Will look into it more later, rolling back to 1055 makes everything work again, and going forward stops again.

Will post logs once I've got them.

weird. not being able to start live tv and recorded tv is almost always a remote client problem and the network path not being set up correctly. Check credentials if this is a non-windows client. If you already had credentials setup xbmc, then turn off credentials in the new server version.

I am pasting the whole thing because the first line has info about the server running, but the issue arose 10/12/2013 at 9:34am, so you can skip down to that part to look for the issue.

More issues with my audio streams starting in SAP vs ENG. HTPC running server 1077. Watching live TV on my thinkpad running client 1012.

Started watching channel 3.1 (CBS), everything good. I can see two audio channels, both ENG. Switch to channel 6.1 (ABC), plays with no sound, I can see two audio channels, SAP and ENG, SAP listed first. I suspect no sound because it wasn't actually available, I think with the show does actually support SAP, it plays in SAP.

I hit "L" to get the sound/subtitle menu and see that the Castilian audio is selected. Manually switch the audio to ENG and it plays in ENG.

Change to 10.1 (NBC), see both audio streams, ENG listed first, it plays in ENG. Switch back to 6.1 (ABC) and it plays in ENG.

Then the HTPC fell asleep (I haven't configured Advanced WOL to keep it awake while watching on remote clients yet), which is why the log abruptly stops.

Please let me know if you need any additional details.

Thanks for all the great work.

When you are watching one of these stations where the wrong audio is selected, while it is playing, copy the wtv file for me (or temporarily switch off 'delete temp files'). Place it here:
C:\Users\Victor\Google Drive\wtv clips
and let me know its there.

I would like to get these audio problems nailed down (especially since I thought I already had). I could just make it so that there is an option in the server to only grab English or the like, but I would really not like to have to do that. I will look at your log, but I will probably need a file too.

Another interesting thing is that the server went to sleep while playing a stream. I thouight this couldn't happen, because windows detects if a file is open by a remote client and won't go to sleep - this is the way it works for me anyway. I know how to stop windows from sleeping from code and I thought about making it so that if a stream is open the server is locked out of sleep. I wonder if this is because its a non-windows client? Didn't think that would make a difference. Anyone else experiencing this sleep problem?

XBMC Log for a failure...

(2013-10-13, 02:44)spaceboy Wrote: ok, we are making progress, i have live tv on the pi!! i just made the change dilligaf suggested and that all works well. so thank you very much for that

recorded tv is still not working. when the pi calls for a wtv through serverwmc then what is the process? because i see nothing in the xbmctemp folder and no sign of the client calling it in the serverwmc log. it seems from the raspbmc log that its trying to access the wtv file directly but i thought xbmc coul not do that. visually on the pi it looks like play back is about to start, the screen goes black and the timer pops up but never starts counting

one thing i have noticed and i think i mentioned earlier is that the live tv streams aren't getting deleted. i see this in the log:

2013/10/13 01:26:09.455 StreamProc::Close> error close stream: System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file 'D:\Recorded TV\TempXBMC\LiveTV_192.168.1.17_DVB-T_104_2013_10_13_01_24_42.wtv' because it is being used by another process.

2013/10/13 01:26:09.456 CloseLiveStream> -----------------done-------------------------

i think this may be because i have comskip monitoring my wmc recorded tv folder, possibly watching recursive directories. could that be causing this?

The issue is that if I tune to one channel from an XBMC client and then tune to *the same channel* on another client, it says all tuners are busy. (my backend only has one tuner)

I poked around a little and as far as I can see, (please correct me if I'm wrong) the server works by taking the .wtv stream from WMC and remuxing it into a .ts stream. Each stream contains the name of the client device.

Would it be possible to point the client to an existing stream that doesn't contain it's name if it is trying to tune a channel that is already being tuned? Would it be easier to clone the stream and rename it? Would that break something else?

Thank you, for all your hard work!

Still trying to get a video file for you of the audio stream issue. Thought I had it, but the file I copied was only the last few seconds and did not capture it, so now I've turned off delete temp files as you suggest. Since then, I can't replicate. Doh! I do also have a raspberry pi on the network, I might completely disconnect it in case it is interfering in any way.

Will keep on trying. Thanks again for all the work!

That's the server side log, is there something client side I can get for you?

Your timing couldn't be better as I am working on this now, it will be in the next release.

You are right on all counts btw. I am redoing live and active streams to be keyed by channel rather than client (actually scarecrow's idea). This will make multiple clients viewing a single channel come naturally. Its already working I just need to test some more.

Yes, pretty trivial actually. My only beef is that if you had thought of this a week ago, it would have made my code simpler and cleaner. But hey, I'm not complaining - just thinking out loud . Thanks again.
