Tvheadend

Has anyone figured out if LocalBTV will still work? I had an M3U configured for the major networks but they have changed URLs. They don't advertise the network streams but so far they have been available if you search. Generally the streams work well. Nicest part was I could get Pacific time zone channels. Generally streams are eastern only. By the time I sit down and turn the TV on everything is over.

those are working for you? id sure but i read those get tokens or something.

it can be any benefit if i add my hdhomerun playlist thought cabernet?

Never thought to use Cabernet to be between the HDHomerun appliance and the DVR. I just give the m3u file I generate to TVHeadend as a automatic network. Main issue was the EPG from SiliconDust is protected, so I have to get the EPG from elsewhere. I really do not see any reason to use Cabernet with HDHomerun as the provider.

thanks

there its some script that get like 24hours from hdhomerun device

anyway there its better optios to get them

updated but something got borked.

no longer a tuner status or Scheduler Status on the home page

Same here. Update did something and now Plex finds the tuner but doesn't detects the channels.

Funny you should mention Plex, since recently we test plex constantly and it works fine. Only time we find it not detecting channels is when you turn off and on instances without restarting the app, otherwise it works better than it use to.

Plex has been working fine, the issue is with cabernet. the update did something where I could not access channel editor and Stream Providers. Just tried a fresh install and even with a fresh install Im not able to access Stream Providers or Channel Editor. I don't see any errors about it on the logs. Before I was able to get it to work by using [daddylive_default] instead of [daddylive] but now its not doing anything. This is a issue I 've had before where I am unable to acess Stream Providers and Channel Editor and cannot figure out why it won't show me those pages.

So, Plex tuner does detect the channels, correctly. Good to know you misspoke. As for the Stream providers page being empty... Since the same software displays all the settings pages, you either have a major exception in the log or no plugins are installed. If the Channel Editor is not their (the title "Channel Editor" is missing from the page), then the only way the page is gone, is a major exception in the log. If instead of not having access to the Channel Editor, you are saying the plugin tabs are missing, then that means the channel database has no channels in it. Of course, if you have no plugins installed, then you might not have any channels...

I just downgraded back to Cabernet 0.9.11.08 and added _default to daddylive and Cabernet seems to work again. Something with the newer updates broke something for me.

That is why we keep old versions around. People are use to a version, they can stick with it. I am still using Ubuntu 20 and it works fine.

I also realized that when adding the tuner if I choose the xmltv.xml it matches all the channels but they wont play. Instead when adding the tuner I choose my zip code and go by Directv EPG. I have to manually choose the right channel number for each channel but at least they play. What do I have to do to get the xmltv.xml working for me?

sounds like your correlation is off. You will need to manually match the correct channel.

Now that I tested a little more I got the xmltv.xml link to work on plex and match the channels. The channels play fine but not the guide. All the channels say Unknown Airing and have no thumbnails.

The EPG stopped pulling listings about a week ago.

You can check the log to see the days of data each plugin is providing to the media server when requesting the xmltv.xml file, but I would suspect the plex cache is to blame for the "Unknown Airing". If indeed there is no days of programming provided, then I would check the EPG scheduled event log and see what is happening there.

Pulled in the update to 9.12.11 and after restart the EPG came in again as well. This is good.

Sadly I can't update from 0.9.11.08 anything after that breaks something for me. Is is possible for me to just use the epg information from the new update and use it with 0.9.11.08? I get a lot more channels if I use the epg instead of manually setting the channels like I have to do at the moment.

Yep, in fact, if you have 0.9.12.11 and look at the top of the log, there should be something in all caps that say something like STOP NAMING THINGS LIKE THAT... lol

log file size zero

Looks like the Plex channel data at https://i.mjh.nz/Plex/ is hosed up. If you already have the channels imported, don't delete them until the site gets this fixed.

Are you talking about the log file that you have disabled, or the system log file that you log to that should never be zero.

I am looking for information about naming convention of m3u instances. I guess I am supposed to look for this in a log file instead of the release notes?

Outstanding. We already have the issue written and if you are saying you can help write the release notes, that would be awesome. Thank you.
