MyTV (Beta) - PseudoTV alternative

[hdsuisse 14]

hello Vic, thanks for the great Plugin. I use it now for a while,  and it works like charm. 

just one question: is it possible to remove the Virtual Channells from continous watching? When i zap true the channels i have to many entries.

Hello @hdsuisseI am not sure what you are asking. I think you are asking me if Played content is added to Emby's "Continue Playing" menu on the main page? If so, I just added code to keep items played from the TV Guide from showing up in the "Continue Playing" menu. The latest code is on POST 1.

great job Vic, that works perfect for me and sorry for my English. 

"Continue Playing" is deactivated now. Maybe you make that switchable. I guess some user like to have this option.

Thanks Daniel

Unfortunately "Continue Playing" , it doesn't disappear from the TV apps, LG, or Samsung. Only in the Browser and the Windows app has it disappeared.

@hdsuisseyour English is great. I agree that "Continue Playing" should be optional. I can't do it right now, but later in the year when I have more time, I will add a settings page.

thank you

I will be back soon with new code.

Attached in post 1 is the new code base. The code is smaller, more modular, mush faster, and has many improvements. I have tested the code on Chrome and Edge. The code is stable, and all known bugs are fixed. I also posted the new dll below for easy reference. Major improvements were made in

1) the search code,

2) the TV build code, and

3) the "Starter Channel" code.

To install this version of myTV you must do a fresh install.

I was asked to remove the restriction placed on "Starter Channels" that limited their deployment to only channel 1 of EPG 1.  I removed the restriction and now you can put starter channels anywhere you like. Let me know if you experience any problems doing this. I have not thoroughly tested this change.  The new code is attached below.

I updated several features and corrected a few small bugs. I am continuing to test on Chrome and Edge browsers.

Bulk Edit

I just added bulk edit to the Explorer code in myTV.  All you have to do is select all of the items that you want to edit across. Edit any of these items and all of the changes are saved in each of the selected items. You can edit Tags and Genres.

Hi Vic, thanks for the Update.

Radio is broken in the new Version.

I try to add a Radio channel and it gives me this error:

"Both Audio and Video in same Channel"

Videochannels are in TV Guide 1 and i try the Radiochannels in TV Guide 2, same error

Hello  @hdsuisseI will look at this problem this morning. The error message you are receiving is that EMBY does not support having both audio and video files in the same channel. So when I was building your channel I encountered both file types.  It's possible that I have a bug in this detection code. I will test it today. By the way, I am a big user of radio channels. I have many that I use every day.

Vic

[VicMoore 754]

You are right - I have a bug - I will fix it asap

[hdsuisse 14]

ok Vic,

found another error, if ichoose video files manual in the channel, Random play is not working anymore.

[VicMoore 754]

I made a lot of changes over the last 2 weeks. I will fix this bug also ASAP.  Thanks for finding it.

Vic

[VicMoore 754]

@hdsuisseThe first bug is fixed. The dll is attached.  I have only done simplistic testing.  Let me know if it does not work.

I am now working on the second bug.

@hdsuisse Please try the new code attached in the previous post. I works fine for me with TV series when sort by is set to Random.

Vic

[VicMoore 754]

I just built an EPG with 100 channels across all of the media types, and everything worked as designed. 

@hdsuisseis everything working for you? Let me know if you encounter another bug. I reorganized the code to make it easier to understand and debug.  The common side affect caused by doing this is a few bugs. I don't have much time, so I concentrate on coding rather than testing.

Hi thanks for your work,

now i can add the Radio Channels.

i use TV Guide2 for Radio and TV Guide 1 for TV.

when Build TV Guide2 its removing all TV Channels in Guide1 and reverse ??

[VicMoore 754]

Explain in more detail and I will fix it.

Vic

[VicMoore 754]

Are you saying that you build TV Guide 1 with TV Series and everything is OK.  Then you build TV Guide 2 with Radio channels, and you discover that the channels in TV Guide 1 are deleted.

Is this true?

Vic

[hdsuisse 14]

yes, when i build the Guide here, all TV channels are disappeared in emby LiveTV

@hdsuisseEmby only supports one EPG in Live TV at a time.  You can define more than one Guide in myTV but you can use only one at a time. My plan is to create an EPG for each holiday and day of the week. Emby would then use the appropriate EPG according to the current date.

In one EPG I have both Audio channels and Video channels. The EMBY restriction for each channel only limits that channel to contain either audio or video, but not both
