pschweig 6 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) Hi I am setting up Emby for the first time and I am having trouble getting guide data to display. I read that might be related to mapping channels in my lineup to the those I have scanned but there are no channels in the configuration pages either. I am using DVB-T in the UK via the Media Portal plugin. This seems to work ok as there are channels displayed on the front end and I can even watch them casting from my iphone to the tv via Chromecast. I initially had a Schedules Direct subscription but I read that has now been desupported. So I tried both xmltv and Emby guide data but neither worked. Any ideas how I can fix the guide data? I have attached screenshots to illustrate what I mean and the latest log file. thanks Paul embyserver (3).txt Edited June 9, 2021 by pschweig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Hi, you wouldn't be using the Channels menu item as you haven't loaded any tuners in Emby but instead use a Live TV plugin. You instead do your channel maintenance work in Media Portal where you have things setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pschweig 6 Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 Ok thanks - I'll have a look. Is there something specifically preventing Emby from showing its guide data? The channels have appeared in the front end - presumably from media portal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Just for clarification. You do not have anything setup in Emby Tuners correct? If you do, remove them. When using a Live TV plugin all the data comes through the plugin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pschweig 6 Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) No nothing in TV Sources. I had a look at that menu option but it didn't recognise any tuner devices on my pvr. Edited June 10, 2021 by pschweig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 You can remove the Emby Guide Data from here as it won't be used but could cause complications. Everything for you should be done in Media Portal & Media Portal plugin. Do you get proper guide data in Media Portal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pschweig 6 Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 Thanks I'll check - the only reason I have Media portal is to get tv into emby so it's all new setup to me. If I see guide data in Media Portal should it automatically import to Emby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pschweig 6 Posted June 17, 2021 Author Share Posted June 17, 2021 Hi - thanks for all your replies and advice. I set up the channel mappings and xmltv plugin in Mediaportal and now I have guide data in Emby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
