Just upgraded from 0.9.6 to 0.9.9.

My settings are still the same, but all series channels are no longer populated - even after several EPG runs. Did I miss something?

0.9.9 or 0.9.9.1 ?

Trying to take the next step with this plugin with custom made channel bumbers 😎 ...but I need som help.

Are bumpers not working for playback method playlist?
Can't get it to work with any method though. See the step by step I've have done. What am I missing?

  • Created a new library with type "Home videos & photos" and made sure the bumper video have been imported correctly
  • Under "Users" -> "Access" disabled the library access for my user
  • On the channel config under "Optional folder with bumpers/commercial videos:" added the path to the folder of the library above 
  • Saved following values for the bumpers:
    Minimum videos: 1
    Maximum videos: 1
    Minimum bumpers: 1
    Maximum bumpers: 1

Some guidance making this work is really appreciated!

Plugin version? Errors in the log at the time of the guide refresh? Does the channel at least play the correct videos beside the missing bumpers?

Thanks for looking into this! 
I can see no errors in the log at all and the plugin version is 0.9.9.0. Please let me know if you want to take a look at the logs yourself.

The channel content plays fine but when starting the channel the player briefly shows a black screen with the correct title of the episode that is in the TV Show guide but after maybe 3 seconds it skips to a completely another one but seems to play normal after that... and no bumper.

If I however remove the bumper path in the config and do a guide refresh the correct episode plays compared to the TV Guide. I've attached screens of my setup.

Does the correct show play in Continous Playback mode? Do bumpers work in Continous Playback mode? (Bumpers are always at the end of a show) What is the average duration of the shows from this channel?

Yes, it gives me the correct episode compared to the tv guide and the bumper actually seem to work as well!I Could swear it didn't before. The episodes are all aprox 10-20 minutes long.

Is it possible to make it work with playlist method as well as most of my channel are configured like this because of stuttering otherwise?

0.9.9.

I updated some hours before you published 0.9.9.1. Is there any difference in that regard?

Beside the problem with the false video at playback start, it should already.

Then I am really confused. Ive tried everything I can think of with different settings, videos and channels and it doesn't seem to want to work when in Playlist mode. Is there anything I can do to find the cause or am I just out of luck? 😕

I prepare a test version for you tomorrow that solves the video start issue and ads some extra logging around bumpers.

Heres a question. Does Anyone have any bumpers they can help me out with ? I see the pseudotv bumpers but if Anyone has any bumpers that said maybe EmbyTV or VirtualTV that would be great. I would make my own but I stink at video/graphics editing lol

 

Thanks in advance

Running the latest Android TV app on a Shield Pro with the latest plugin version and any time I play a playlist-mode channel it's just a black screen with a negative counting timecode. It plays properly on my iPhone.

Edit: problem was no web socket headers in reverse proxy config

Quick Question. Is there anyway to export to m3u and xml to run through tivimate ? I have that app and it works but then cuts off and stops working.

I keep getting the "no guide data available" issue as well. 

But all info is available under the channels view, correct? I've found out that if you scroll into the future of the guide view, the info of future shows will pop up. Now go back in the timeline and also current shows will pop up. Anyway it's an app problem, not a plugin problem!

If it's working in one app but not the other, there's nothing i can do. Sometimes it helps to delete the device from the device list and restart Emby.

Are you really asking this or what is the problem?

Turns out this had nothing to do with the device itself and everything is working great now.

Edit: Problem was no websocket entries in the reverse proxy.

Oh then it's a missconfiguration of your reverse proxy obviously. Either in general or only for websockets. I would ask for help in the general forum area.

Yup, you got it exactly. Added websocket upgrades in the header and everything works great. Thanks.
