To complain about lacking TVnext progress

Where do I sign up for the beta?

[pwhodges 2012]

On the main Emby download page select your platform and one of the options will be to download the beta; download, install and run.

Note that once you change an installation to the beta, changing it back will break it.  That said, many people find it reliable enough to run routinely - it's your choice depending on the reliability level you require.

Bear in mind, there is no beta currently for live tv, if that's what you are after

[markyp 38]

it was... hence the wink!

I'm already on the beta channel for the server, and I'm assuming there'll be some kind of closed-group testing of tv-next before it hits the normal beta channel?

As a very frequent user of Live TV I'm keen to test the new functionality when its appropriate.

Yup

The cynic in me says Donald Trump will become a caring, sharing tree-huger before we see TVnext.

TVnext will surely be here first, otherwise, I guess we'll have the biggest, best and most beautiful trees ever seen. Tremendous forests, folks!

PS While I'd hope the above comes across funny, and didn't cross the line for anyone, we should try and avoid bringing politics into the forum, as there is always the possibility it offends someone.

I know. Sorry. I''ll try to be better.

Are we getting closer to testing ?

There is really no need to ask this question until after 4.9 is released and a new beta cycle is started.  Thanks.

We're not really asking, just expressing impatience and frustration

If so many people are asking then maybe priorities need to be shifted, no?
Just asking...

[denz 501]

4.9 was supposed to be a shorter beta but it has been a year now. To me that is a very long beta cycle. With TVnext there will be much more users participating in the beta cycle.

That is how the status changed from being unsure whether they wanted to implement it at all to committing to which beta cycle it would come in.

after reading over most this thread. im still a little unsure what tvnext is? sounds like a proxy like xteve that creates more of a buffer on streams and maybe a way to manage streams that are open but should be closed. which keeps from going over stream limit from provider. am i correct?  i use latest beta, has it been implemented yet? i found that there is an issue that started somewhere in the beta versions for playing 265 streams. 

i tested the portable version 4.8.10.0  and beta  4.9.0.37.  the old version plays hvec stream ok. new beta wont. did fresh install new library on both. both use same plugins. so something changed that allows hvec/265 streams to play. i would switch back to the older version. although it causes issues with db. most likely db changes as they went. 

thats another reason i created my app that resolves some on going issues ive had. it exports favs and played status to csv file the imports( doesn't use emby api but sql cmds. )  so as long as emby doesn't change the structure/location of data in db then it should work on other versions of emby.  problem is if i have to rescan all the strm files from iptv provider takes 3 days around the clock the first time and makes emby unusable during that time.

Have you looked at this?: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/e/2PACX-1vTtWQwRLBTPp5TNh8KmtSH3Rvz9Zm6ovUL__YL9Ax1ikzGLCzdfhryjMJ6-g5N1rJIf5LrDGjE5jqds/pubhtml?gid=1930489182&single=true&pli=1

TVnext Is a lot more than just tuners... ...and besides that it's mostly done.

But i suppose your happy using a Vic 20 and driving a model T

ok just looked over that comparison. but sounds like its a media center software like emby but much more features? i cant find any info on it threw google search? some site in Korean. sorry but you added more confusion 

[softworkz 5066]

This is an upcoming update to Emby, not something separate. I has only be developed in parallel due to its complexity.

This is the MEGA project!

Make Emby Greater Again

The development cycle is sooo long and unpredictable.  The product I work on for my employer has millions of LoC and we push out updates once a month and new versions once a year.  Emby's lack of updates bewilders me.
