NextPVR plugin 3.7.4

[emveepee 132]

To go with version 5.2 of NextPVR there is a new version of the addon

- channel tag support (called channel groups in NextPVR)

- reduced unnecessary calls to update recordings

- remove calls for radio list since Emby doesn't support radio.

- restrict SD EPG import to Emby licensed countries

Martin what exactly is this one.  Just want a bit more clarity to understand for support reason moving forward.

Thanks

Since Emby only licenses data for lineups with USA, GBR and CAN only that EPG data will be included in the import.  For other lineups a few characters from the guide are shown as placeholders.  This way SD is not competing with Gracenote for Emby's business.     For support if the user complains about missing data in the guide they need to check their lineup country.

Thank you for updating the plugin.

The link leads to a 404 page and the file can’t be dloaded.

Updated post #1, sorry about that the forum software was hiding the URL

Thank you. This zip file contains a temp folder and a single dll file. Is this correct? The previous plugin was 2 files.

[emveepee 132]

I decided not to distribute the pdb file, since it hasn't ever reported anything I needed.  It shouldn't have the temp though, I guess my updated script was wrong and I will fix that but the SHA256 checksum will be the same if you are concerned  3C99E90053EFAAC6DEBFF1E92BD2916D4453EC43487E7BB6E069801B229119ED

To calculate In Windows

certutil -hashfile LiveTV.Plugins.NextPvr.dll SHA256

and in linux

sha256sum LiveTV.Plugins.NextPvr.dll

I see. Thanks. I’ll try it. I’ve already installed the latest nextpvr.

Had to install the Docker container again and for some reason the channels thumbnails are all messed up now on Emby (the channel mapping was not exactly the same I guess). For example, on Emby’s guide the thumbnail is for Discovery velocity but the guide is showing CBS info

Any idea on how to flush and force Emby to reload all channel thumbnails?

 

Thanks again

Try a guide refresh.  If that doesn't work try removing any tuners that are loaded and remove the NextPVR plug and then do a guide refresh which should remove all channels.

Then add back the plugin.

You always come to the rescue @cayars. Removing the plugin, refreshing and installing it again did it. Thanks a million :)

Glad you got it working.

Thanks for the update.

Hi,

i try to use nextpvr backend & emby.

I have setting up nextpvr + schedule direct, and that seems good:  i have the epg and i can stream channels from nextpvr web page.

Under emby, i have installer the plugin 3.7.4, set necessary fields and, i can see under emby, tv channels. But i can't play any channels (traduction from french: no compatible flux). I think i have missed something hughes.

An other question: is it possible to get m3u URL & xml guide URL with nextpvr ?

regards

[emveepee 132]

You do need to tick the box that indicates that you have read about donating to NextPVR.  There is not xmltv export from NextPVR to much potential for abuse of the licensed SD guide data.

SVP, this is not a blog, so if this doesn't answer your question open a new topic with the Emby log and I can have a look.  I won't be answering any other questions in this thread.

Martin.
