Connect tv guide with Emby

[ashwin15 2]

I have a tv guide of my own....like schedule direct or xml tv, I want to connect it with emby and sync channels so that I can play using my own guide.

[ashwin15 2]

I have a Hd home run device connected with emby and I am wondering how emby sync with scheduledirect tv guide and Hd home run device so when I click on a show through live tv it gets broadcasted.

Thank you for responding quickly but I am not looking for the information that you have provided. I want to know that how emby connects a program id with any tv guide. So that when a person clicks on a program emby knows which program to play.

[Luke 40144]

First it matches the channels, and then it uses that to extract the programs per channel from the guide data.

[ashwin15 2]

Okay got your point but while inspecting channels and programs through emby guide they have different channel id and program id then both of schedule direct and hd home run.

Hi there, can you please describe your issue in more detail? Thanks.

Thanks for your time Luke... Below is my query in detail

I have an HD home run device which is connected to my home router and tuner. Now using Emby when its connected to Schedule Direct TV guide the channels from lineup.json of HD home run gets auto mapped with station id's of Schedule Direct and then using Schedule Direct API will get the programs and the metadata of program, up to this  process I am clear.

 

Now I want to know how Emby uses these channels & programs and display them on TV Guide screen so that when a person clicks on it they will be played because when inspected any program grid then channel id and program id is different from that of Schedule Direct or lineup.json

[Luke 40144]

Right, those are internal IDs generated by emby, but the mappings are in the database.

[ashwin15 2]

Thanks for clearing this up Luke. Can you please tell me where can I find the database

[Luke 40144]

Why do you want to go into the database?

[ashwin15 2]

I want to know how can I use emby apis to get live streaming because I do not have emby generated ids

[Luke 40144]

Have you explored our api wiki?

 

https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby/wiki

 

Thanks.

[ashwin15 2]

Yes I did but I am not sure how can I play live tv with the help of those api(s)

[Luke 40144]

Are you building an app?

Hi Luke & Ashwin

Thanks for the updates you have shared here. Wiki content is really helpful.

[ashwin15 2]

@@Luke Yes I am building an hybrid app which uses emby api for live streaming

[Luke 40144]

Can you tell us how far you have gotten into video streaming so far? 

[ashwin15 2]

I have authenticated users using API key authentication and able to get programs, channels of connected user. But as of now the user id which I have used have schedule direct and hd home run already configured through browser.

 

I do not want users to go out of app to do anything. According to app scenario users will add their pincode through the app only and then they will be able to see tvguide within the app and live streaming of programs will also be available within the app.

 

This link - https://github.com/MediaBrowser/emby-web-mobile is provided in documentation of emby for web client development but it is not working.

 

Please let me know if there is any way I can connect schedule direct and hd home device within the app and how can I live stream programs within the app.

No, that is done within the server dashboard, not the individual apps.

Did you look at the video streaming portion of the wiki?

[ashwin15 2]

Yes I did, what I get is that I have to send an UDP message to get an Id and that Id will be used here /Video/{Id}/stream for video streaming. Right?

 

If it's not the case then what does this id mean and how can I play a channels using video streaming api.

Hello Luke,

 

Thanks for helping out. I am just going through emby code looking for translation id table so that I can use those id(s) in my application. Can you please tell me where I can find translation table and how it is remapped.
