@hstamasAre you still using Emby For Kodi Next Gen?

No - Ive moved away from that a long time ago. Just official apps now.

Mmh, that's bad. Of course as a first step, you could enable debug logging in Emby and the plugin. Rotate the log file, just watch one single episode and send me the log file via pm.

 

It comes back even if you don't watch something with VirtualTV?

Yeah it all comes back. I only use Emby now to dabble as I have moved back to Plex for the time being. I keep checking in hopes that Emby will get the whole Apple TV thing straightened out. I just looked at my Continue Watching list after not touching Emby since before the weekend and all those partials are back including the 3-4 movies I mentioned.

And there's no way for this behavior not to happen?

Use Private Mode, different browser profiles or even different browsers on the same machine alltogether...

I may be wrong (and @Lukeor @ebrcorrect me here if I am), but I think this is by design as to not use up the device count in a hurry just because you have 15 tabs open...

Hi All,

 

Can I somehow manually change or set the schedule ?

Like I want to set certain shows to play at certain time.

And any way to have shows built up from season 1 episode 1 and always the next episode following in the schedule ?

At the moment I have a totally randomized list of shows.

Haha. You're not the first one asking for this. I'd like to add this at some point, but currently i still don't know how to do it. Everytime somebody asks for this, it gives me sleepless nights.

What about if we were able to select shows / Movies to build some type of playlist and specify a certain to programme to start at a certain time like the prime time option?

As a first step I could be happy with a very lightweight solution, like adding days and time as tags. And based on those tags the script could populate the play list. 

Actually I just want to define some main Blocks for the kids. Like on every day start the same series next episode at 8.00 pm. The rest of the schedule could be random. 

The main issue obviously how to fill the schedule between the defined time blocks if there is no content with matching length.

This happens even if I have the dashboard open

@hstamasTrakt plugin?

Yeah I was thinking the same thing although Ive been using Trakt unchanged for years and this just started happening. I am in the process of testing with it disabled and will report back.

Its definitely the Trakt plugin so thanks for the input @pünktchen. Something isn't right with it as I checked Trakt to make sure a movie was fully watch there and as soon as I synced the plugin the move gets marked partially watched. Same with the handful of TV episodes which led me to think it was VirtualTV doing it.

In the v4.8 Emby (v2.2.0.0 VirtualTV plugin), how can I prevent the guide from going empty after a time? In Emby v4.7, there was a "Suspend creation..." option that caused me issues when I didn't understand it. In v4.8, the configuration is different butI still have issues. I have the 'Cache program data until tv guide runs empty' enabled, but still my guide runs empty. I also have guide refresh occurring twice weekly. If I do a 'Force Refresh Guide Data', it'll populate the show for two full weeks, running the entire series in order multiple times (which I like). But, it stops doing that and eventually the guide runs out like the image below. Do I need to refresh the guide more often? 

I have logging turned on, is there someplace I can check in the log to see why the whole schedule appears to stop?

Yes. Preferably every day. Because that’s what the “Cache program data” option is all about. It allows you to refresh guide data for real live tv without creating new program data in the VirtualTV plugin until it is realy needed.

Great, I can refresh every day. But, how does the plugin know when "it is really needed"? In my case, the guide did a refresh Saturday evening (see above, "last ran 2 days ago") ...why didn't it create program data for Monday and beyond?

Any chance of getting the channel logos as an overlay into the stream? Or am I missing something. Currently running in Playlist Playback Mode.

@pünktchenawesome work since last time i checked the plugin out in 2022.

At the time of the guide refresh, the plugin checks if the program cache file has enough data for the next 48 hours. If not, then new data is added to the cache. But this new data is used with the next guide refresh, not the current one.

A plugin cannot alter any Emby GUI. So the only way to do this would be to burn the logo into the video. I don't think anybody wants transcoding to happen just for the "channel logo overlay".

I'm unsure how or why but the only method I can use to watch Live TV via this app is through the new BETA feature Native (Achieve). The new plugin from the BETA version of Emby I downloaded from the Plugin Library is very fast - extremely impressed and really took my Dashboard to the next level. I re-created my fav TV Channels this way.

A major thanks to the dev! I even setup bumpers (commercials from the 90's) to re-create the virtual mock-up of 90's style channels. Love it!!!!
