I've got Kodi 14.2 (mythbuntu/kodibuntu) on my "media center" PC. I have a MythTV backend running ver 0.27 on a separate mythbuntu machine. The PVR plugin is installed and enabled.

Unless it was a super-realistic dream, Live TV had been working a few weeks ago. Now, it's gone. Perhaps something was updated that introduced an incompatibility, but I'm not sure how to tell.

I can see Live TV with myth frontend running on the myth backend box. I can also see live tv from a third computer running myth frontend. It appears to be operating normally. I have the Kodi PVR configured the same as the myth frontend on the other PC.

In the System Info I can see the PVR Service, and it lists the correct URL, and shows correct available disk space, etc. on the backend. I see that there are the correct number of recordings and upcoming recordings. It also shows 0 channels, which looks suspicious.

I've uploaded the log here: http://goo.gl/uVaSln

What are my next steps?

Thanks

As you are on ubuntu go for the ppa.

Quote:I see errors with connecting to the hostname myth-test.control, which seems odd (as in the .control part of the hostname seems odd). eg

What exactly do you have the backend host set to in your pvr.mythtv settings. Try setting it to the backend's IP address and see what happens.

This is probably the reason you are not seeing any channels. pvr.mythtv cannot load the channel information from mythtv backend.


Are you running the latest 0.27 fixes on your mythtv backend ?

From a terminal connected to the mythtv-backend please post the output from mythbackend --version

Also what is the version of the pvr.mythtv addon ?

Your latest log still shows the error when getting channel data from mythtv-backend.
The data in the log shows that ChannelName is "" (i.e. missing) for ChanNum 18-7 and 18-8
This may or may not be significant, I am out of my depth with SchedulesDirect.

Can you try deselecting visible checkbox for these two channels using Mythweb on the mythtv-backend and then running kodi, to see if the remaining channels now appear in kodi.

Quote:Another thing you could try is, using a browser pastebin the result of the following command, changing the ip address to that of your mythtv-backend server.

http://192.168.0.22:6544/Channel/GetChannelInfoList?SourceID=1&StartIndex=0&Count=100

This will display all the channel data that pvr.mythtv will get (the kodi log file gets truncated due the quantity of data)

Mount it at, say, /mnt/media and make a directory inside it called recordings. Make it's ownership right with

Code:

chown -R mythtv:mythtv /mnt/media/recordings

Then set it to mount on each boot in /etc/fstab

Then in mythtv-setup set /mnt/media/recordings as your default storage group.

(2015-05-14, 18:50)MikeB2013 Wrote: Looked at output of ChannelInfoList command.

There is definitely bad data in mythtv-backend database (pvr.mythtv assumes good data).
ChannelNames for channum 38_1 and 41_1 contain some zip code data after the Channel Names, plus I suspect non-printing characters :


plus http://xbmclogs.com/pbbgdikic indicates error on line 5 at column 13751: Char 0x0 out of allowed range


As a quick test you could use mythweb to delete these channels and run kodi again.

Been too embarrassed with my progress this week trying to learn how to execute your instructions. I am now here:

1. The storage drive ended up in media/kn/086d7ccxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. I tried remounting to /mnt/media but that was a disaster so a few minutes ago I figured not worth wasting more days and leave it where it is.

2. I assumed “recordings” go on the storage drive rather than the same directory as the drive. media/kn/086d7ccxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/recordings.

3. Appending fstab didn't work, however I had not done ownership right yet figuring fstab more important a step.

UUII=1111axxxxxxxxxxxxxx / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
UUII-6865bxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx none swap sw 0 0
# I appended
UUII=086d7cxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /media/kn 0 0

Computer didn't like that addition. I humbly ask any direction you might have time to share.
