EMBY/MPExtended LiveTV Issues

[leetxjd 5]

Is anyone else having issues with the LiveTV Source?

I had been using Emby with the Mediaportal source with the 0.6.0.4 Emby version of MPExtended and WebMediaPortal. 

Now - All of a sudden, it doesn't work. 

 

The MPExtended Troubleshooting links/tab provide the following information

Streaming Service

{"ApiVersion":6,"ServiceVersion":"0.6.0.4-Emby","SupportsMedia":true,"SupportsRecordings":false,"SupportsTV":false}

 

TVService

{"ApiVersion":6,"HasConnectionToTVServer":false,"ServiceVersion":"0.6.0.4-Emby"}

 

The LiveTV Source App also has no selection for Transcoding Profile or Channel Group. 

 

I am worried I may need to restore from a backup.  But before I do that, I wanted to see if anyone else had those problems.

Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!

It really isn't a "playback" issue per se.   It is a MediaPortal plugin issue.

I have been able to resolve the MPExtended problem - they now report "true".

However, the plugin can't seem to access the program guide nor do the Transcoding Profile or Channel Group drop downs have anything available in them in the LIVETV Source "app". 

The relevant portion of the embyserver log is attached.

Note: I removed the internal IPs with  [IP of PC Accessing EMBY Through Browser] or  [IP of Localhost]

I think there is something wrong with plugin 1.9.9.0   

The plug in keeps looking to port 8096 (the default port for Emby), where previous versions of the plug in looked to port 4322 (which is for streaming).

 

To test this, I installed 1.9.7.0 - but turned off internet access.  I then put in the localport address with port 4322.  The all channels guide pulled up (I couldn't choose a different lineup).

I then turned on internet access and installed 1.9.9.0 and restarted Emby.  Sure enough, the guide is now blank AND it seeks information from port 8096.  I also suspect it is looking to incorrect directories/port for transcoding and channel group settings.

The attached version 2.0.0 should fix your issues: MediaPortal.2.0.0.0.zip

@LukePlease update the plugin catalog with the above version.
The changes are in my repo: https://github.com/puenktchen/MediaPortalTVPlugin/commit/e51dcbe81cbb5b31ca5186978af96ce559bc4107

Flat out AWESOME!  It works and fixed the problems. 

 

I REALLY thank you for doing this.  I and my family use my Mediaportal/Emby set up everyday.  Being without LiveTV was frustrating.
