ozchef 3 Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Will the new ET be able t use XMLTV format for an EPG?
Luke 42077 Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 It will support the Live TV features that are used by Emby Server.
tman 47 Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Support of XMLTV format guide via OTA capture would be great. There are tools that can do this, and the guide is totally free. Now *that* would be a great feature. This is the only thing holding me back from using Emby for live TV at the moment. If you don't want to subscribe to Schedules Direct, there's nothing else available currently.
wally007 6 Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 I dont mind subscribing to Schedules direct for EPG but they dont support Czech free to air stations. All have OTA EPG or easy XMLTV available but that thats not supported here yet.
jordy 284 Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 I use NextPVR with OTA TV here in AUS and always have up to date access to the guide in Emby via the NextPVR plugin. You just need to set up NextPVR properly and have it running in the background to get the guide updates.
ozchef 3 Posted January 4, 2016 Author Posted January 4, 2016 Jordy I'm hoping to ise IceTV with emby at some point
jordy 284 Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Yeah. My only problem with that is it's not free. NextPVR is... Sent from my HUAWEI MT7-L09 using Tapatalk
MadibaJ 20 Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 I'm also in Aus. I seem to flip between mediaportal backend and WMC. I find WMC better for Kodi as it integrates series recording better. I find mediaportal better for Emby as the series record on Emby works well. In both cases the backend is the tvguide/schedular. The quality of the guide is dependant on the data and therefore the file naming (episode info). I really don't think it's worth paying for Icetv when a free program like EPGCollector can do an xmltv for mediaportal or import direct into WMC depending on which backend you use. I also find getting the info from the mheg5 stream (freeview) is far better than the OTA stream as it has the episode titles. I then run MCEbuddy which moves my shows or movies from the recorded tv section into the Emby library. MCEbuddy does a good job of stripping the adverts. And converting WMC files to a MP4 format.
ozchef 3 Posted January 5, 2016 Author Posted January 5, 2016 Have IceTV for my Toppy. Just would want to use it cause im already using for that
