wtv files not showing up

[Sorahl 6]

Well, I bought  a lifetime (of v3) key after seeing how well MB worked from a hotel room in Troy last weekend. I was amazed that I picked up where I left off on a movie I had been watching at home.

So I went and added a new library for my recorded tv from WMC. I was surprised to find that the only files it's picking up are the 13 recordings I have in DVR-MS format left over. I have well over 2k .wtv recordings that are not showing up. Doesn't MediaBrowser work with .wtv files? I didn't see that it wouldn't but it seems a lot of folks do conversions to remove commericials (this never worked reliably enough for us so we just skip ahead).

 

thanks..

all of my .wtv file show up, they are under live tv.. you need to install a live tv plugin and download the Media Center Server, then when you go to live tv it will have a recordings tab, that's where you will find all your .wtv files.

you don't even need to add them as a folder.

thanks for the reply. I did , when I first installed v3, have servermc installed but it never would detect my infinitv 4 card and kept giving me server errors.

this is the error I get

No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it [::1]:9080

 

since the tuner card is in the same machine that I am running this on... not sure what is up with that.

I just caught what you meant. there is more to install for serverwmc than the plug in for MB... doing that now

[Longrifle 33]

yes, the actual Media Center Server has to be running in the background in order for it to work.

Note: when I reboot my machine I always have to start the Media Center Server manually before Media Browser will work with it.

Thanks. this issue is now ... a non issue i'll experiment to see if it starts as it should or if I need to figure it out so it can auto start when the machine is booting.

the best thing about having a system like this to view all our video content is it's always possible to improve it

the worst thing about having a system like this to view all our video content is it's never done being worked on

Can I revisit this? I understand about the plugin, but exactly is this "Media Center Server"? Where do I get it?

Thanks for the quick reply, but I already have the server installed. Same machine; server & client.

Live TV tab lists ServerWMC as up to date.

Status:Unavailable (No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it [::1]:9080)

Is there some other "server" I need?

[Sorahl 6]

two ways to go about it.

if you have windows media center you use the classic plugin

if you don't you use the EMBY Media server.

[crashinc25 1]

Awesome! We'll see how this goes

 

Thanks

Ok, so I understand, this seems to be directed at Live TV within the Emby environment.

I use Media Center for TV and none of the .wtv files show up in the media browser application. I can access all movies, music, and TV that is NOT .wtv.

All .wtv recordings show up under recorded TV within the Emby Theater.

Is it supposed to be this way? I'm trying to have ALL media in 1 location and Emby Theater is not my first choice as it is buggy, laggy, and puts the recorded .wtv shows in 1 folder (I understand why and I'm not willing to put each series in a folder unless there is an automated way).

when i'm at home, that's fine... WMC recordings in TV... everything else under MediaBrowser.. but I wanted to be able to view recorded tv when i'm away from home. that's why I started the thread..
