Server Version#:1.18.7.2457 Player Version#:N/A I’m wondering if Plex supports any HDMI input capture card for Live TV? I found a way to strip HDCP from the HDMI connection and I only see two capable capture cards with HDMI inputs. The Elgato cards and BlackMagic Design cards are the only ones…

WinTV is included with the Hauppauge Colossus 2 and includes a Blast.exe and BlastCFG program for setting up the built in IR blaster… https://imgur.com/KyycsNo NextPVR is what controls the channel changing and handles all the Colossus 2 settings… Im using NextPVR v4… Notice the channel changer exec…

Thanks for the details and images showing your setup. I’m going to order that card and attempt to do the same thing. It’s frustrating that it takes this much work to add the capture card to Plex and they won’t just add direct support for it. I may be back with some questions if I have any issues dur…

No worries, I’m happy to answer any questions dude. There is a lot of moving parts lol And yes, when a channel is selected in Plex, NextPVR will handle the IR blasting to change channels. It’s fairly responsive too, takes about 2-5 seconds for Plex to start playing the channel after selecting it fr…

I have the card installed and I can see live TV through the Win TV or NextPVR application. However, I can’t seem to get NextPVR to change the channel using the IR blaster. I have it setup exactly the way you showed in your screenshot. The IR blaster works perfectly fine in Win TV and in the blast…

NextPVR should be wired up to the WinTV Blast.exe executable. If everything is configured in BlastCFG and is working in WinTV, this should be working. Try confirming it works by calling it from a command prompt and passing a channel as an argument. https://imgur.com/IU1qcXV Also confirm you have ad…

I tested the first item you mentioned. I opened a command prompt, entered the command, and it changed the channel on my receiver. Next, I noticed that NextPVR was referencing BlastCfg.exe instead of Blast.exe and now I have channel changing working correctly in that software. I’m confused on how …

I’m letting Plex handle all my EPG data. So when I configured xTeVe or NextPVR, I didn’t need to provide a XMLTV file or worry about EPG data. When configuring the tuner in Plex, I just entered my postal code and selected my provider.. [PLEXCapture] [PLEXCapture2] xTeVe has an option to set Plex …

I went back and deleted the XMLTV data from NextPVR and changed the EPG source to PMS in xteve. I think my problem now is within Plex. It doesn’t automatically find the tuner and I have to enter the address manually. When I enter it manually, the next step is to do a channel scan. This is where …

I don’t think the server authentication works on NextPVR, I’ve tried messing with it and I could still access the m3u and channel streams regardless lol. Verify everything on the NextPVR side by downloading and opening the M3U ( http://localhost:8866/channels ) in VLC Player and playing a few channels…

Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll try in VLC starting with a couple of channels I enter manually first. Also, I’m confused because I thought you said Plex fed the channel listings to your xteve and NextPVR? What you’re saying above seems like you’ve defined your channels in NextPVR using something. …
