My question though was do you have 'SD channels' and 'HD channels' on NextPVR as well as zuki?

Running HDHR tuners to NextPVR is quite straightforward, why did it not work?

Martin

They might of been added when i tried the tuners with nextpvr, not sure but there not on nextPVR now.

The tuners worked great just couldnt get the epg to work. 
didnt wanna go down the schedules direct route, i assumed it would just work like the zuki addon pulls the epg.

They were going to NextPVR this morning, maybe empty the database and send the logs again.

On the weekend, I released a utility to automate getting the Silicondust EPG data as XMLTV file https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?tid=64648

Yes @ksooo needs to follow up, if he doesn't follow up here, then you will need to create an issue on github

For sure Kodi is looking for those zuki groups on NextPVR which might explain it.

But there are also really unexplainable log entries.  After loading the NextPVR channel groups, I see this for each group

2023-03-30 20:30:40.869 T:3764 debug <general>: Persist: Persisting channel group 'IPTV Channels' with 0 channels

yet later on when core tries to add channels to the group it says it can't find any of the  groups

2023-03-30 20:30:43.197 T:3764 error <general>: operator(): Cannot find group 'IPTV Channels' or channel '7951'

so it deletes each of them

2023-03-30 20:30:43.619 T:3764 debug <general>: UpdateFromClients: Deleting empty channel group 'IPTV Channels'

but it is able to find them and re-add them  a few seconds later.

This should already be fixed for Kodi Omega. Required code changes are too big to be backported to Nexus, sorry.

[emveepee]

@matt77303 it seems you have a few choices, the simplest might be to revert to Matrix to avoid the group changes in Nexus that cause that.   Of note continuing to use zuki may be an issue as the author as already stated he was dropping support,  he hasn't even migrated to Nexus yet, so who knows if Omega will even be an option.  I will be happy to work with you on the NextPVR forum to get the Silicondust EPG going should you want to take that route.  I also have an means of importing some recordings into NextPVR.

@emveepee as a workaround you could try not to return an error from GetGroupMembers when Kodi is asking for a group not available in nextpvr.

Please let me know if there is something I need to fix here. My "zuki" addon should work fine with Nexus? I use it every day

I am indeed "quitting", but I am also still committed to ensuring the addon continues to work properly for as long as possible. Reading back through this thread, I am not sure if my addon is at fault in some way or if Kodi is? I'm happy to set up the necessary test environment and will share any/all feedback, but I am currently drawing the line on opening any Pull Requests and/or Issues myself. I will, however, do what I can to support any Pull Requests and/or Issues opened by someone else as best I can.

To repeat myself: This should already be fixed for Kodi Omega. Required code changes are too big to be backported to Nexus, sorry. So your options are to revert to Matrix or give Omega a shot.

@djp952 yes there is probably an improvement you can make.  Here you always return success  https://github.com/djp952/pvr.hdhomerund....cpp#L3259  and this call (like many) should  take into account that the HDHR might not be reachable. Otherwise the channels and channel groups will get deleted, especially on startup or on wake.
