Very nice. Something else I’m noticing and maybe it’s just a limitation of Plex (but seems like when I use Plex EPG instead of XEPG it worked) that a lot of the TV shows aren’t showing the thumbnail images and instead just show the channel logo, although quite a few do show the images so that’s what makes me think maybe it’s plex. I went through the mapping section of Xteve and made sure to set all of my channels to series instead of movies which it had defaulted to (I thought maybe it was this, but didn’t seem to make a change).
With great expenditures of cursing and sweat, I managed to get Canada.com to work. The secret seems to be to select all channels on the website, and to edit a line in the Webgrab++:
See the items = 90? I think that causes it to stop looking after 90 channels. You have to bump it up so it finds all the good ones instead of the Crochet network in Tasmanian and so on.
Even if I bumped the number up, though, it would only work if I selected everything. Hope this helps some other poor sap that tries to get this working.
ADDENDUM: many of the needed channels are in tvpassport.com xml file already - and that site is very fast.
Does anyone have this problem in linux?
Stream was fine and then it it gets stuck or loads/buffs to far long so you exit out the channel and try to reopen the channel, and then receive plex error that it cannot play? i play another channel and still doesn’t play and no key is registered in the cmd line. sometimes unplugging and plugging back in work than it does to restart the device.
I will be going over the m3u file of course so it xteve/plex doesn’t get jammed from to many channels in a bit or somtime in the next week but i only enabled up to 300 channels, it should be ok right? or is it bc of to many channels its reading?
The other is to have it on boot if a lose on power like i had the other day or each time i want to restart the device for some changes but like to have xteve to autostart when it boots up.
I’ve tried crontab -e, init.d, and i think one other but still was working, and if it did boot, the host dvr would be 127.0.0.1 than the actual LAN port that wasn’t playable.
Thx.
ok, bc i run xteve on my TinkerBoard and my Plex is on a i7 4770K as the host server which should be greatly enough to do so. Great motherboard, ram and everything else.
Somehow I lost my channels and had to start over, just finished it. And made a copy to my desktop from the Temp folder. How can you enforce the IP than 127.0.0.1/localhost?? my plex says its no online bc of that. ran into this issue before but not in creating the service.
~XEPG
ps, I did enabled ‘Wait for Network’. same thing. 127.0.0.1 than the DHCP IP.
restarting “sudo systemctl restart xteve” fixed the ip.
Maybe its possible that the logo link its grabbing from is to large? the img itself.
All of mine are coming from amazon and possibly forcing them with the tags: height=720 width=360
Am i missing a step to in-force the service last after nic is on?
Bc I would like it to boot up without typing in: “sudo systemctl restart xteve” every single time.
I do have “RestartSec=15” (w/o quotes) and still does not work, even added a “s” next to 15 and still end up getting “DVR IP: 127.0.0.1:34400”
Even tried 20. Nothing.
