I'd like to get the metadata bit working but I'm not too fussed if I'm honest.Īs to your bottom question, all the parameters I posted are for TVH. Streaming works which is good, so that gives me recorded content on all my Plex-connected devices, including using Plex' excellent transcoding capabilities so it fits the bill for me. What part of TVPlexendAgent isn't working? I didn't know about that plugin so I installed it last night - Plex now "see's" the files in my library (which it didn't before) but I don't see any metadata being pulled down from TVH. Thanks again.īy the way, I tried to create the kodi profile you suggested and I got all of the parameters inputted, but what are the transcoding settings for? Are those settings for the tvheadend streaming profile or are they settings within Kodi (plex) itself?

that's my next step, but I'll let you know if I make any progress improving the live streaming experience. However, I installed it and so far it isn't working. Somone tipped me off to a great plugin called TVPlexendAgent ( ) which claims to do the trick of grabbing the metadata from tvheadend and supplying it to Plex.

However, since 90% of my viewing will be DVR'd shows I want to get that integration with Plex working better. This is a great step forward for me so thanks. Since you asked, my tvheadend server is installed on the UnRaid OS (linux based) headless server as a docker and I have to use my Windows computer to access the interface via a browser. I still haven't got it to stream with Firefox (what I usually use). I will say, however that streaming from Plex to a wireless Roku box did have a few buffering interruptions but I tested it with Plex on my wired desktop and it seems to be working fine, so the wireless seems to be the problem there. So I set the webm profile as the default (something I thought I had tried before) and it works with Plex! I also tried IE and when I clicked to play the channel it asked me to open/save the file so when I clicked "open" it opened VLC (separately from IE) and started streaming video (again, with the webm as default).

Video codec preset: veryfast: h264 / h265 / qsv(h264)Īudio codec: aac: AAC (Advanced Audio Coding)Īs an added bonus, this also works with Kodi Video codec: libx264: libx264 H.264 / AVC / MPEG-4 AVC / MPEG-4 part 10 FYI the following profile also works (which I set up for 3G/low bandwidth playback) Ĭontinue even if descrambling fails: TRUE If you don't have that profile, let me know and I'll post the settings. I've just tried the default webtv-vp8-vorbis-webm profile using Chrome and it works fine (but in Kodi I get no sound with this profile so compatibility varies wildly). Streaming support depends very much upon codec support in each browser, the recommended option is to use WEBM-based profiles.
