The surprising thing is that I see the source is VirtualTV.  Could that effect the playlist execution?

I don't think so, but it's not impossible.
We will see it after you've updated the plugin to the newest version from the catalog. That should fix all the exceptions from the plugin that i've seen in your log.

I’m loving the VIrtualTV, however since I upgraded emby to 4.8.0.77 and VirtualTV 2.0.2.0 I’m having trouble with the Playlist Live or Playlist Archive modes it won’t advance to the next movie, also tried with the Native option.

 

I see this on tvOS and iOS, any ideas what could be wrong? Or anyone else having this issue with their ATV?

 

Thanks

Btw, I believe I may have found the issue here, my user Playback / Advanced settings had the “Enable Cinema Intros” selected and I have not configured Cinema Intros, but after I turned that off tv shows and movies started advancing as they should.

Great finding!

I wondering if there is a way for virtual channel logo to display in overlay on a movie or tv show while playing? I see it when tuning the channels but that overlay goes away along with the rest of the controls and program image. TIA

[yaksplat 66]

I updated everything and there's no longer an execution error, but i did see there's still an error generated by VirtualTV.  It happens at the end of every song.

When you say some channels don't work, do you mean they don't populate, or they don't play? 

Also, in my own experience, I always make sure to have the date range filled out. Even if I put  '1900-2050' as the range, it always fixes unpopulated channels for me. This also fixed it on my bf's as well, several times.

It populates but does play anything or generate guide data

According to the TV Guide, my comedy channel is currently playing "Taylor Tomlinson: Quarter-Life Crisis," which started at 4:26 and runs until 5:27. But when I click on it, I get an extra for Bo Burnham's "Inside," which is less than 40 minutes long. I played the channel, noticed the issue, turned on debug logging, and then played the channel again.

It's the parentheses in FOX (US). They are reserved to build the logical operation expression.
I don't know how many different FOX networks exists and if it would make sense for you, but why don't you just use FOX* ?

Sorry but you should have enabled debug logging in the plugin, not necessary for the server.

Emby v4.8.1.0  VirtualTV 2.0.2.0

Wiped previous logs and xmls. Installed new version. Playback Settings -> API key. Export Settings -> set Export Folder. Enabled -> Also export real live tv channels and guide data.  Did not set up any channels.  See attached logs, immediate fail.

I do not see where to set the User/Password like older versions nor the device name.

I am obviously missing something, please advise.. thanks!

Export Settings -> Add new authentication info. Then you can select that for the Export Task User.

I didn't think about doing that

pünktchen, any idea why the xml guide data file would work with Emby/TiviMate but not with Sparkle ?

No, sorry. Best is to send your xmltv file to the Sparkle developer over at Reddit.

Hello I was wondering which version of the live tv plugin should I install because I installed the new update fof the Emby server and now my live says it's unable to tune channels.

[STR8 74]

Emby server version 4.8.1.0

Live tv plugin version 1.1.2.0

Take a look at the first post of this thread, 1.1.4.2 is the version for the 4.8... server.

No. The latest version is in the plugin catalog.

I'm still using 1.1.4.2. The ones in the catalog seem to be dev builds that don't auto update. Still I would think you would need 1.1.4.2 as a base for the 4.8 server?

So the catalog version is a manual (dev) update system for this plugin?
