Hi.
You really should complete the TV setup for MP before trying to add Kodi- support... You were only half way through the setup process but already installed the tvserverkodi plugin. As long as TV don't work in MP it definitely can't work in Kodi...
You really should follow the step by step guide in Wiki. But as I noticed there is no extra chapter for IPTV. So I will add this chapter here...
See the following as an IPTV specific part of the "Scanning Channels" section. The rest of the setup process is the same for any tuning type.
By default one IPTV "tuner" is activated in the Setup Tool. But you should have at least 2 "tuner" activated. If you only have one virtual tuner you can not record overlapping shows (means shows that are aired one after the other) or two shows at the same time.
If your internet connection is fast enough you can add even more virtual tuner here...
At first you need the m3u playlist for your IPTV service. How this looks, how it is named and where to find depends on your IPTV provider. but it will have the file extension ".m3u". You must have it as you are already using in in Kodi (IPTV Simple addon)... This m3u list needs to be copied into "c:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MP2-Server\SlimTVCore\v3.0\TuningParameters\dvbip\" (if you don't changed the default path during MP2 installation). "c:\ProgramData\" is a hidden folder by default, so you need to make it visible before copying the playlist...
Now restart the Server and you can select your IPTV Service in the setuptv.exe tool:
My m3u is named "astra19_2_TRIAX_TV" but yours will have a different name. My TV server is named "CHEKOV" but yours most likely is named different. Open (click on the little +) TV Servers, then open your server and select the first DVB-IP virtual tuner. Then a new tab appears looking like the on in the screenshot. At "Service" you need to select your IPTV m3u playlist. Now you can "scan for channels". This will take some time depending on how much channels are in your playlist. You will be informed about the progress in the lower part of the window... When channel scan is finished you will have many channels in your list, that can be used with MediaPortal.
Now continue with the next steps described in Wiki:
Channel Mapping
Organizing TV Channels
Recording Folders and Settings
When you setup your recordings and timeshift folders you better use "UNC" path (\\Server\Folder\) instead of local drive letters (D:\Folder\) For Kodi you nevertheless need the folders accessible from network so you best prepare them this way right from the beginning.
After done with the basic configuration of the MP TV Engine you should restart the server (or the whole PC) so all changes are activated properly.
Next steps are to add EPG data to your TV setup. This is described in the Wiki here:
Or you may have a look at my tool "EPG-Buddy". A link can be found in my signature.
Now you should test, if everything is working as expected in the MP2 client. If all is as it should, you now can add Kodi support.
As the plugin already is installed you now can "create shares" in the plugin if needed:
Most of the time the shares are already "green" (means they are working), so you most likely don't need to do anything here.
Now it's time to setup the MediaPortalPVR Addon in Kodi.
The following screenshots are done in German language and with a modified "Aeon MQ8" skin, so your Kodi looks different a bit but the functionality is the same.
First install and activate the "MediaPrtal PVR Addon"
Then configure it:
The host name or IP and the SMB user/password are required. The rest is optional and can be set to your needs.
Now the "TV module has content:
Here's the EPG as it looks on my setup:
And here are the already existing schedules:
The dialog to add a timer rule from EPG
and finally the dialog to add new schedules manually
Hope you now can setup your TV too. If not, I'm out of ideas...
