eric859 1 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 My m3u list is customized to have my channels in the order I want them in. Emby doesn't recognise the m3u list order as the default channel order. Is there a way to do this? Is there any other way to order your channels in Emby?

Luke 37113 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 They are currently going by channel number. We plan to expand our channel management features in a future update to give you more control over this. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocky_mtn 4 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Meanwhile, use xteve. Works nicely. Filter out channels you don't want, re-number channels to anything you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocky_mtn 4 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 If I can do it, it's super simple. On Windows anyhow. Give me a shout if you need any help. It really is an awesome program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you using this for IPTV or perhaps multiple HDHR channel management? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky_mtn 4 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Are you using this for IPTV or perhaps multiple HDHR channel management? Both, there's a script that CodeMonkey wrote on the xteve discord channel that allows full channel management on HDHomerun devices through xteve and generates an M3U from your HDHR tuners. You just have to have your own xml file. Pretty cool stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacotec 7 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I'm using TVHeadend as my Live TV server. It works like a charm with Emby using the "Live TV" feature pointing to the dynamic m3u channel list of TVH. Even new channels are finding their way into Emby without any manual action. It's much more stable than using the TVH plugin. Channel sorting is still an issue, my workyround is to enter the channel number which my TVH is using in the "Sorting title" in the meta data of the channel in Emby. That gives me my original TVH channel order as I see them in any Kodi clients or in TVH itself. But any change (new channels, order changes in TVH) must be also done manually in Emby. It's a bit a pain in the neck. I'm asking myself why Emby does not simply automatically copy the channel number from the dynamic M3U list into the "Sorting title" metadata of each channel when it parses the list. That shouldn't be the biggest task as it already does this perfectly with the title and URL from the list. The channel numbers are all in the "tvg-chno" field for each channel. When checking the M3U link periodically: Get it, copy it, done. And we are happy people #EXTM3U #EXTINF:-1 logo="http://10.0.6.2:9981/imagecache/11" tvg-id="b3f4ded6166631d93ff4716a66f6bfa6" tvg-chno="1",Das Erste http://10.0.6.2:9981/stream/channelid/1457452211?profile=pass #EXTINF:-1 logo="http://10.0.6.2:9981/imagecache/7" tvg-id="b989a591b7c5c59531b8bfa0d45e600b" tvg-chno="2",ZDF http://10.0.6.2:9981/stream/channelid/296061369?profile=pass #EXTINF:-1 logo="http://10.0.6.2:9981/imagecache/14" tvg-id="1b86fe8c15e2bb086c3e8377c12212f7" tvg-chno="3",WDR Aachen|WDR Bielefeld|WDR Dortmund|WDR Duisburg|WDR Düsseldorf|WDR Essen|WDR Köln|WDR Münster|WDR Siegen|WDR Wuppertal http://10.0.6.2:9981/stream/channelid/218007067?profile=pass #EXTINF:-1 logo="http://10.0.6.2:9981/imagecache/31" tvg-id="a9c57263cb5930bfe1e289b599854acd" tvg-chno="4",SWR http://10.0.6.2:9981/stream/channelid/1668466089?profile=pass #EXTINF:-1 logo="http://10.0.6.2:9981/imagecache/32" tvg-id="fe9c4a4759fdb0aa8518d56ad7d32025" tvg-chno="5",RTL Television|RTL Austria|RTL HH SH http://10.0.6.2:9981/stream/channelid/1196072190?profile=pass #EXTINF:-1 logo="http://10.0.6.2:9981/imagecache/33" tvg-id="4d4a4db4252e2c247a2f994011d6241f" tvg-chno="6",SAT.1 http://10.0.6.2:9981/stream/channelid/877480525?profile=pass #EXTINF:-1 logo="http://10.0.6.2:9981/imagecache/35" tvg-id="18f9db3e152a4179a3c2de7a55ad529e" tvg-chno="7",ProSieben|ProSieben Austria| http://10.0.6.2:9981/stream/channelid/1054603544?profile=pass #EXTINF:-1 logo="http://10.0.6.2:9981/imagecache/37" tvg-id="be499cdae7c99bab5ddb3a2de22c6c3a" tvg-chno="8",RTL2 http://10.0.6.2:9981/stream/channelid/1520191934?profile=pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maegibbons 1267 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Use the channel-id="2001" tag in the m3u. This definately works with emby to assign the Cbhannel Number. Krs Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
