@alturismo, what's with the xteve?  is the alturismo/xteve now deprecated in favour of bl0m1/xteve?  Should it be removed from CA?

hi, bl0m1/xteve docker has nothing todo with me.

 

i made a template for dnsforge/xteve which is a simple docker without tvheadend extras etc and as im also in the xteve help channel and alot unraid users likes the dnsforge one i added that one too, im also supporting the main app xteve in the discord channel thats why it made sence cause many unraid users made setup failures with the enviroments.

 

the dnsforge maintainer is also in the xteve help channel and its ok for him to have his template on unraid, just as note.

i hope its fine, otherwise i remove it again if not welcome.

Sorry, misquoted.  but you've got dnsforge and the one you built yourself.  Are they both valid, or it the original deprecated?

[alturismo]

happy new Year

 

and yes, both are valid, i d remove the template if one wouldnt be valid anymore

Hi guys,

 

Just having a slight issue with this, on occasion from the logs it looks like it tries to open the IPTV Channel without the the authentication and fails to play the stream as it's unauthorised, as the the log:

 

2020-01-12 22:45:03 [xTeVe] [ERROR] Unauthorized (This error message comes from the provider) - EC: 4004

 

Is there a way to correct this?

 

Thanks

may check at the discord channel for xteve for help of the app itself.

This error means usually

- wrong user/pass

- wrong user agent

u can debug further by starting xteve in debug=3

Most of the time it works without me changing anything, for example this morning its working again. So it's very strange behavior!

as u see in the error its something with your playlist and your provider, nothing we can do here ...

if it works sometimes and sometimes not, may rise the playlist loads in xteve settings so its updated more often

A bit of help if possible. I use xteve to combine iptv and ota tv via hdhomerun. The hdhomerun m3u has e.g.

#EXTINF:-1 tvg-ID="BBC2" tvg-chno="2" tvg-name="BBC Two" tvg-logo="https://s3.amazonaws.com/schedulesdirect/assets/stationLogos/s17154_h3_aa.png",BBC Two
http://192.168.1.17:5004/auto/v102

With 192.168.1.17 being the address of the hdhomerun.

 

I'm now trying to add a second hdhomerun on 192.168.1.18. I had assumed that if I added another m3u, identical to my existing one except with the .18 ip, xteve would see that if there are no connections left to .17 for a specific channel, it will use .18 (limited to 4 connections per m3u).

 

Unfortunately, it looks to be ignoring the second source for the channel. Any idea how I can combine both hdhomeruns as one source/playlist?

i guess what u looking for is an fallback option, which xteve doesnt do and is not planned todo ...

what u looking for is a tv backend server like tvheadend which can handle this.

 

alternativ for xteve, assign alternative chan numbers, sample

Channel1 (hdhr1)   25

Channel1 (hdhr2)  25.1

 

then u have 2 channels in xteve pointing to each hdhr, not what u want, but an alternative

Thanks, I was hoping to dump tvheadend as it's such a PITA when channels move etc. Maybe not!

 

On the alternate channel numbers, are you talking in the playlist? Is this going to lead to duplicated channels in my epg?

as im using tvh ...

about dupes, i d say yes as each channel (15, 15.1) has needs own epg i assume u ll see all channels with epg twice

Hi Alturismo,

 

For those of us not well skilled in docker and just want guide data for plex, is your guide2go app sufficient or should I use xteve_g2g_owi? 

 

What command to run at the unraid command prompt to get schedules direct account all setup with the docker?

 

Thanks.

[alturismo]

@eds

depending now what u want todo

guide2go will grab your guide(s) from SD, xteve is a proxy for plex which will handle the streams etc and u can assign the guide, sort channels, etc etc

owi is to fetch guide data from open web interface enigma2 stb's ....

so in the end, it depends what u want, need, ...

 

the command(s) to run from the readme

 

setup guide2go SD subscrition as follows or copy your existing .json files into your mounted /guide2go folder

docker exec -it guide2go -configure /guide2go/lineup_name.json     <<-- u can use several lineups, check cronjob.sh

to test the cronjob functions

docker exec -it guide2go ./config/cronjob.sh

 

in the end, most common is probably xteve_g2g, idk many using a enigma2 stb  i needed it cause SD had some 4k channels missing here,

and as u need a proxy to get your streams into plex anyway .... is xteve a nice tool.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. 

