NPVR Plugin

Was wondering if it was even possible to create a NPVR plugin for Plex. I know that we can't do the livetv streaming, But i was hoping that i would be able to bring up maybe the epg and schedule recording,schedule season passes, look at recording status, all from Plex,

 

thank you for the information

Have only given it a quick spin, but so far seems to work well.  https://github.com/psyciknz/NextPVR-Plex

This is a basic plugin that will stream your recordings - none of the other functionality you mention unfortunately. 

I am interested in trying your solution, but can you give some tips on exactly what I'd have to do to install/test it?  

You just need to download the bundle, extract it, and place it in your plug-ins folder it like any other channel.  

For Mac it is /Users//Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins

For Window it is /Users//AppData/Local/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins

Compairing this plugin to some of the other Plex PVR live TV plugins I have a few wish list items.

  • channel logos like hdhomerun viewer.
  • recording options like the mediaportal plugin
  • thumbnails for recorded shows / movies if possible (These are collected by npvr if using guide enhancers)

The live branch of NextPVR -Plex supports live streaming.

Hello, what server address do i use to get the LiveTV ? Thx

Hey All,

I've got this added to my PMS install and its excellent :)

I've got a couple of questions though:

1) Is there a way to add images for the channels, such as BBC 1, BBC2 etc (In the UK)?

2) Whats the best encoding method to stop plex from having to transcode - it takes up to 4 minutes from me trying to watch a recording before it will play and it must be the format I'm using?

Thanks in advance.

I've managed to get most of my questions answered over on http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?54438-Plex-Channel-for-NextPVR

Brilliant plugin!!

does this still work? NPVR and Plex for live tv?
I have a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1800 that I’m trying to get to work…I can get it to scan channels but it won’t play in plex,using the npvr plugin
