Dear all

I use xTeVe as a DVR source.  
xTeVe is configured and the playlist mapped to the EPG channels.

Plex can see the related DVR device.  
The problem is, I cannot set “Antenna” as a signal source… (and if I cannot set antenna as the signal source, I cannot link a local EPG file).

How can I force “antenna” as the source or what can I do to use a local EPG file instead of the provided online EPG sources?

Kind regards  
N3

Remove any existing tuners and start again.  
If you have multiple tuners, set all the sources of your EPG within Xteve.  
When you add the tuner, use Xteve as the source for the EPG.

There is a planned update that will hopefully make this easier in the near future.

Thank you for your kind advice.

To remove and add the tuner(s) again won’t help. I did that multiple times.

I may have to add, that plex and xTeVe are on the same headless ubuntu system. It used to work with the exact same setup before. And with before, I mean before one of the recent plex (pass) updates.

noviceiii: I’m having the same problem as you. yes I could provide XMLTV info from xteve but I would prefer to use the plex-supplied EPG info. Does anyone know how to make xteve appear to plex as an antenna tuner?
