TheShanMan 40 Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 I'm trying to get the Emby Guide Data to work and I'm still getting the guide data that I think was coming from Next PVR instead, (I've disabled the Next PVR service). Is it because I don't have a TV Source configured? And that's the other part of my question. I have a Hauppauge but detecting it fails and manually choosing it fails too. Yet it works with Next PVR. How do I get the TV Source and Emby Guide Data working?
Luke 42080 Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 Currently you cannot use emby guide data with next pvr, so you'd have to continue to run that through next pvr. It's possible for the future though.
TheShanMan 40 Posted January 16, 2019 Author Posted January 16, 2019 Good to know but why can't I disable next pvr and choose Hauppauge as my TV Source?
TheShanMan 40 Posted January 17, 2019 Author Posted January 17, 2019 I would if I could but like I said, it fails to be detected and it fails if I pick Hauppauge from the list even though it works with Next PVR. It's an HVR 2250. Is that not compatible or something?
TheShanMan 40 Posted January 18, 2019 Author Posted January 18, 2019 I just updated them to the latest version from Hauppauge's website and confirmed them in device manager. Same error messages from Emby.
arrbee99 1817 Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 Do you need WinTV 8 or 8.5 as well ? Have seen it suggested, just not sure if its a definite requirement.
ebr 16185 Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 Do you need WinTV 8 or 8.5 as well ? Have seen it suggested, just not sure if its a definite requirement. Yes, I believe so because that is what has the API we are using.
TheShanMan 40 Posted January 18, 2019 Author Posted January 18, 2019 I see that WinTV requires purchasing a license, so before I do that can I get confirmation that Emby will support my HVR 2250 once I install WinTV. I have no use for WinTV otherwise so I'd like to avoid purchasing it for nothing.
Luke 42080 Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 It will yes. You'll need to make sure that wintv shows all the channels. 1
TheShanMan 40 Posted January 19, 2019 Author Posted January 19, 2019 (edited) It kinda worked. It detects my device and appears to fetch guide data but the Live TV section has disappeared from the user's home page. I can get to Live TV on a desktop via the hamburger menu and that allows me to watch TV but the guide lists channels but no guide data. I've restarted my server but that made no difference.

Luke 42080 Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 I would check the mapping tool to ensure that tuner channels are mapped to guide channels.
TheShanMan 40 Posted January 20, 2019 Author Posted January 20, 2019 Yeah there's a long list of mappings.
Luke 42080 Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 None of those channels are mapped. If they were, you'd see the channel they're mapped to underneath the name. Try clicking the pencil next to one of them.
Carlo 4561 Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 When they are mapped correctly the screen will look like this:
TheShanMan 40 Posted January 22, 2019 Author Posted January 22, 2019 Yeah, that was it. Boy, that was super unintuitive. Really needs some improvement to make clear that action needs to be taken because seeing pairs of numbers along with names sure looked like mappings to me.