 

So I decided for simplicity.  I just need the guide and I have an SD account.  

 

So with the guide2go docker I ran all the necessary commands, created the json and have the cronjob script.

When I run docker exec -it guide2go ./config/cronjob.sh, this is what I get:

Not sure what those errors are about.   I created a json file when the docker connected to SD. 

Also, I am not clear where the xml will be downloaded. 

 

The xmltv schedules direct docker allowed users to assign a custom directory.  This does not appear to be the case here, so I assume it will download into the guide2go directory?

Also,  all this command does

1. Change credentials from Schedules Direct
2. Add lineup
3. Remove lineup
4. Manage channels
0. Exit
Select entry: 0

I don't want to do any of these things so I exit.  This creates a json file with my username and password.

Now what?

[alturismo]

@eds

 

open the cronjob.sh in a editor ... so sample

Quote

use_guide2go="yes"
...

### List of created lineup json files in /guide2go
# sample with 3 jsons lineups
JsonList="HDTV.json SPORT.json UHD.json"

replace names in json.list ...

I really want to use the xteve_guide2go container but I'm completely lost.

 

I current use plain xteve, so I understand how to use use xteve. Where Im lost is how do I setup the guide2go portion? I don't understand any of the readme. What json file? where does it come from? how does it get there? how do i make sure it stays up do date? how do I run those commands? how do I actually get the info from guide2go into xteve?

It also may not help that I have never really used schedules direct before. I had it back a few years ago when i used nextpvr, and nextpvr just had a login field for schedules direct and it did the rest automatically.

 

Would anyone mind explaining how to get this going in a more step by step way? I hate being "that guy" but I really just don't get this one, and it doesn't seem to be popular enough for Google to be helpful.

[alturismo]

@relink

 

g morning, this is actually not the forum about the app but may some basics from the readme

 

https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/alturismo/xteve_guide2go

 

Quoted some parts from readme

 

Quote

Container Path: /guide2go <> /mnt/user/appdata/xteve/_guide2go/

here are your guide2go files after setting them up

Quote

setup guide2go SD subscrition as follows or copy your existing .json files into your mounted /guide2go folder

OR copy ... = if you have a EXISTING .json file from a previous g2g install ... which is created by running the command

Quote

docker exec -it "dockername" guide2go -configure /guide2go/"your_epg_name".json

if u didnt changed ... 

docker exec -it xteve_g2g guide2go -configure /guide2go/epg.json       <- epg.json could also be USA.json or whatever.

follow the instructions ... setup your lineups etc ... do this for EACH lineup (SD provides you 4) and give EACH a unique name ... see further down.

Quote

Container Path: /config <> /mnt/user/appdata/xteve/_config/

after docker start check your config folder and do your setups, setup is persistent, start from scratch by delete them

cron and xteve start options are updated on docker restart.

cronjob.sh  <- THIS IS MAJOR like in xteve ... also extra described in file

sample_cron.txt <- described in file

sample_xteve.txt <- described in file

here u have the general configurations inside like in xteve the cronjob.sh ... for g2g u have to enable AND edit this line

Quote

...

### List of created lineup json files in /guide2go
# sample with 3 jsons lineups
JsonList="HDTV.json SPORT.json UHD.json"

...

.

### END Config

jsonlist as described above ... the names u gave YOUR lineups, this is a SAMPLE entry

about cron and xteve start options ... rather leave that alone until you understand the basic

Quote

to test the cronjob functions
docker exec -it "dockername" ./config/cronjob.sh

if u didnt changed ... 

docker exec -it xteve_g2g ./config/cronjob.sh

u see the running job(s) you configured there ...

 

sample_cron.txt from /_config

Quote

printf '45 04 * * * /config/cronjob.sh' > /etc/crontabs/root

### remove from here including this line ###

### edit your cron time

### rename to cron.txt

### restart docker, new cron time from then

### no cron.txt it ll update daily at 00:00

last sentence from this file, IF u DONT touch it, it ll update daily at 00:00 ...

 

about how to run a command like docker exec ... in unraid, open the terminal and run it ... if thats the question.

