also update on the ts stutter bug. its been confirmed as a bug in Gotham Alpha and now showing as milestone Future / Pending => 13.0. we're on 12.2 at the moment aren't we? sounds promising!

Hey Spaceboy,

I found a fix for the error that stops streams from starting on some avc/h264 broadcasts in the UK. It works on the files you sent me (it will be in the next release). If the xbmc team can fix the stuttery playback in the ts files, we should be good.

I started a thread dedicated specifically to the wiki pages associated with ServerWMC and pvr.wmc. Pro-active users and developers are encouraged to add it to their list of subscribed threads. If you have any suggestions for items needing to be added, updated, clarified, etc., please feel free to comment there. I want to keep this thread as dedicated as possible to the matters at hand.

I added some more descriptions and updated screenshots to reflect changes in 1078 today. Long way to go but I'm getting there...

kr -

I removed the delayed start-up software and am running build 1078 exclusively. So far, so good. I have not had any issues like I was experiencing before. Thank you sooo much for all of your hard work on this project. It really is greatly appreciated. I am very, very close to returning my STB and using this exclusively. (Which really means the wife has almost fully adopted it. lol)

Thanks

Thanks for your great work on this.
I have one issue at the moment. I have one group of channels (SBS TV in Australia) that will not play on XBMC. When I try to watch SBS an error appears saying that the stream did not contain video. Every other channel works within XBMC.
I can watch SBS with no problems within WMC7. I can schedule a recording of SBS from within XBMC with no problem and watch the recording with no problem in XBMC.

Wierd, but annoying.
Here is my log file ***

Any help would be great
Cheers!

I really need the log from the server side not from the xbmc side. So start the server, try to start this channel, after it fails go to the debug tab in the server and get the log file. Paste this log file into pastebin.com and put the link to it here.

Can't say for sure. If you want, restart the server and try to start this channel, after it fails put the server log on pastebin.com and put a link to it here and I'll take a look. Or wait for the new release, I hope to get it out tomorrow or the next day.

I can't say. The ones that don't play at all, hopefully is the bug I just fixed. I'm interested in the monochrome ones, if you can, save a short wtv from one of these like you did before, put the wtv file here:

and let me know when its there.

I continued testing and ran XBMC on my WMC 7 machine running ServerWMC, channel changing was much quicker most of the time and BBC1 worked some of the time but not everytime. I'm beginning to wonder if it's just timing out one this channel but not on others.

I have a SSD in the WMC PC for the OS and 2TB sata disk for the storage. the recorded TV folder is on the 2TB SATA disk. Do you think I would see improvements by moving the temprec location to SSD?

Cheers

Also, I don't recall if disabling the auto-adjust refresh rate fixed the 50Hz playback issue, but I do recall that auto refresh rate adjust and margro's build had issues link

Furthermore, KR is the default behavior of wmc.pvr supposed to leave the live tv files in the TempXBMC folder of Recorded TV?

The log says no data is being generated, but I can't see why. Can you see if you have the file
***\tempxbmc\savedfordebug\LiveTV_HomeTheater-PC_DVB-T_33_2013_10_20_19_19_10.wtv

if you do, place it here:
https://drive.google.com/?authuser=0#folders/0ByNnAMYBoWvfQVBBNzFhZmNPWUE

let me know if/when its there. I'll let you know what I find.

I unfortunately also had stutter issue using DVB-S2 HD channels (Canal Digitaal HD) using OpenELEC Generic 3.2.3.
All SD channels (either MPEG2 or h264) work great.
I hope XBMC will fix issue 14622 soon.

I do have a question though. All channels go in the TV category eventhough the last 8 channels on my server are radio channels.
Is it possible to sort the radio channels to the radio category?

Another request I have, could it be possible to make the "Close button" behaviour configurable on the server side?
I would love it to not Close the software but to hide in the systray when the closebutton is pressed (as it works with many server programs).

All-in-all I really love ServerWMC! Thanks again!
