[x86-64] TVHeadEnd and Schedules Direct

  • I have been running XBMC/Kodi/Libreelec on x86 based HTPC's since MS discontinued support for Media Center with the release of Windows 10. I am currently using Libreelec 12.2.1 as a media manager for my CD/DVD/Bluray collection stored on my Treunas server and as a DVR for OTA broadcasts. I have been using TVHeadend for the PVR functions for several years, but about eight months ago it stopped grabbing season/episode info for the recordings. After months of manually adding that info to the recordings I am finally trying to automate that process again. Living in USA it seems the best solution is using an account from Schedules Direct to create a XLMTV file TVHeadend can use. The problem I am running into is trying to find a way to do this in Libreelec. Googling the problem leads to an obsolete LE add-on that requires Python 2 or using a script built into TVHeadend that uses Perl. All of my HTPC's are x86 processor based with multiple internal Hauppauge ATSC tuners that record to the Truenas server so I can access all my recordings and media files from each of our TV's. So my question is are there any other USA based Libreelec users currently using a SD account to get OTA TV info with TVHeadend that might be able to point me to a current solution to this issue?

  • Using NextPVR instead of TVHheadend this is a piece of cake, no XMLTV the JSON data is totally integrated using the username and password you were likely using with EPG123 and you get the meta art too.
