XBMC keeps restarting when trying to get EPG data.
The log now goes sometimes al little further.

And so on till it stops and XBMC restarts (not a complete reboot of TLBB).
I think it has something to do with some kind of buffer overflow.
Could someone give me a hint?

Seems they aren't implemented yet.
PVRClientMythTV::SetRecordingLastPlayedPosition and related functions are currently commented out in pvrclient-mythtv.cpp.

I think I was able to implement them using Protocol Commands. As I am completely new to Kodi and Kodi Addon development, would anyone be able to point me in the right direction of where to use those functions?

This function is not provided anymore by the addon, cause MythTV services don't provide it. But Kodi allows two ways to handle it: provided by addon or handled by Kodi. So now it is provided by Kodi itself and these info are stored in Kodi database.
Once any service will be available from backend, i will add option to select which method to use.

you really are lucky ! it was made as you had imagined

Please check the branch https://github.com/janbar/xbmc-pvr-addons/tree/master_backend_override

Thank You, it's perfect! Sorry for reply delay. I will test master backend override support deeper (in different situations) later and let you know results. I'm happy to see this addon is step by step better and xbmc finally become great frontend for mythtv!

I've tried on a different rasperry pi and it fails as well. Mythtv on a regular computer is able to list recordings and play just fine.

If you flip through the OpenELEC test builds thread (where the Milhouse builds are posted) I think you will find a reference to this issue. I believe it is fixed in the nightlies. See this thread: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=210774

I was wondering if there is any solution getting the shows recorded by mythtv "marked as watched" in kodi when one has completed watching the recording. There are some earlier posts that mention running mythtv 0.28 and they are getting it to work. Is there a setting I am just overlooking or is it a version thing?

I am running Kodi 14.0 on a Ubuntu 14.04 system that also runs Mythtv 0.27.3. I am on version 1.11.3 of the Mythtv PVR client.

It's not urgent but I do miss that feature.
Thanks for the great add-on

Hello Janbar,
I just want to report, that master backend support is working as expected. I finally tried different situations (slave backend availability/location of recorded file) and all went well. I found only one cosmetic thing - I think this log message should be in NOTICE level not ERROR:

Code:

ERROR: AddOnLog: MythTV PVR Client: OpenRecordedStream: You should uncheck option 'MasterBackendOverride' from MythTV setup

Based on mythtv storage group philosophy, recorded files can be places in different storages around all backends and I havent found any rule saying that every recorded file has to be visible from master backend (if master backend override is set).

Is master backend support already included in latest addon version?

Thank You again!
