ebr 14925 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Talking about Gracenote before it is even in beta is a tease guys. We can't win . When we keep quiet and just put things in beta, everyone is surprised and complains that they had no warning. We announce well ahead of time and people are upset that they can't have it now. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcol 165 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) In a way so am I since SD uses GN. But I want to see how Emby handles it. And there's talk there might be some extra features. Edited December 7, 2018 by dcol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmitty 61 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Could this be where HDHomeRun dvr gets data from as they have so many posters. I am disappointed with IceTV there are not many shows that have posters. You would think they would improved but nothing. I actually set up an IceTV subscription a few months ago, and was disappointed with the amount of rich metadata available. I managed to find an independent and open-source project called Shepherd, which takes a bit of manual setup and configuration... it actually scrapes data from various sources, instead of having to pay for a service which does that for you.

muppets4 23 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) No good and reliable XMLTV available here. Going to look for other solutions or media software I think. I use Webgrab plus as a xmltv grabber. It has a learning curve setting it up, but when you have done that it functions very well. I have not looked at it for six months now and al my guide data comes in. Edited December 8, 2018 by muppets4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
instantsunrise 3 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 (edited) For those of us who use NextPVR + SchedulesDirect as our TV backend, how will this affect us? Will Emby be generating an xml file somewhere that NPVR can grab for EPG listings? My concern here is that with my setup I have other applications that are using that common NPVR backend and I was wondering how they'd be affected.

I don't think it would affect that setup if you are using the plugin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37099 Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 Good news. If you switch from Schedules direct to this new guide data, then generally speaking your series recordings will still work just fine. That's mostly thanks to the fact that the data is largely the same. So it's nice that they won't have to be set up all over again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrbee99 1560 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Really think this new guide needs testing in the southern hemisphere. I mean, what if it comes out upside down or something 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekster 10 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I have been using it for Denmark. It isn't as rich as gracenote/sd but it does provide the basic epg data You've had a good experience with honeybee?

Eben 7 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 We value all of your feedback. Anytime is a good time to leave a suggestion and help us improve the software. Thanks. I have a suggestion. I use live tv and it is available to my sister as well when she uses Emby. The problem currently with the guide data is that the times are incorrect if she is in another time zone. It would be great if there be a way to shift the aired times in the guide for that user, so the times in their guide are correct for their time zone? Currently if there is a one hour difference, a show that the guide says is on at 9:00 would actually be done if they tried to watch it at 9:00 their time. I hope I'm being clear!

If your Guide provider is delivering your EPG data in UTC time format, than Emby client should deliver your sister the correct time format to match her local time. Correct @@Luke ?

Eben 7 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Correct. Thanks, I'll check some more into it. Maybe they didn't have the time zone set on their apple tv or they were confused! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technigogo 0 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 So I'm half-way through a 1 year subscription with SD, so when I have to switch to the Emby method, then I'll lose the value of the remainder of the subscription. Therefore, it's not just a cost to Emby, but everyone else that has a current SD subscription. An option to continue using SD should be in Emby for a period of 1 year from the date of the new functionality for current SD subscribers, but also not to allow any new SD subscribers from using it. We can all provide proof of our subscription to SD. Just curious how you can lose the value of something that is being replaced with something equal or better at no cost to you?
