Live TV in addon no longer listed?

[graphixmaker 2]

I’ve been using Emby on Kodi for a couple of years now and I use the live tv in the add on from time to time. It’s been a week or two, and tonight I selected live tv from the favorites menu in Kodi and when I selected a channel I received an error. So I went directly to the addon and the Live TV isn’t even listed. Was there some sort of change made?

 

I recently changed from the mono version to .net core and it’s been great. I can’t remember if I’ve watched live tv since the switch. It I’m assuming that has nothing to do with it.

Live TV experimental was removed from Emby for Kodi with 3.0.x.

 

I had to revamp playback entirely and dropped that feature as it was never meant to be part of the add-on. We'll just have to wait until a Kodi plugin is made to support live tv for emby in it's entirety.

Oh man the wife is going to be pissed. I had it completely integrated with EPG and everything so it was seamless. Should I attempt to downgrade?

Before you downgrade you should consider setting up a own PVR backend for Kodi. Higher WAF, less pissed wife. https://kodi.wiki/view/PVR

Unfortunately it's not that easy. My server is hosted remotely, with live tv provided by both iptv and a HD homerun in a second remote location. I could use a PVR backend for just the iptv, but then I'd have to work something out for the HD homerun that's remote. It's easy with the emby server because I have a static IP and don't have to worry about dyndns or anything with the current networking voodoo I have going on. I had figured out how to route emby's live tv through the iptv simple client so all of the emby streams were my PVR backend seamlessly. It looks like I might have to go back to the drawing board...
