Hello Folks.
I encountered a problem setting up my kodi vnsi combo at home. I have one NUC connected to my TV running a combo of
Manjaro Linux
Kodi 17.3
aur/kodi-addon-pvr-vdr-vnsi 2.6.17-1
Until recently the VNSI server was running on an external Ubuntu machine which is - unfortunately - out of service now. So I added the Geniatec T230C DVB-T2 stick (+firmware files) to the manjaro box above and installed:
aur/vdr-vnsiserver 2:1.5.2-1
After making all necessary config changes, I am able to select my channels in Kodi, but I only get the audio signal, no video. Funny thing is that I can access the vdr-streamdev outside of kodi by VLC directly and happily watch all channels with audio and video. Therefore I guess, there is some incompatibility between the vnsiserver and the addon in Kodi that I am using? Any suggestions what I should do on my platform? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the system-log of vdr starting and an unsuccessful connection-try:
