Is Channels DVR Integration Still a Thing?

I'm not seeing the m3u option in Emby anymore. How do we add ChannelsDVR TVEverywhere without m3u? @Carlo, I think you posted old instructions for this using m3u. How do we do it now without m3u?

Hi there, where are you looking for it?

I thought it used to be in Live TV settings, but I don't see it there. Then I went to plug ins and found IPTV, but nothing for m3u unless I'm looking right past it.

How to add and configure an M3U Tuner

You click on TV Source and the dropdown list includes m3u, or it does for me.

Not me. 

Can you post a screenshot? It's not showing up when clicking add TV source.

I also have the same M3U Tuner plugin, same version. Channels DVR works great as a backend for Emby.

Yep, that was it! Thank you all! Looks like I've got a bit of channel clean up to do, but seems I was able to pull all the Fios channels in fairly easily.

You may already know this, but it's a little easier manage the lineup in CDVR (either set favorites or hide channels). If you set favorites in CDVR, you would change the M3U in Emby to http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8089/devices/ANY/channels.m3u?format=ts&filter=favorites. Also to get two weeks of guide data, you would change the xml guide entry in Emby to http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8089/devices/ANY/guide/xmltv?duration=1209600.

I did NOT know this. Thank you so much for the tip!

Was your issue that you did not have the M3U plugin ? or had an old version installed ?

It was that I didn't have the plugin at all. I think awhile back it wasn't needed, and I never installed it because I was still using cablecards.

Current versions of Emby Server (stable / beta) should have the m3u tuner plugin bundled with the release

Is it included in portable? As of which version? I'm on stable .3 and it wasn't there.

I have not checked the portable packages - just 4.9.5 and 4.10.0.13 setup.exe's

I will find out

Got it, thank you. Should've installed that first. 😅
