xbmc (Frodo) with pvr functions (1 Viewer)

[matejdro]

With regular TSReader it says "Timed out while waiting for buffer file".
With TSReader and RTSP turned on, it says "PVR Client has no RTSP Support"

Also, is there a way to order channels in XBMC? They are in random order instead of in order set in MP TV Server.

RTSP doesn't work/not supported.

The timeout you are getting may be a slow network, increase the timout in XBMC

My settings below incl channel order.

Hi

With regular TSReader it says "Timed out while waiting for buffer file".

Same here. And if you look at the XBMC logs you see an error in path. There is a \\ before timeshift-buffer filename (D:\Timeshift\\llive2-0.ts.tsbuffer) but this has to be a single \ only.

The timeout you are getting may be a slow network, increase the timout in XBMC

No, the amount did not matter at all, as tsreader gets wrong path. Timeshift is started on TV Server but buffer file is not accessible due the error in path...

Those having problems, could it be firewall problems?

No local firewall running here (only to Internet in router) so this is definitely not the case.

Apparently, reading ts files is on XBMC side, not on TvServerXBMC as SciDoctor said.

ERROR: AddOnLog: MediaPortal PVR Client: Failed to open file 'C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\timeshiftbuffer\live6-0.ts.tsbuffer' as '\live6-0.ts.tsbuffer'

This error I get on XBMC. Of course it cannot work, because TV Server is on another PC.

I see you are both using W7 I use VISTA 32/64. MS SQL server.

I have used host name and ip address both wrk fine on clients.

Where are the logs for XBMC ? I couldn't find them, do I have to enable logging. Found them

 

[Lehmden]

Hi.
The logs are at C:\Users\"The Username you use"\Appdata\Roaming\XBMC
But this is for Win7. Did not know if there is another path in Vista, never used XBMC on Vista at all. Logs are always on in XBMC. But there is a "Debug Mode" with more details in Log. This can be activated in XBMC Settings

Hi.
Just did some further testing. Tonite TSreader is working in multiseat. Also I did not change a single item on XBMC...
BUT I've upgraded to latest MP 1.3 Beta Build from 2012-12-06. Now multiseat Live TV is working in XBMC again.

Maybe tomorrow it's broken again

 

[joxen]

disable auto ip in streming server settings in mptvserver then it is working for me .

I tried to move a post from @wouter1971 here but failed thats why I repost it:

@Holzi: We disagree on the Quality part. But that's another subject.

1) Videoplayback is still not silkysmooth and in xbmc it is.
2) Codec hell is also still an issue in MP. No codec configuration in XBMC and HD audio engine.
3) MP starting up takes ages.

Those are key elements of the user (and WAF) experience.

But let's continue here Vergleich XBMC 12 (Frodo) Beta mit MediaPortal 1.3 Beta
