Curious as from where plugin is picking 172 subnet; do you have double (or multi) NAT in your network? Multiple DHCP servers? You can try binding your server explicitly to 192.168.1.197 in Settings>Network tab>Local IP field, rerun task and see how does that compare?

Correct! The internal one.

What exactly have you setup as "host adress override"?

But the docker internal host adress is: http://172.18.0.6:8096

I’m not sure what you guys mean?

[pünktchen 1409]

Sorry, i was faster in writing then in thinking about it 
You were nearly right. Just remove the trailing slash. so it must be http://192.168.1.197:8096

I’m probably overthinking it. I initially left it blank. Should I put that IP in the host address override? 

[LakersFan 2]

Still getting a failure when trying to export.

Try this in a browser, but change "TheEmbyUserName" to your needs:
http://192.168.1.197:8096/emby/VirtualTV/Channels?StreamType=universal&CatchupType=shift&CatchupContainer=mpegts&User=TheEmbyUserName&Device=Tivimate

[LakersFan 2]

Doing that downloaded the channels.m3u file to my PC.

And that is was the export task is doing. Please post a screenshot of your export settings. But hide the password!!!

@LakersFan I really don't know what the problem is with the export task on your side, but instead of the exported files you can use the direct urls in Tivimate.
Just leave "Export Folder", "Hostadress Override" and "Token" empty in the export settings and use the following in Tivimate.

Guide:
http://192.168.1.197:8096/emby/virtualtv/guide?streamtype=universal

Channels:
http://192.168.1.197:8096/emby/virtualtv/channels?streamtype=universal&catchuptype=flussonic&user=Home&device=Tivimate

If playback of catchup streams failes, just append "&catchupcontainer=mpegts" to the channels url without quotes.
If your Emby user needs a password even in your LAN, just append "&pass=TheEmbyUserPassword" to the channels url without quotes.

@pünktchen Should the VirtualTV plugin work well with other TV sources? I attempted to add a m3u IPTV source to show up in the guide and got some strange behavior. Not sure if it's Emby, the other source, or expected when using the plugin.

Yes. Since i've started the project i've always had other tv sources active and never experienced any problem.

Unfortunately that didn't work either. I added the channels as you stated, then appended with the catch up container, then even tried the pass. The guide is accurate. It's just not playing.

Please pm me your Emby log file of that failed playback attempt.

Hi - thanks for making this plugin. I'm trying to set this up so that I can play my channels on kodi, but am running into 2 problems. I have everything setup on the emby server, and the channels show up and play without issue. I setup the IPTV simple PVR addon in kodi to pull the channels and guide data using he following links (which I found from another post from you in this thread):

http://192.168.1.16:8096/emby/VirtualTV/Channels?User=Kevin&StreamType=EmbyNextGen
http://192.168.1.16:8096/emby/VirtualTV/Guide

In kodi, I can see the channels show up, and I can see the guide data, however when I click on a channel to watch it, nothing happens. 

Here is a kodi log file of me trying to play a show in kodi using this method:

Your guide url is missing the stream type. It has to be:

http://192.168.1.16:8096/emby/VirtualTV/Guide?StreamType=EmbyNextGen

Thanks, although nothing plays, even after I make that change in kodi.

I also just tried following the steps in this post, and while that let's me play when clicking on anything to play, 9 times out of 10 it pops up that Playback Failed (1 out of 10 times the channel will play). 

See log of that here (3 errors and 1 successful playback):

@feerlessleadr I've asked the Kodi addon developer for some help. Maybe i need to adjust my plugin again to some changes in the Kodi addon or the Kodi addon is just broken.

[Eigeplackter 90]

Maybe a stupid question, but where can I find my created VirtualTV Channels ?
