An Emby Live TV Plugin for MediaPortal 1 - TVServer

In addition to Emby Server, this plugin requires a fully configured MediaPortal TVServer installation.

• MediaPortal installation guide
• MediaPortal TVServer setup

This has a prerequisite of installing MPExtended on the box that hosts MediaPortal. Both v0.5.4 and v0.6 are supported - however running v0.5.4 does not allow recordings to be deleted. However v0.6 does, so download and install from here:

• v0.5.4 - http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/updated-14-jul-mpextended-webmediaportal-0-5-4.114106/
• v0.6.0 - http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/mpextended-0-6-beta-release.125677/

MPExtended allows for testing of itself, please check that it is working correctly by opening the configuration (from the system tray icon) going to Troubleshooting and clicking the links displayed. You should see a browser with something like "{"ApiVersion":4,"HasConnectionToTVServer":true,"ServiceVersion":"0.5.4"}" displayed (depending on the version installed). We are only interested (currently) in the TV and Streaming services.