 

about how to get xteve reads the guide2go files, they are now in your mounted volume system inside xteve_g2g docker,

so a XMLTV guide path could be /guide2go/USA.xml in xteve ...

 

now this is all copy/paste from the readme(s), may leave a not where u actually stuck so may someone else can help you further.

 

If the readme is so unclear or there is a failure please leave a message so i can correct it.

[relink]

 

Ah ok, I got it now. There is just a few missing details for someone who doesn't know how Schedules Direct works, or how Guide2Go works. Let me see if I can help a little bit for new users who don't know some of this stuff.

 

My guide will use the defaults or suggestions for as much as possible. it not meant to be thorough, its meant to get you going.

 

1. Install the docker with all the default and suggested mappings.

Container Path: /root/.xteve <> /mnt/user/appdata/xteve/

Container Path: /config <> /mnt/user/appdata/xteve/_config/

Container Path: /guide2go <> /mnt/user/appdata/xteve/_guide2go/

Container Path: /tmp/xteve <> /tmp/xteve/

Container Path: /TVH <> /mnt/user/appdata/tvheadend/data/ << not needed if no TVHeadend is used

the only change I made was I renamed my “xteve” folder to “xteveG2G”. I only did this because I had a current installation of Xteve that I didn’t want to interfere with.

 

2. Go to “/mnt/user/appdata/xteve/_config/” and open “cronjob.sh” with a text editor. (Im using Atom)     

1. Put a “yes” next to the API options you need and “no” by the ones you don’t.

2. Edit the JsonList with the channel lineups you want to have. Doesn’t have to be specific, just remember what it is. I literally made mine “1.json” and  that’s it.

3. Put in your Xteve IP and Port Number

4. Setup either Emby or Plex, instructions are in the file, or you can google it. I don’t use Emby, but plex wasn’t too hard to figure out.

5. I don’t use TVHeadend with this so im not sure what needs to be done if you do.

6. Save the file and close it.

7. In the same folder you can leave the 2 “sample” files alone unless you want to change those settings from the default.

 

3. Now start the docker and open a terminal in unraid, I used the built in unraid web terminal which can be accessed from the top bar to the left of the power button.

      1. Issue the following command;

docker exec -it xteve_guide2go guide2go -configure /guide2go/1.json

      Notice the json file is the same as you put in the cronjob.sh file you edited earlier.

     

2. Follow the setup prompts, the setup process is very self explanatory. As for the lineup to pick that’s upto you. I personally chose the Dishnetwork option that had my locals too.

 

4. Once your done setting up here, then run the next command.

docker exec -it xteve_guide2go ./config/cronjob.sh

      This will actually start pulling down the data, and it can get pretty big so give it some time.

 

5. Once the data has been downloaded now its time to set it up in Xteve.

      1. in Xteve add a new XMLTV file with the local path of “/guide2go/1.xml”.

 

Again notice it’s the same name as before but now its an XML file. So your lineup names will carry through.

 

6. That’s pretty much it, now you just need to go to each channel, set its XMLTV file and Channel and your done.

 

7. OPTIONAL FOR PLEX: I ran into an issue loading the xmltv file into Plex DVR using HTTP (which is how your supposed to do it). So I came up with a simple work around. Find the folder where “xteve.xml” is located, and map that folder into your Plex container.

So far example:

      My Xteve.xml is in “/mnt/user/appdata/xteveG2G/data/” so I mapped that folder to “/epg” in my Plex container.

      Now when I went to setup my DVR I put the XMLTV path as “/epg/xteve.xml” instead of using the URL from xteve like usual.

 

As far as setting up Xteve and Plex or Emby there are plenty of guides for that so I don’t need to get too specific.  

 

 

Sorry if I missed anything, I wrote this very quickly.

[alturismo]

may 2 additions, g2g needs long on the first run, as its building a cache it ll be way faster on updates due it runs daily ...

and about the common plex bug, the file size where http breaks is ~ 20 mb, all over there needs filepath instead http link.

 

small hint when u want to speed up and lower downloads and cpu usage on xml updates, u can shorten the .json list ...

just be careful, especially on the last entry with the <;>

faster then going through the SD setup with each channel etc ...

 

thanks @relink for this nice small walkthrough.
