Hi Alex,
I've made fork on your ver channel I've fixed some epg issues and adapted the channel for Samsung Smart TV
https://github.com/bmihovski/plex-vdr-live-samsung-tv-plugin.bundle
hi guys, great to read all this - i'm waiting to get my s2tuner card tomorrow and hope to get livetv on my PMS + XBMC (13) with Plexbmc Box running.

can't wait to test :)

Hi Alex,

https://github.com/bmihovski/plex-vdr-live-samsung-tv-plugin.bundle
Hi there,
great - I should move it to github probably. I am playing around a bit with it the last days but nothings worth releasing...
Thanks for the info! Cheers
Alex
Is this still working ? I am trying this with 2.1.6 vdr on arch linux and plex keeps telling me channels is not responding
Hi triton,
yes for me it is ;-) .. you do need:
vdr-plugin-streamdev
vdr-plugin-restfulapi
in your archvdr installation though.
and must open the ports in streamdevhosts.conf if plex is not running on the same IP. If this doesn't help, please post the plex-plugin-logfile, it should contain an error that would help ...
Cheers
Alex

ah ... there was one error I never had, but others reported in the vdrportal.
Do you have channel groups in vdr ? Meaning, a channels.conf line that starts with a ":" ?

Where the :Hauptprogramm starts a group. The API-Call is relying on those groups to build a menu structure.... the error "out of bound" looks like somehting like this to me.

Well I have ":@ for each channel number so I guess this is causing issues. is there a way to have plugin ignore :@
Well my channels.conf look like this

Hm ... I am currently not able to look into that unfortunately. My Python skills are really limited and since I posted this plugin I haven't touched it again ;-)
I will have some days off in Feb and put a reminder in. guess one could strip out the @ with a RegExp and then the rest should work again.
Cheers
Alex
Hi,
I've done a quick update to remove the '@'. I've not got VDR installed so I cant test it
https://github.com/greeeny101/plex-vdr-live-samsung-tv-plugin.bundle
I have the same problem, i have channel groups and using latest git still doesn't show any channels!
thanks
joe
Bumping up this thread, perhaps somebody can help me. I played with this plugin at night, and I managed to install the plugin, it starts, but when I click the channel group, no channels are showing up. Don’t see anything in logs, but maybe.
I’m running a home server with Ubuntu Server 14 LTS, with VDR latest and plugins latest compiled from git (vdr, streamdev, restfulapi, etc), on VDR side it is working fine. Plex is also updated to latest release.
Here are the logs, maybe help: Link
Would be great to have this tested and to try out!
Hi,
I am travelling right now with now access to my home environment, and no docker enabled hardware around, so I can not check that … The only thing I spot in the log that is really different to what I remember from my own setup at home - do you have “[ ]” around in the name of the channelgroup?
I assume that this might cause my lame parsing code to break, that is the only Idea I have right now …
Maybe you could export the first 2-3 channelgroups from the channels.conf file of vdr to pastebin?
Other but that - I will be on vacation as of the weekend, and be back begin of September with a couple of days time to work on my private projects, so then I can take a look at code aswell.
Cheers
Alex
Hi Alex,
thanks for following up on this!
I looked at the code and what I did is to change the following line:
from
SINGLEGROUP_URL = ‘http://%s:%s/channels.xml?group=%s’
to
SINGLEGROUP_URL = ‘http://%s:%s/channels.xml?groups=%s’
As I have checked in browser, restfulapi needs groups instead of group, once I changed this, it did import channels, but oddly, not all of them, just a few. Couldn’t find out on what basis, but only imported around 10 channels, and I couldn’t start playing them at all.
The name of my channel group is:
:[S0.8W] Name
Here is the pastebin of the channels.conf few channels. LInk
Thank you for looking into this, it would be great to have this working!
EDIT: now the channels that are loaded are playing fine in browser, but looking at the logs, there is some sort of error with importing the EPG data for certain channels, at least it looks to me like. Is there a way to disable importing of EPG data, or to make the plugin able to import channels even if no epg data is present? The epg data is there, I can see it in Kodi.
EDIT2: I updated to the [“Samsung”](https://github.com/Jondalar/plex-vdr-live.bundle ““Samsung””) version of the plugin, there I also had to change the following to get channels loaded at all:
SINGLEGROUP_URL = ‘http://%s:%s/channels.xml?group=%s’
to
SINGLEGROUP_URL = ‘http://%s:%s/channels.xml?groups=%s’
And now most of my channels are loaded, some of them are missing. Maybe the channels that are missing are the ones where no EPG is available. It would be great if the plugin could be modified to load channels where no EPG is available too.
Hi,
after a test with my groups names, I guess the spaces are the issue … I will look at this after vacation, the ’ ’ needs to be replaces by a ‘%20’ so the html call to the RestAPI works properly, you can play with the URL in a browser and see that happen.
The SINGLEGROUP_URL calls the RestfulAPI plugin to retrieve the Info on just one channelgroup.
That it works for you with our change is unexpected result/output from the RestfulAPI plugin and probably a fallback/safety response instead of sending an error… but the guys in the vdrportal will know.
Once I have had the time to look at this (maybe even from hotel by using my iPad, if it bugs me too much) I will push a new version to github and post an update here.
I would have found this, if I ever used a ’ ’ in my groups in my channel.conf at home 
If you find that yourself (in the init.py is some characted replacement code as far as I remember), it would be nice to drop a note to me.
Rgds,
Alex
Hi,
I tested this and got it working after a few tweaks.
Is there any chance to get DVB Subtitles working, and also any way to select audio channel? This seems like a Plex limitation. It would be easy to burn subtitles during transcoding, or just pass through the stream if direct play is used. But it seems that there is no way to tell Plex about this.
