Live TV EPG - The update you’ve been waiting for

I apologize, I thought they had updated 12.6, 39.3, 48.9 and 48.10… I will contact them as I test channels for them. Below is Channel 15

The lineup channel numbers are the Display channel numbers - not the Physical channel numbers

Please check what is missing and give me the display channel numbers that need to be added

Is this what you need? What I see on my antenna is:

15.1 Telemu
15.2 WSFA
15.3 SBN
15.4 Heart
15.5 ShopLC
15.6 HSN

That is strange - what you see in DVR Settings for channel mapping should be the tuner display channel numbers - not the physical channel numbers

I am referring to this screen
The display channel numbers appear on the left side on this screen

Are the channels to be added 5.xx channels or 15.xx channels?

If the screen you screen shot it is from the Plex DVR then I see the 15.1 through 15.6. That is how they show up in my HD home run app and on the HD home run local settings. They also showed up that way when I used channels DVR. They’ve never shown up as channel 5.

@sa2000, I double-checked. This is odd. They show up at 5 and 15. However, I’ve only been able to view them on 15. These stations rarely come in as they are low power.

What is also strange through TSreader, I can see 12.6 (and will report to RabbitEars) but cannot see 48.9 and 48.10. I was able tune 48.9 and 48.10 (DigitTV) through Channels and HDHomerun apps but cannot today…although I can view the other 48.xx channels. They still show up in the HDHomerun app and local server though.

It is very unlikely that Gracenote would add these channels to their lineups if they are low power.

I will put a request in for 5.x channels from WBXM-CD fpr Montgomery market
and will also ask for any additional 48.x that are available

I don’t think I had your zip code - i am checking against a lineup with a zip code 36101

I’m in a suburb called Wetumpka. My ZIP Code is 36093. Were you able to have them add channel 39.1 and 39.2? I’ve sent the data to add to rabbit ears for 39.3 and 12.6.

Okay, so I removed the tuner and added it back with a couple different zip codes and was able to get the EPG for the RETRO channel. Thanks for the help! I was able to figure out what I had wrong thanks to you. Have a good weekend!

I found another one for the Montgomery, Alabama market not in Gracenote.

@sa2000 this just continues with more opportunities.

I’ll say up front… handling the F1 schedule is gonna difficult. I did watch the Italy Grand Prix Qualifying session this morning, and I had noted earlier in the week that it was scheduled to be recorded. I just took a took at my Life TV scheduled records… and Practice 3 got recorded, but Qualifying did not. If I’m reading the logs right, I’m suspecting that it matched on the '22 qualifying episode of this race and didn’t record on that basis.

Right now, the race for tomorrow is still showing as scheduled to record, but I do see a '22 race in my saved shows. I do hope it records.

The race is recording as scheduled, fortunately.

@sa2000
Plex for Windows 1.77.3.3966 is fine.
In Plex Web 4.114.3 it’s still not fixed.
Picture is shown for 1-2 sec. and then disappear.


Plex web local 4.108.0 shows a black placeholder

Interesting - I am unable to reproduce with the latest server Beta (1.32.6.7468) with the hosted Plex Web app 4.114.3 - but I do have missing images when using the earlier Plex Media Server beta 1,32,6,7371 - could you try and see if the behaviour is different with the latest beta

I have not established why it is working for me on PMS 1.32.6.7468 and not 1.32.6.7371 - if the problem persists for you, i will need again exact repro steps and network logging of requests and responses and server logs

Will see if they add all or some of them - as you know the channel numbers for some - the 15.x ones which appear as 5.x on rabbitears.info

Thanks for reporting this. I have referred it to Gracenote

Thank you!

Thanks for sending me the extra info

I have reproduced the issue of no images if recordings are scheduled from within the Guide “Browse” or “What’s On” screens. This has been referred to the development team - let me know if there are any other scenarios of this happening - when using the current hosted Plex Web app and Plex Media Server beta 1.32.6.7468 or later

Updated to include “What’s On” as well
