pwpeplowski 0 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Hi, I am trying to load the best guide data for my server and when I add my zipcode 12020 the only guide data that comes up seems to be for an older cable provider and not Spectrum who I have. Also even when I use the old cable provider it only shows the over the air channels avialable. Am I missing something? thanks, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37067 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Hi there, what lineup did you select? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwpeplowski 0 Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 Luke, it was the charter cable company I believe. I am not home right now to verify sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwpeplowski 0 Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 Luke, Sorry for the delay I just got home today. I am using the "Charter Spectrum- Digital (Saratoga Springs) guide data and there are no other cable channels except the local over the air channels "TBS" and the shopping networks when I look at the guide. no other Cable stations show up! USA-NY31619-L is what it says it is. I really need to know if there is something I am doing wrong with media center dropping the guide at the end of the month I want to secure another way to keep recording my shows Any help would be greatly appreciated!

ebr 14913 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Are you saying the channels you expect aren't showing up at all even in the channels view? if so, that is not governed by the guide data. That is governed by what channels your tuner is advertising as available. Are the missing channels encrypted by your provider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwpeplowski 0 Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 EBR, yes the channels are not showing in any view I am not sure if they are encrypted by Spectrum but they do show-up in windows media center. is there a way to check to see if they are? Also TBS is showing which is odd as it is considered a cable channel. thanks, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwpeplowski 0 Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 I just went into mapping and when I hit edit all of the channels are there to select they are just not being shown in the guide view at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37067 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Because your TV tuner does not have these channels available for viewing. What kind of TV tuner are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwpeplowski 0 Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 Happaugue HD homerun dual tuner. Just so you are aware the current media center requires a cisco STA1520 to allow the media center to get the cable channels. is this an issue using EMBY?

Luke 37067 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 No, it's not an Emby issue. What you need to do is open the HD Homerun web interface. Make sure the channels are listed there and not marked as DRM, and then Emby will import them. Are they listed there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwpeplowski 0 Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 They are marked DRM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37067 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Ok, it works in Windows Media Center because Microsoft has a special license with cable allowing them to do that. We do not have this and therefore it will not work natively with Emby Server. But...you could keep it going with Windows Media Center, install the ServerWMC software, and then the ServerWMC plugin for Emby and this might allow it to work. It's a more complicated approach and will require you to keep WMC around because it will route everything through WMC, but it should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwpeplowski 0 Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 how do I go about doing that is there a blog or link in the forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37067 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 It's three steps: install the ServerWMC software, and get this working independently of Emby Server Install and configure the server wmc plugin for Emby Refresh the guide data in emby Since ServerWMC is third party software, we don't specifically have a guide for it here, but I'm sure they do on their website.
