What happened to PVR:// Special Protocol, is it broken in the latest beta 5?

PVR:// reveals the proper folders, but doesn't allow you to open them... JsonRPC also doesn't work for listing PVR:// folders.

I'm using a nextpvr backend, btw...

Thanks

Could you please describe your issue with more details

[Lunatixz]

Create a video source PVR://, folders are created, but do not populate with (files) channel data from backend.

Same with json GetDirectory, and PVR://

Also direct PVR links are broken, pvr://channels/tv/All TV channels/0.pvr

I'm running NextPVR backend, so I don't know if the issue is limited to Kodi beta 5 and that backend.

Beyond this information I can't help you, I've never examined XBMC source code, So I can not help pinpoint the issue, but it does seem the PVR:// protocol is the issue.

it works fine for me if I add a new video source pointing to the path pvr://channels/tv/All TV channels/

Yes, it does for me as well, now try just pvr://

and also try and call a pvr link though the player directly, not through menu, using xbmc.player()

did some tests and yeah you are right ... this should be fixed with https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/5831

pvr://channels/tv/All TV channels/0.pvr .... zero is not a valid channel id/number IIRC.

sure it is

Been using it for almost a year now

Channel 1 = 0.pvr
Channel 2 = 1.pvr

guessing it's an array count

great, thought I was going crazy

[xhaggi]

you are right but pvr://channels/tv/All channels/0.pvr works fine for me.

does it make sense if we create a test-build so you can test if everything works also the jsonRPC stuff?
if so please let me know which OS you use.

Not sure, Need to test the pvr:// through xbmc.player some more since you said it's working...

Yes, this build appears to have fixed my issues with the PVR:// Protocol, Thank You!

Will it be merged with the nightly?

Thanks again...

::Update::

Okay everything seems okay, but I still can't get any PVR:// links to play when passed through python's xbmc.player()

This is code that works in gotham So this must be another bug in helix?

[xhaggi]

Thank you for your response. The fix is merged into mainline and should become available in the next nightly.

If i found time i'll check why the built-in Player(...) command fails with pvr://channels/tv/All channels/0.pvr.

does it also fail if you use 1.pvr or 2.pvr etc?
