![]() On the next screen, do the same thing for the dizqueTV's XMLTV link in the top right.Ĭopy the dizqueTV's XMLTV link to the xTeVe configuration: You'll want to paste that M3U url into the 'M3U Playlist' field in the xTeVe configuration window: Navigate to the dizqueTV instance and right click the 'M3U' link in the top right and copy the URL ![]() We have to specify an initial m3u playlist during the configuration, so we're going to use the m3u playlist provided by our dizqueTV instance. We're going to specify our own EPG data, so we're selecting 'XPEG' and click 'Next'. Next we have to select an EPG (electronic program guide) source, either PMS or XPEG. For our setup since my personal HDHomeRun tuner only has two tuners on it, I am selecting 2. This number determines the number of concurrent streams available from xTeVe. Number of tunersįirst you will need to select the number of tuners ![]() You can find more specific information for that here, but for now we'll use some pretty basic settings just for our specific setup with HDHomeRun. When you first launch xTeVe you will need to do some initial configuration. You can now open xTeVe by going to it's url: MY_IP:34400/web/ Initial xTeVe setup v /home/docker/xteve/_config:/config:rw \ This container also supports Schedules Direct for EPG/XMLTV data, if you purchased a subscription for that. We will be using the dnsforge xTeVe container because it contains Zap2XML, which lets us scrap EPG/XMLTV data from or which is what we will use for the HDHomeRun OTA guide data later on in xTeVe. Sudo mkdir /home/docker/plex-share/xteve Create xTeVe container # This is where we will set the container to save the scrapped EPG/XMLTVdata to We'll need to create the 'shared' folder that xTeVe will use to store it's EPG XMLTV data that is scrapped. Like with our dizqueTV setup, we will be using the directory /home/docker/plex-share/ as a shared volume for xTeVe, and will contain a directory where our EPG XMLTV files will be stored. Like with dizqueTV, I like to organize my docker container directories into a home folder, so we need to create the new home folder for the xTeVe container. This EPG data will be used for our HDHomeRun OTA TV guide. The container we will be using for the xTeVe setup is by dnsforge and is located here: We are using this container because it contains Zap2XML support that will be used to scrap the EPG/guide/XMLTV data from or. Like the previous setup with dizqueTV, this will be done on Ubuntu 18.04.3 using docker containers. Since HDHomeRun does not provide its own EPG information, we will get that information from either creating a free account at or. This setup requires a little bit of extra work because of the way Plex handles EPG (electronic program guide) and only lets you use EPG from a single source, so we will need to use another program called xTeVe in order to "merge" both our dizqueTV streams and EPG information with our HDHomeRun stream. If you have a Plex Pass subscription, Plex can be setup to integrate with TV Tuner so you can watch your OTA TV using Plex and also schedule Plex to record OTA TV.įor this post, I will be going through the setup for integrating Plex with an HDHomeRun TV tuner in order to watch your over-the-air (OTA) channels, while also having the custom channels previously setup in dizqueTV. If you use Plex and watch TV by watching any of the over-the-air (OTA) channels in your area, then I highly recommend picking up one of the HDHomeRun TV tuners. For what is essentially "Part 1", read Creating custom "TV channel" streams in Plex using dizqueTV.
