HDHomerun getting channels setup to export to m3u

Added by Daniel Denson almost 4 years ago

I'm having a heck of a time getting tvhe to scan for channels. I went through the wizard and have an atsc-t network setup but it wont scan for channels etc.
hdhomerun quadro.

I want to export the channels to an m3u but I can't get it to find my channels in the first place.
I even added a manual mux with channel 195Mhz / VSB/8 matching what my hdhomerun was showing and I can't get that to play through. I hit the 'play' button to get an m3u for VLC and it just errors.

log below.

I will try to explain how I have it setup. First my configuration. I am running Ubuntu on a Intel NUC. First, you need the M3U file. I have attached a python file to run which will generate the M3U. Edit the file and put the hostname for the device on the line 'hdhr-ip', then run with "python hdhr-listing-to-m3u.py" The output to stdout is the M3U file. Once you capture the M3U file, go into TVHeadend website and add a "Network" as a "IPTV Automatic Network". In the form enter:

Network Name
Max input streams
URL (ex: file://home/hts/HR4.m3u)
Skip startup scan is checked (you can manually "Force Scan" the file when you want
This will auto generate a list of Muxes. If all works well, you should also have a list of Services. At this point, you can test a Mux video stream by clicking on the play button on the far left. Same for the Services.
To get to the next step you will need a EPG or TV Guide. I get mine from Zap2IT.com and have been for about 8 years now. To get the EPG to link up with the Services takes a bit of work. If you get to have the services work and need more help, let me know.
