[QUOTE="dvgeek, post: 1128327, member: 144768"] [USER=144466]@HeloDog76[/USER] - Ok, so you are getting the EPG to display in OpenElec. That means that OpenElec is talking to Argus and Argus is sending the info back to OpenElec from its database where the EPG and other details are stored. The reason the streams are not playing is because the Kodi player is not able to open the MPEG file - purely an authorization issue. Please try to play a recorded MPEG stream NOT through the TV --> RecordedTV submenu selection - but thru the Videos menu. You will have to add your backend Recordings folder as a Video folder in OpenElec. You fill find that you may have to provide your windows credentials. Once you do, and are able to play through the Videos menu, you will also be able to play from the TV --> RecorderdTV submenu. Hope I've not been too confusing, and you can get the gist of what I'm am trying to explain.. Later on, after you got all working - I'd suggest you move your timeshift partition to the same storage as your RecordedTV drive. This is because of something I read in the ARGUS TV forums. I believe the MPEG stream is first written to the TimeShift directory - whether it's LiveTV or recording a program. If it's a recording, then once the file reaches a certain size, it switches to another file and moves the previous file to the RecordedTV directory. If both of these are on the same drive - then it's far more quicker, as it's only a pointer change rather than physically moving a file from one drive to another. I envy you for getting hardwired gig through the house. I would have to make holes and pull cable through the walls to get it done - so I have to make do with wireless and wireless extenders. I still get dedicated 50 to 60GB throughput, compared to 80GB on GigE. [/QUOTE]
