Have you created new channels between existing ones or changed channel numbers?

Gosh I am not sure. My original install that Ive been using for years got corrupted so I started over. In setting things up there is a chance I set a channel number then changed it later on.

I also so have 2 channels at number 815 and 816 that are not enabled if that could be causing issues?

Any way to fix this short of starting over again?

@pünktchenany thought of adding collections as a source?

Is there any easy way to put in a studio that encompasses all studios with similiar names, so instead of doing something like 
 

Walt Disney Animation Studios | Pixar Animation Studios | Marvel Studios | Lucasfilm | Pixar | Disney+ | Disney XD | Disney Channel | Disney Television Animation | DisneyToon Studios | 

I could just do something like

* disney *

So it picks up all studios containing Disney?

[amateurgod 27]

Also it seems it doesn't recognise Anime as a Genre. 

However if I go Into my Anime library and look at Genres Anime is listed as a genre, however putting this into the genres section of virtual TV and refreshing guide data doesn't add any shows to that channel

Hi.

First of all, thank you for a wonderful plugin! My cable-provider canceled the 24/7 movie channels, so this is exactly what I need.

It has been brought up before but not adressed. The plugin causes "too many streams" error on users with 1 stream limit.

Best Regards

Not yet, but it makes sense. At least for studios.

The plugin itself doesn't know any genre. It just filters the available genres that are provided by quering the Emby library. There must be some other condition that prevents building your channel.

Really? I don't know of any situation where the plugin is requesting multiple streams. I'll have to try it myself. If it doesn't work with stream limit 1 then it must be a bug in Emby.

@Molboenonly did a quick test, but experienced no problems. Under what conditions does the issue arise?

It seems to be exclusive to my Android boxes. I have a Chromecast with Google TV and 2x Nvidia Shield TV. All 3 with the same problem.

Emby web on Chrome and Edge and the Windows app works without any issues.

Really? I don't know of any situation where the plugin is requesting multiple streams. I'll have to try it myself. If it doesn't work with stream limit 1 then it must be a bug in Emby.

When one episode finishes and a new episode begins, Emby doesn't dump the first until after requesting the second, which draws an error. I solved it by simply bumping the allowed streams to 2.

[amateurgod 27]

So I used this with 3 Channels at first and everything worked fine, then I added another 10 channels and now I've noticed that when the scheduled task for refresh guide data runs it freezes at 15% and won't progress from there, it's been at 15% for the past 2 hours now and it's made everything else load really slow, I tried to manually stop the task but that didn't do anything it just sat on "stopping" and in the end I had to restart emby, does anyone know what could be causing this?

[amateurgod 27]

Addition to my last, using the restart button in the emby dashboard after the issues with the guide doesn't seem to restart the server like it use to, it just makes you not able to connect to the server and it doesn't become available again, I had to manually restart the docker container. 

These issues only started happening after I added another 10 channels to the virtualTV totaling 13 channels in total

Another issue:

The plugin does not honor "Include Library Folders" when multiple versions of a movie is merged into one library item.

A movie from my 4K folder is playing, but only my HD folder is selected.

It seems to be exclusive to my Android boxes. I have a Chromecast with Google TV and 2x Nvidia Shield TV. All 3 with the same problem.

It's more likely the Emby Android TV app is the culprit. Nothing i can do about it. Time to switch to the other Emby Android app.

In case of multiversion movies the client app decides what item to play. Both versions share the same library item id and that is what the plugin is requesting the client to play.

Too bad. What is this other app, you are talking about?

The one that is listed in the playstore of your smartphone. Just sideload it on your tv device: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/raw/master/android/emby-android-google-armeabi-v7a-release.apk

@pünktchennot sure if you've seen this? Library folders populate just fine for my existing channels, but don't appear when setting up new channels (or editing those new channels once set up).

also seeing this on beta. everything ok on stable. the user defeinitely has access to all libraries

[pünktchen 1259]

Yes, i see this also now in the latest beta. I've asked our master about the problem.

Edit: It should be resolved with the next server update he said.

FYI, i had reported a while back that Roku Emby was crashing when trying to use Playlist channels.    

I just solved my problem by going into the plugin settings and changing:
Playback options --> Playlist playback mode --> Intro Video container -->  "ts"  (previously it was Mp4)

after I did that no more crashing!

Been messing around with ErsazTV and although VirtualTV plugin is superior video quality wise (I use playlist mode) one thing he has set up is when having a channel that is set to randomly shuffle, it will not replay an episode until everything scheduled on that channel has played at least once.

I prefer to use the "random series/random episodes" setting for some of my channels in VirtualTV but the number of repeated plays is extreme.

I dont know if the shuffling is controlled by Emby itself or if the plugin controls it but I thought I would mention it just in case this is something that can be implemented.

Thanks!

I'm using this plugin and I have to say it is AMAZING!  Love the playback as playlist functionality.  This is probably a beta server version thing, so posting here might not be the right place... Using 4.0.8.32 I am having an issue tuning to any channels after this update.  I am using the playlist functionality with no transcoding.  I have this issue on the web browser and on Apple TV.  The app plays a black screen for around 60 seconds.
