WeidnerJ 4 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I have two HDHomeRun tuners connected to a Emby server (Synology NAS), that have overlapping channel numbers. When setting up the two tuners, I specified to different EPG locations which worked, but when I manually go into the mappings, only one tuner will have a the overlapping channels listed, and the other tuner channel listing won't list the overlapping channels - and when there isn't any conflict of overlapping channel numbers, those channels are listed without any issues. So say I have a channel 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, and 4.4 in one market and 4.1 and 4.2 in another, one guide will show only one market of the 4.1 and 4.2, and will show the 4.3 and 4.4 of the 2nd market that isn't duplicate. This also depends on what market is added first, if the first market added contains all of the 2nd market channels, then all the first markets channels will be listed, but if the first market doesn't have all the channels of the 2nd market, then I get a hybrid channel listings of both markets, part of each market is listed. Any ideas or work arounds (or future enhancement)? I am a Plex Pass user and looking at moving to Emby (on a one month trial payment) with Emby to see how it compares to Plex).

ebr 14898 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Okay, so this is really a channel configuration issue as opposed to a guide data issue, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeidnerJ 4 Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 Okay, so this is really a channel configuration issue as opposed to a guide data issue, correct? I would probably say yes if you were to break it down that way. It shows up during both the EPG setup screen and on the channel display screen of not having all the channels of the combined tuners.

Luke 36992 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 We plan to expand our channel management features in the near future to allow you to better control this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillOatman 495 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) In the meantime, check out xteve (xteve.de). You have it recognize both homeruns and number the channels as you like. The downside is you'll need to get your own guide data and put that into xteve as well. There are many good options for doing so. Since you are all OTA, I'd look at zap2xml (zap2it) first.

Thank you for the suggestion, but think that I will still end up having the same issue in the end because Emby right now does not have the ability to have duplicate channel numbers.

I know this is the question that the developers hate to hear, but do you have a timeline on this? I paid for a month to find out if Emby could do better than Plex. With Plex, I actually have the two tuners separated out so I am not getting that conflict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't actually. Inside of xteve you can renumber all of the channels however you like. So you can give each channel it's own unique number (for example if each homerun has a channel 10, you can make one of them 110 and the other 210 or whatever you like), and xteve gives those numbers to Emby. You give Emby the xteve m3u and xmltv URLs instead of the homerun ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If for any reason xteve becomes unavailable you would lose tv functionality in emby as the guide refreshes. If you point it at the resultant m3u and xmltv file that can’t happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
