I have it, thanks. Is this version for xbmc frodo or gotham?

It's for XBMC Frodo 12.2. I'll attempt a Gotham build next.

but you are correct, that view doesn't really fit with what i have seen. it happens on all 4 BBC channels whether in HD or SD and obviously some of the SD recordings are

you asked about the radio channels a couple of pages back, i get the same. radio is made available over dvb-s and i think dvb-t channels in the UK. if you are a proper sky customer you see them as channels available on your set top box with epg and everything. they are just streams without video. so dvblink does nothing special here

so in WMC and XBMC these radio channels just show up in the guide as if they were tv channels. no difference. In WMC it is actually impossible to get the radio channels to show up in the radio section because they are received by dvb-s when its expecting them to be received in FM. i guess there might be a way to hack the radio streams to appear in the radio section on xbmc but its not a big concern for me

The audio problem was easy to solve, live-tv will work for you now. Apparently you are the first guy who has tried to remux AAC - weird that it hasn't come up before. Glad you sent in the files! I have the fix integrated into the stuff I am working on now, if you are desperate to try it, I could give you an experimental build. Otherwise it will be in the next server release - I hope by this weekend.

I'm not sure what to do about the same channel being listed twice, my software differentiates the channel by tuning space - even though in your case it is exactly the same channel in two difference spaces. I will think about merging them, but are sure you don't want to choose what tuner to use when you watch one? What do others think? Possibly I could make merging them an option in the server.

Lastly, I am not sure why your epg is crashing, but I really doubt it is something I am doing. If you can reproduce exactly what happens when it crashes that might help. Also you could experiment with how much data you fetch from the server in the xbmc settings.

(2013-10-31, 03:22)mit3gt Wrote: First I'd like to say fantastic work. I have been looking for a solution like this for some time. I am unfortunately having issues. I cannot get Live TV working. I get the "No data on channel' error. Viewing recorded TV works fine. My setup is kind of unique. I am using DVBlink software with virtual tuners with colossus cards as well some qam cards. I am running XMBC Frodo using mysql. Everything works fine in WMC. I see a couple other people (in this thread) are using DVBlink with HDPVR boxes and having success, so I don't know why I cannot get this to work. Also, my guide, when in timeline view locks up XBMC. I don't know if any of this is related. I am running a local client on the same PC as ServerWMC. ServerWMC seems to be working, its making connections where it should (I think), It is pulling data (channels, epg entries, recordings, etc). I have checked the logs and they keep stating:

I really hope I can get this working. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

It looks like it is crashing because it is finding an audio subtype that we haven't encountered before. Go to your recorded tv folder and look in:
tempxbmc\savedfordebug

hopefully in this folder you will find this file:
LiveTV_mediacenter_DVB-T_4_2013_10_30_20_31_52.wtv

upload this file to:
https://drive.google.com/?authuser=0#folders/0ByNnAMYBoWvfQVBBNzFhZmNPWUE

let me know when its there and I'll let you know what I find. Thanks.

Done. I had to create new files because I had "delete temporary files" unchecked in ServerWMC, and it wasn't putting any files into tempxbmc\savedfordebug.

i'll look at the BBC problem when i'm home i need to be able to see the pi for that unfortunately!

From the XBMC log file :

Much appreciated!!

But I'm not sure if these channels have a specific database setting in WMC, like "Radio" or "Television".

@Krusty:
I uploaded a 47 second (1,5MB) manual recording to your Google drive

I actually think you could move the wtv files into a hierarchical structure and wmc will just ignore it and continue listing as it does now - just based on metadata. I haven't messed with this a lot and I don't know if wmc will still delete files past their expiration if you do this, but I bet it would. You are right that you can't do anything about the file that is being recorded to, but moving it after its done recording I think would work. My inclination though would be to leave the wmc directory alone if possible.

I think it would be nice to have more sort features in xbmc too, but that is an xbmc thing, we can't control that in the addon. Best ask for this feature from the xbmc team.

(2013-11-01, 01:14)spinnaker Wrote: I tired moving some wtv files. The WMC found them again without a hitch. I was very surprised. Sadly nothing changed in xbmc. There was no hierarchy for the moved files. I tired rebooting then restarting the server and xbmc but files still show as flat. This tells me that simply moving the files is not going to do it. There must be something in other pvr addons that gives the hierarchy appearance to the files..

(2013-11-01, 01:30)krustyreturns Wrote: [

I knew it wouldn't be as simple as all that. After you have a hier structure, you somehow have to change a field called 'strDirectory' and its relationship to the file url that is passed to xbmc. Maybe Margro is lurking again and will fill us in .

I was thinking today that if we solve this it might solve the slow recordings display time seen on rpi systems. So even more reason to explore it.

(2013-11-01, 02:10)spinnaker Wrote: Then it may not need to be moved. I just noticed something in the recordings listing. The episode name is not being shown. Just the series name. I am guessing because only the series name is used in the file name. The meta data will need to be read from the wtv file. If I can get a copy of the source, I would be happy to ive it a look.
