Emby has two plugins folders! Make sure it's the correct one - for Windows it is under "programdata". For non Windows operating systems i don't know the path, but i know you have to give attention to the file permissions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But obviously you did not clear your browser cache after updating, otherwise you would see the Preview feature. So please clear the cache and tell me if the preview shows the correct result.

I see the preview option now I know where to look, I just hadn't dug into the options previously. The preview looks fine but the EPG is showing premieres.

With that option enabled the program is cached to a file with the first guide refresh. Every consecutive guide refresh will not generate new program data, instead the cache file is used until no more data is available. To delete the cache file for all channels, use the "Force Guide Refresh" button in the plugin. To delete the cache file for a single channel, just disable the option for that channel and hit save. After that you can enable the option again and the next normal guide refresh will generate new data. In a future version i will try to auto-delete the cache if any change was done to a channel config, but currently it is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusher11 854 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 So if it's cached, it'll play through each item available to that channel once, before ever repeating anything? Is that also related to why things from my VTV channels are showing up in Live TV>Programs>Movies when they didn't previously? I used to be able to go to that screen, sort by airdate descending, and most of it would just be genuine TV content. Now, VTV-channel movies are showing up even at the top of that list.

Not exactly. I've limited the cache file to the number of days to download guide data. 3 hours ago, crusher11 said: Is that also related to why things from my VTV channels are showing up in Live TV>Programs>Movies when they didn't previously?

I'm sorry to ask you, but now she wants to know if you have any ideas on timelines I cannot give you a timeline, i can only say i have it already working for Playlist playback. But there's one thing that gives me headaches. Who's watched state should be used, from the account that is playing the channel or from the user of the channel config? Let's say we have 5 different Emby user. Case #1: Watched state of the "playback user" is tracked If one of the five users never watches a specific series, the series will be shown in the guide for eternity. Not ideal, but acceptable. Big problem is, with Continuous playback i do not know who is playing the channel until the playback has started in the client. But then it's already to late! I'm evaluating some workarounds for this. Case #2: Watched state of the "channel user" is tracked If one of the five users watches a specific series everytime it is shown in the epg, the other users that watch the channel only at random times will miss many episodes. Defeats the idea of playing unwatched episodes in order, but is "easy" to implement for all playback modes. Possible solution: Now that we have unlimited channels, i could provide a button to duplicate channels and an input field to define Tags for a channel. This way an admin could allow or block certain channels for different users and the "channel user" watched state could be used for the special playback feature. Of course, more channels will extend the guide refresh time. What do you think? @Dibbes@HeroHabit Edited January 26 by pünktchen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would also offer some flexibility if, say, one of my users absolutely hates The Office, I can just not show them channels that have that show. You'd be my hero if this became a part of your already great plugin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibbes 431 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 (edited) Not sure of what I'm saying now is even possible or makes any sense at all, but how about combining these two options? If you use the logged in user, the user that actually starts playback of that channel, the moment time-shift is activated, a channel (or playlist) is created that only that user can see in the EPG (or shown in another library, like playlists/DVR/Recordings or even continue watching and is not shown to other users to avoid cluttering up the EPG for every user. The reason I think this should be doable is that every user already has their own playstates and playlists can be made private... Maybe a future addition would be then to export that playlist/channel or make it available to other users... I do like the idea of taggable channels, but that seems even more complicated, at least for the admin Edited January 26 by Dibbes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would you start playback of the channel if it is not visible to the user beforehand? But the visibility can be achived with tags restrictions. I'm not sure if Emby somehow allows to block items by their internal id. That would simplify things a little bit.

Dibbes 431 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Why would it not be visible to this user when it was specifically created for this user alone? Either way, if that's the case, can the item not be auto tagged upon creation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TZTZoro 10 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 i personally vote that if a user is watching something is marked as watched on the server side user/playback user and with movies if the movie is not watched it gets a negative score and is just a bit less likely to get back in the rotation i like the idea of a per user generated tv channel kind of idea but what would the impact be on the guide refresh issue in 4.8? and what about the people who prefer that people can watch in sync and use it maybe to watch stuff in sync(not me i am all for personal channels) also may i ask which features do work and which do not work in 4.8 currently? because i very much dislike of testing it because my refreshes can hang for a long time... musicvideos/mixedcontent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrianlive 6 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Hey there, I need some help here. First here is what I have: Emby 4.8.0.75 is running on a NAS Synology DS718+ (OS 7.2) (with HW acceleration), the VAAPI driver is enabled and I can see hardware acceleration working with Emby. I have an HD HomeRunFlex4K configured for OTA local channels and I'm using the VirtualTV plugin with the latest version. My media and live tv from the HDHomeRun Live TV play smoothly both locally and remotely, the problem I'm having is with the VirtualTV channels when using the Playlist Live (or Archive Live) mode option, which it smoothly on my AppleTVs, iOS and Web portal, but not on my Roku, either when using it locally or remotely. If I switch to Continuous Live Playlist it works on the Roku. Any idea why this is happening? the local test of using direct stream is attached, but this is the same behavior I see when I use a Roku from a remote location. Thanks. ffmpeg-directstream-7e0087c9-12ea-4324-853a-77b139bd6d96_1.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zander3768 15 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Others have had that issue in this thread too. You might be able to find them somewhere i the 100+ pages. I also use Roku TV's and have had this similar issue but I was able to get it to (sometimes) play properly using Playback Method: Playlist (Live). It sometimes just exits the Emby app all together returning to the Roku home screen, but other times it closes it then immediately re-opens the Emby app & plays it like it should. It is odd behavior but from what I experienced, it seems to be just Roku. I think its just limitations with coding on Roku (I hear its very different than most other things ) Sorry I can't be of more help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pünktchen 1259 Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 @adrianlive @Zander3768 Both Playlist playback modes do only work in a LAN environment for Rokus. It's a limitation of the Roku devices, not the Emby app or plugin! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
