I have test installations of Kodi running V17.6 & V18 Alpha 2, both running against the same library & VBox Product Number 3442 running Software Version XTI_VJ.2.59. These Kodi versions also share the same Kodi profile.

I can play recordings on V17.6 but not on V18 Alpha 2.

The kodi log entries for V17.6 are:

The call to the recording file is completely different under V18 & appears to be pointing to the wrong location.

Yes same here, it would be nice to have this fixed.

Please file an issue here: https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.vbox/issues

EDIT: which add-on version are you using? As far as I can see the official pvr.vbox add-on does not support recordings (and never did).

EDIT2: nvm, it does. ;-)

[ksooo]

I already found the problem. Will try to come up with a fix soon.

[mattmarsden]

Much appreciated, thank you.

[ksooo]

Should be fixed with https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.vbox/pull/210

[mattmarsden]

You're a star - is there anywhere I can download the updated version now or do I have to wait for it to get changed?

If you cannot build the updated add-on yourself, you will have to wait until the fix PR got merged. Then, the fix will be included automatically in the next Kodi nightly build.

Ksooo,

Thanks for the prompt reply & the fix. I'll pick it up in the nightly shortly. It's not a priority for me at the moment 'cos it's not my production system. Just wanted to get the problem raised.

Merged, fix should make it into next Leia nightly build.

[mattmarsden]

Works perfectly now thanks.
