gbosserman 0 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I'm trying to get live TV via an Happauge WinTV-quadHD tuner working and not having any luck (Win 7 SP1 computer). The tuner does work with Plex. Emby sees the card and I can setup the channel mappings and the guide info is pulled. When I try to view live tv (via browser) I get the spinning circle but then get the error message "Playback ErrorNo compatible streams are currently available. Please try again later or contact your system administrator for details." I've tried stopping Plex but it still will not play. I figure I've missed something in the setup but I'm not sure where to start looking. Attached are the latest embyserver.txt and ffmpeg-transcode...txt log files. I can provide any other info that may be needed. embyserver.txt ffmpeg-transcode-7d300f2e-43d4-4e2f-bc18-ee3857943a27_1.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37064 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Hi there, do you have win TV installed with the channel working there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37064 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 When you try to start playback, do you see temp files in the server's transcoding temp directory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHSPVR 119 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Did you disable buffer mode in WinTV if yes reset back 30min 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbosserman 0 Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 When you try to start playback, do you see temp files in the server's transcoding temp directory? I looked in C:\Users\HTPC\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\transcoding-temp\ and did not see any files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbosserman 0 Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 Did you disable buffer mode in WinTV if yes reset back 30min This fixed it!!! I hadn't changed it in WinTV but it was set to 0 (at least I don't remember changing it...). I changed to 30 and Live TV started working. Thanks Luke and SHSPVR for the help!

Luke 37064 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 That's very interesting, what does buffer mode do? Is it on by default? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHSPVR 119 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) That's very interesting, what does buffer mode do? Is it on by default? Write file for WinTV LiveTV Mode for pause or rewind or fast-forward That what emby hauppauge plugin relay on in stead of writing one direct recording file Edited January 31, 2019 by SHSPVR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37064 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Ah yes, thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbosserman 0 Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 Now that I think back, I think I did change it from 30 minutes to zero when I first started setting things up. I was having some performance problems with the computer and thought it might be disk IO. I ended up upgrading the CPU and memory (it was an older, home built PC). When using Plex, Live TV was using a lot of CPU, Emby seems to use a lot less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somedude 0 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Hello, I have a Hauppauge 2250 I'm having trouble getting to work. Would like to experiment with getting OTA to work with this, which is kind of exciting! Do I need WinTV? I currently have an old install of version 7. Server is on Win7, same machine as hosts WMC (which does see and use the tuner) if that matters. Might be able to find the disc, but don't know if it's still around. Do I need a newer version? Just keeps not detecting this tuner in Emby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
