Using Plex as an XtraView DVR

[DrJohnZoidberg]

Did you use a TV capture card to get this to work... do you have a guide on how you got this to work for you?

It is possible to get guide data but I've found what you can get is of very poor quality that's it's probably not worth the effort. There are some tools (like WebGrab+Plus) that use some unofficial sources to generate XML guide data - it works kind of but has a lot of missing information.

I was able to get it to run by generating my own epg data for the dvb t2 channels. See attached

Hi there, what device did you attach to your plex server to make this work?

Any tuner on the supported list that is dvb-t2 capable should work fine: https://support.plex.tv/articles/225877427-supported-dvr-tuners-and-antennas/

I personally have a HD Homerun Connect Duo which works flawlessly (you can get them off Amazon).

Thank you for the reply - tell me, what antenna do you have installed - is it an indoor one or an outdoor antenna installed on the roof?

I just just an indoor and it's fine.

I used to be able to get the EPG for etv on my tv with digital tuner, but since last week it's gone.

Anyone know why or how to fix?
