In Guide Channel column, use down arrow to select match Tuning Channel to Schedule Direct guide info.Click Visible in Guide Column heading to sort visible to not visible.Go down list line by line and select channels under Visible in Guide Column.What should appear is Tuning Channels from initial setup, TV Channel scanning. Emby is specifically mentioned as one of the prohibited users, and that applies even if the data is downloaded via a permitted open-source product such as MP's TV Server plugin. Please be advised that the Schedules Direct terms of service prohibit using Schedules Direct data with commercial products (this is part of the contract between Schedules Direct and Gracenote, who are the ones who actually collect and aggregate the EPG data).

(5) Finally, I note that you want to use the EPG with Emby. See this post from UK user wjw (who uses Schedules Direct successfully with MP). (4) If you want to use Schedules Direct, you will need to download the data in JSON format, use a JSON to XML conversion tool to convert to XML, and then use the XmlTv plugin to load the XML data into TV Server.

So, the plugin will work well for users in the USA and Canada, but not for users elsewhere in the world. The TV Server plugin cannot process JSON data - the plugin requires data in XML format. For all of the other countries, the data is provided in JSON format. (3) Unfortunately, SD provide EPG data in XML format only for the USA and Canada. (2) If you browse the Schedules Direct web site, you will see that SD provide EPG data for many different countries, one of which is the UK. The trick is to use the correct version - I used version 1.11.0.3 which can be downloaded from this post. (1) I downloaded the plugin and installed it without problem on a pre-release version of MP 1.26.

(I actually used 1.11.01, which is working so I'm not going to mess with it, but I noticed afterward there was an update. You'll need to click the Project folder, click SchedulesDirectPlugin-1.11.0.2.mpe1, then download. Get SchedulesDirect plugin from GitHub.Make sure you pay attention to point 3 and 5.įor anyone else who gets stuck trying to install SchedulesDirect, here is what I did.
