The TV guide is not being populated:
Check the XMLTV guide.
If it is just shows the list of channels with nothing below them, the provider likely does not supply a guide.
Try switching to a different provider.
I've modified the channels, but Plex isn't changing:
you must delete the dvr from plex, and re add it.
Error getting channel data for [Portal], skipping or Error making XMLTV for [Portal], skipping Go to the portals page, select the malfunctioning portal and click retest. You have an expired mac address, and it was trying to use it to download the data.
Channel logos may not display when viewed in a browser. This is likely due to your browsers security, related to HTTP files being served on an HTTPS domain.
This issue does not occur with PLEX HTPC, the mobile apps, or the TV app. To watch from a PC, use PLEX HTPC. If any logos are still missing, it means the provider isn't supplying them.
Another note about Plex HTPC, you must enable Force Direct Play in the settings.
MacReplay is based on the incredible work done by Chris230291 with the original STB-Proxy.
