jasonwilliams 26 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Hello, Quick question about the 3rd party Live TV plugins before I start trying to set one up: if you use a plugin instead of a native tuner, can you still use the Emby guide and PVR functionality? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 28698 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 No, everything runs through the third party software. Emby just becomes the display. Why would you want to do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 28698 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Well you could use next pvr to import into emby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonwilliams 26 Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 Would that allow me to use the native Emby guide and PVR functionality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 12455 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Would that allow me to use the native Emby guide and PVR functionality? If you set NextPVR up as an .m3u tuner, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonwilliams 26 Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) Intrigued. I'll give it a try. I know NextPVR will allow dual tuners, so fingers crossed. Thanks Guys! Edited July 18, 2019 by jasonwilliams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 28698 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 If you set NextPVR up as an .m3u tuner, yes. If you go this route you only need the next pvr software, not the next pvr plugin for Emby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonwilliams 26 Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 Hi All, As an update, I got both tuners working in NextPVR with the help of '] over at NextPVR. When I imported the first M3U tuner into Emby, all was working perfectly. I started running into trouble with the second tuner. At first, I just increased the stream limit to 2, but that just forced the second channel tuning event to take over the 1st tuner stream. Then I read this thread: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/56236-npvr-m3u-multiple-tuners/ Figured out you need to separate the channels by stream, so I used http://ipaddress:8866/channels?client=session1http://ipaddress:8866/channels?client=session2 to create two of each channel. Same behaviour. Then I tried the advice from the following post: You need make it look more like this#EXTM3U#EXTINF:0, 28 - Foxhttp://127.0.0.1:8866/live?channel=28&client=28#EXTINF:0, 185 - MSNBChttp://127.0.0.1:8866/live?channel=185&client=185Then in emby after add the m3u tuner edit it change Simultaneous stream limit: (Max number you have) so have 8 set it to 8 or what the case maybe be Last edited by shspvr; 2019-07-19 at 07:21 AM.

Spaceboy 1875 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Not sure I understand the current problem but I have emby successfully using 3 tuners through dvbviewer via the m3u method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
