Especially when it comes to keymapping....trying to make sure something I set-up in the TV Guide, doesn't mess up something else in the rest of kodi

One of the examples uses the Kodi temp directory which should be writeable by ffmpeg.

Write the value of any variable you're interested in in the log with:
xbmc.log(repr(variable))
where variable might be cmd or filename for example.

Make sure ffmpeg is working on the command line first. You won't be able to see any error values when you run it from Kodi.
It needs the full path for the output path.

I have no idea on how to rn in cmd prompt in android ?

Hmm I'll have to do a lot more work I think.

I'm not even sure I have done things correctly. I used the binary example that you linked too. If i needed to do anything to that file, then I need to research how to

I did copy the wrong .playwith example.

Heres you android one:

Code:

# Play with your own preferred player and paths
if url:
    name = "%s=%s=%s" % (start,channel,title)
    name = re.sub(' ','_',name)
    name = name.encode("cp1252")
    filename = xbmc.translatePath("special://temp/%s.ts" % name)
    #filename = "/storage/external_storage/sda1/recordings/%s.ts" %name   <-------- My plan here is to change this special://home/recordings (for testing) (is this ok/will it work!?)
    ffmpeg = r"/data/data/ffmpeg"                                                               <------------------- To me this is the location of where i have put the ffmpeg file? I'll move it to special://home/
    cmd = [ffmpeg, "-y", "-i", url, "-c", "copy", "-t", str(seconds), filename]  <---------------- Need to read up
    p = Popen(cmd,shell=False)
    if p.wait() != 0:
        xbmc.log("There were some errors")

Only Kodi understands the special:// paths. You have to use the full Android path for filename.

I suppose a remote adb shell app would be easiest to get to the command line on an Android TV box.
Maybe this:

I would do some experiments on Windows first if I were you then you can watch the processes and work out how to run ffmpeg.

Why I cant use latest version ? When I update, my channel order and all channel settings get lost. So I copied old addon/userdata version back.
Backup of channel mapping is helping here ?

The last version that might have reset the channels was 0.0.238, I think.
That was 3 or 4 days ago.

There are lots of Settings that force a channel reset.
This post tells you about some:

Did you manage to get the old mapping back with:
userdata\addon_data\script.tvguide.fullscreen\custom_stream_urls_autosave.ini

I'll try this evening. I have 0.0.21xxx, I think. You mean now manually copy "custom_stream_urls_autosave.ini" and after update & db.update copy back ?

I figured that I can only find ffmpeg for ARMv7 processors. As my box is a v8 I am halted here for the time being. As it's something I really want to do, I am now trying on Windows but a headache has stopped me in my tracks. I'd like to PM you some more questions once I've tried again.

So I am just tidying up my "build" as they call it and hopefully when I am feeling more up to it, I'll be able to crack it. For now at least I am very happy with the guide.

This post says ffmpeg supports ARMv8 but you have to build it yourself.

That should keep you busy.

Definitely!
Hopefully when I'm feeling better. Right now everything is a blur so I'm doing more simple point and click stuff.. (I think I've gone code blind!)

I want to try this search and play.... You mention meta4kodi.... does this mean the meta addon? Or is it built in to the guide?

Also for example say most of the BBC stuff doesn't have Season Numbers and Episodes so the search is rather generic (tested using isearch) Is there a way so it's can identify the episode and then search it?

isearch and mysearch - what is the difference here?

Sorry for all these questions.

...the ability to.... is this something that would mean further code has to be added or can a user setup from within kodi?

I can't believe how useful this guide is. Gets better and better.
