IkeTaylor11 60 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I am using xTeVe to emulate HDHR. I add each instance into Emby as an HDHR. I have read in the forums that Emby has the ability to use all HDHR devices in sequence and not duplicate channel numbers. Wondering if this is actually correct and how Emby decides which HDHR to use first? Setup: tuner 1 added to emby as HDHR - xteve as HDHR - localhost:34400 tuner 2 added to emby as HDHR - xteve as HDHR - localhost:35400 tuner 3 added to emby as HDHR - xteve as HDHR - localhost:36400 All 3 tuners have channel 009.0, will this show up as 3 separate channels in the Live TV section or do they get combined into a single channel? Does the order in which I add the tuners into Emby dictate which streams get used first? I have xteve setup as 4 tuners per instance and using them in PMS mode so Emby supplies the EPG data The way this is all configured i should be able to open 12 streams before i would get the "no tuners available" message, correct?

Luke 37062 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Yes that's correct, it's the order the tuners were added in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IkeTaylor11 60 Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share Posted September 17, 2019 Yes that's correct, it's the order the tuners were added in. Ok for testing purposes I set each instance of xteve to 1 tuner. I started a stream on 1 device which used up the stream from tuner 1. I then tried to open the next stream on a different device and Emby tried to use the same xteve hdhr instance, resulting in an error saying i was out of streams. Is Emby not storing the tuner count information and automatically roll to the next hdhr when the first tuner is used up? I have my channel names and ID's exactly the same in each tuner instance and have no way of telling if Emby is actively mapping both channels in the Live TV section. Seems like it is only using the 1st channel found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37062 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 It tries and moves onto the next in the event of failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IkeTaylor11 60 Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share Posted September 17, 2019 It tries and moves onto the next in the event of failure. It doesn't appear to be doing this. How can I verify if channels from both hdhr are being imported into Emby? How do I tell Emby how many tuners each HDHR has, there isn't a stream limit when you choose HDHR as source in Emby.

IkeTaylor11 60 Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) @@Luke I just want to make sure we are talking about the same thing. Let me explain from an HDHR prespective. If I own 2 HDHR Connect Quatros (4 tuners each) and have them both on my network with the same channels. I can add each device into Emby as an HDHR device. This would mean I have 8 available tuners to use, 4 tuners from each HDHR Quatro. Does Emby automatically handle all 8 tuners to be able to roll to the next Quatro when the first one has all 4 tuners in use? This is what I am trying to accomplish with the xteve HDHR devices. with 3 instances running i have 4 tuners for each instance which should give me a total of 12 tuners to use. Emby doesn't appear to be rolling to the next xteve instance once all 4 streams from the first instance are used though.

Luke 37062 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Each m3u tuner you import is unique and they will not merge. It's something we plan to give you better control over in the near future. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shocker 113 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I'm heaving the same issues. 3 tuners with HDHomeRun and channel id is grouped in Emby (I only see one channel). After exhausting all the free slots on tuner 1 there is no stream moved to tunner2 or 3. Also, there is no error in the log file. @@Luke @@marmei With the new version of xTeVe v2.0 the new feature of "stream buffering" has been added. I think displaying on xTeVe that no streams are available it doesn't fail on Emby to know that the stream needs to be moved on the next available tuner. Can this be the case?
