the channels I want? See pics below Edited January 20, 2019 by dcol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmei 37 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 The functions of xTeVe are actually all described in the web interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcol 165 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Ok, I will use XEPG, but what do I use for the XMLTV file if I want to use the Emby Gracenote data. Or do I use the supplied IPTV's XML? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmei 37 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 XEPG is intended for provider XMLTV files. If you want to use Emby EPG, you can also use Emby's M3U feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcol 165 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) I did use the providers XML and deleted the unwanted channels from the filter, changed the Source to the xteve.xml and that works. PMS also worked but without any editing. Emby took the whole thing. Not sure how I would use the Emby XML Gracenote EPG if I had to.

marmei 37 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 PMS works without EPG data in xTeVe, since the whole channel management makes Emby or Plex. That's why you can not edit channels. And because the editing of channels in Plex is shitty, XEPG has been developed. How Gracenote is set up, I do not know. I am using the xteve.xml file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcol 165 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) I do have an issue using the providers XML as it seems to be missing a lot of channels I want that should be there. Another-words, the providers XML is incomplete, so I need to use Emby's EPG. How do I do that. Anyone know? And yes the streams are there, just the corresponding XML data is missing from the provider. Edited January 20, 2019 by dcol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmei 37 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 For missing channels you can use the xTeVe dummy (mapping menu). Whether you can exchange the channels then in Emby with Gracenote data, I do not know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senna 366 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Based on the info you provided dcol, it seems you only need a plain m3u editor (online or local) or Notepad++ to edit your m3u with only the channels you need. Why don't you use that and feed Emby your edited m3u, because you said you only wanted to use Emby EPG data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcol 165 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 For now I am using epg123 to get the missing data, but I would like to eventually eliminate all external programs and I won't be able to use epg123 after my SD subscription expires. Ideally there should be a way for xteve to use Emby's EPG for mapping. Or Emby needs to release their advanced channel mapping. Next I am going to tackle using multiple m3u's with multiple guides. I am using Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senna 366 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 If you are already using SD for the missing data, why don't you prepare multiple m3u's with an m3u editor (or Notepad++) and use Emby to create multiple m3u tuners, each with its own guide provider in Emby (SD or Gracenote). That should not be complicated or am I missing something ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EODCrafter 179 Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) You can Re-Map any channels you want using the "Emby Guide". I use xTeVe exclusively for Guide Data and tried it just to test for you and it took about 4 steps....Of course in xTeVe, in the Mapping Interface, and using XEPG Guide selection, you want to make sure all the channels that you want are "Activated" (Green indicator on left in Mapping Interface) (If you don't want to assign any Guide info in xTeVe, Use the Bulk Edit Feature and assign "Dummy" Guide info to all the channels). 1) Select + 2) Select Emby guide 3) Select Country and ZipCode 4) Map Channels Edited January 21, 2019 by EODCrafter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcol 165 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I have successfully mapped 2 M3U's each with unique Group titles. Using the dummy XML is useful adding channels. I am also going to try again using the providers XML with dummy XML's to fill the gaps. I would prefer eventually to not have to use any external programs especially online ones. Got burned with iptv-epg.com going down and not returning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcol 165 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Right off the bat I can't see any way to map a channel using the xmlDummy. The channel name shows a time frame. How do you use this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcol 165 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Ok, I get it. I can set it to anytime period, then map it in Emby with Gracenote. That will eliminate needing epg123 and a subscription to SD. The bulk edit helps in setting the XMLTV File and ID to all the channels I want. I set the File to xTeVe Dummy and the ID to 120_minutes. Then in Emby, I set the TV Guide Data to Emby Guide Data and use the Dish Satellite data. Then I have to map all the channels that Emby didn't auto map. Done. Do I need to leave xteve running for it to schedule an update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
