I was so excited to test the client on my Linux htpc!! ..until:

ERROR: Unable to load ~/.xbmc/addons/pvr.wmc/XBMC_WMC.pvr, reason: ~/.xbmc/addons/pvr.wmc/XBMC_WMC.pvr: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32

Can you compile a 64bit Linux version?

[krustyreturns]

Real quick. The instructions say the PVR addon will be "disabled" but mine was enabled by default.

I have had this problem before with other testers, it has something to do with the manual install of the client and how I prepare the client builds for release. I will try to nail it down. It should not cause a problem though.

No go on my end. I add the addon to the directory and it is automatically enabled. I then go to LiveTV and try to enable it and this is the output from the log:

Also, I get a runtime error as shown here:

and oh yeah...Who's victor? lol C:\users\victor is not an account on my box :OP

Don't trust the already enabled thing. Its a bug, its not really fully enabled. Disable the pvr.wmc close it. Then open it and 're' enable it.

Actually, no I can't. Its another developer who ported the client to linux and did the build, I have the code but not the capability to compile to linux. Possible the other developer will read this.

I plan on updating my goofy little website today with the link to the git that has the client code, so if anyone who wants to compile for other platforms they can have a go at it. Sorry that's all I can do for now.

Hey everybody,

I should have also mentioned this software only works on frodo <= 12.2. I will update the website accordingly.

[krustyreturns]

Oh and...

The server logs (see 'debug' tab in server windows) are usually more useful to me that the xbmc logs. So please post these too when you have problems.

I figured as much. I tried disabling, closing xbmc and enabling it again. However, when I go to LiveTV and try to enable it I still get the runtime error shown in the screenshot.

EDIT: I'll get some debug going.

Oh. Please send me a server log after the error occurs.

[JuggalotusHeat]

The server itself isn't throwing any errors when this occurs. Here is the server log as well as XBMC debug.

Krusty - would you consider creating a subforum under the PVR http://forum.xbmc.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=167 ? Maybe the more people that are aware of this the more interest and/or help in troubleshooting and development.

That a good idea, but I am not sure how to go about it and I have enough to do already. If someone else wants to take it on, that would be great.

Short of that, making a new thread since we are in a new phase and this one is monstrously long already might be good stopgap.

[opdenkamp]

I don't agree on creating a subforum in the user support section for something that is still under development, and that is not included in our repos yet. As soon as it's included, sure, but not just yet.

doh! well here is the thread with general info - for those who may want to help move this project forward http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=171188

Yeah the server has never heard of the client. It looks you are running them on the same machine, but somehow the socket communication between them is throwing an error. When you first ran the server, windows should have thrown up a window asking you if its okay to allow the server to communicate, did you allow it?

[krustyreturns]

on closer inspection the server is not able to start the socket server. If it started successfully you should see in the server log:
SocketServer> started on port: 9080

but its not in the log file you sent. Unfortunately there aren't any diagnostics for why its not starting either - oops.

This is working fairly well for me. Issues that I have:

- Trying to stream a programme that is currently recording causes a crash (error below)

- Playing back HD content (MPEG4) is jerky. This is on my main desktop PC (Core i5, dedicated graphics, 8GB RAM) and it should not have any issues. It plays smoothly very briefly and then it pauses for a fraction of a second before rushing to catch-up again. The log is below of the stream I was trying:

I did not see any popups. Are you referring to Windoze asking for firewall permissions? I'll do a full reinstall of the server again and see if I missed something.
