xTeVe - IPTV for Plex DVR

I am having issues channels not showing using Windows PMS Version 1.17.0.1841 with XTeVe 2.0.3


Hi all,

i have xTeVe running on Mac OSX and a problem with a few streaming URLs, example below.
Both URLs work fine in VLC and browser window (Safari or Chrome) but xTeVe is showing an Error message.

Any ideas? Thankyou, Ben.

Hi,

I am new to xteve. My stream has 10800 channels (Some are movies). How do I filter out the ones I want? I tried just filter the name but adding all of them would take forever. In my file there is groups “Denmark” for example. How do I filter so I just get the ones in that group?

Best regards,

T

Maybe you wait a few days or switch to the beta. Then VLC and FFmpeg will be available as a buffer option.

Filter -> New -> Group Title -> Select your group

Thankyou marmei - unfortunately I still get the “Not Found (This error message comes from the provider)” message for these streamsafter updating to the beta.

There is no groups when I try to select. The group Title pulldown list is empty even if I know there is many groups. Maybe I should try another browser?

I have tried different browsers with the same result. Nothing


@marmei Everything fine and working with vlc now.
(note to myself: read and think before posting)

Then your playlist will not contain any groups.

It was the m3u list that was the problem. I changed it to m3u_plus and it worked fine!

Thanks,

I’m using plex 1.18.0.1944 with xTeVe 2.1.0 (windows / amd64). I can get my 140 streams m3u list to show if I connect directly with VLC from http://localhost:34400/m3u/xteve.m3u but I can’t connect to it via plex.

I can see the tuner, and I can see all channels when configuring live TV and DVR
 the problem happens when I try to watch it as it gets locked on loading when connecting via plex until I get a “Playback Error: Could not tune channel. Please check your tuner
”.

I’ve tried no buffer, ffmpeg and vlc buffer and no option seems to work. Looking at Plex Media Server.log I can see those two lines:

Oct 14, 2019 23:03:17.769 [36852] ERROR - CheckNetIsolation.exe exited with code 0x5
Oct 14, 2019 23:03:17.770 [36852] ERROR - Failed to grant application loopback exemption

Curious to know if anyone had this issue and know how to solve it.

Thanks!

Yesterday I had a full list of 300 channels. In the morning I turn on Plex I only have a list of 2 channels.

What can this result from?

Guys anyone here has any idea how to make plex understand the EPG is a TV SHOW and give the option to store it in the tvshow library?

Just use Xteve =].

It works for me but only on the phone.

I have a buzzer on the PC every few moments:

I have this problem from the very beginning. I’m using Xteve on Qnap. Does anyone have similar?

I have the same issue

I’m facing a problem while connecting Plex DVR to xTeVe, too. While most times, plex is able to find xTeVe, and shows the correct channel list in the next step, I get an “Unknown Status” (“Unbekannter Fehler”) Error on the next page. (see screenshots)

I’m using PMS Version 1.18.1.1973 and the newest xTeVe Version.

@marmei Do you have an idea, how to debug / fix this error? I can’t find any useful information in the PMS or xTeVe log files.

Use the file path of the xteve.xml file. Not the HTTP link.

Thanks for your reply @marmei!

Unfortunately, that didn’t work out either. Do you have another idea what I could do differently?

Btw, when entering the local path “/volume1/docker/xteve/xteve/data/xteve.xml”, the plex console says:

DVR:Grabber: Checking device URI http:///volume1/docker/xteve/xteve/data/xteve.xml

Seems like it automatically adds “http://”.


@marmei Did you mean, I should enter the xml filepath in the screen here, mentioned on Step 7? https://support.plex.tv/articles/using-an-xmltv-guide/ I don’t even get to this step, as I get the “Unknown Status” Error directly after step 5.

Additionally, I found some logging information on the PMS console that might help finding the error:
