GOAL: To set up a Virtual TV channel stream. 

PROBLEM: Though the stream shows up in the tv guide, clicking it gives the "No compatible streams" message. Clicking the channel thumbnail causes an endless loading "circle" (the kind that spins when loading)

WHAT I'VE DONE I have uninstalled and reinstalled Emby. I have verified that my video files are playing locally on my computer and require no transcoding (h.264). I have verified that the videos are playing through Emby when selected directly. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Virtual TV. I have clicked "Force Guide Data" on Virtual TV.  I have updated my Mac's operating system. Dont know if it is important, but I am running my server from an exFAT external Western Digital Elements 8tb HDD.

Thank you for your time :)

I am attaching a picture of my computer specifications, as well as my most recent Emby Log from the time of the latest attempt.

For Continuous Playback mode you'll have to provide an API key!

Thank you for the reply! I didn't know about these API keys. I have read the on site guide to API keys but I think I need more guidance.

I see how to create keys, it is very easy. Unsure of how to proceed afterwards. Am I to understand that any time I or someone I want to access to my virtual tv continuous streams, they or I will have to submit their API key in a browser or something? How would that work with a Google TV emby app?

Two questions:
Why did you select Continuous Playback in the plugin?
What is written under the selection box? image.png.a93d8812d979180af9ae771cee5807cb.png
