Recording not found? (empty url error while trying to play) - wbmk - 2013-10-16 Hi, I am using the MediaPortal TV server as a backend for PVR functionality and XBMC with margro excellent plugin for the TV server. When scheduling a recording on 1 of my Raspberry Pi's running raspbmc (connected to my Win7 PC with TV server), things are recorded normally and i am able to play the recording from the XBMC interface on my Pi's. However, when i schedule a recording using e.g. iPiMP, the recording is added to the TV-server schedule, and is recorded correctly. It even show's up in the 'recorded' tab on the XBMC interface on my Pi. But when i want to play the recording, XBMC gives me an error stating that the URL is empty or the file is damaged. When i try to play the recording using the Video-->Files method in XBMC, it play's just fine... Anybody got a idea if i am doing something wrong? Regards, and thanx again for the great plugin margro! -edit- Forgot to metion that recodings scheduled using iPiMP do show up in the Schedule section of TV-Server, but do not show up in the XBMC interface on my Pi's. -edit- RE: Recording not found? (empty url error while trying to play) - wbmk - 2014-01-23 No reply's so far.. I will try to explain in a little more detail. I have a server running win7, mediaportal TV-server (version 1.6) and XBMC (version 12.3). Both Mediaportal and XBMC are using a mysql database also running on this server. The server has multiple shares for video's, movies, music, tv recordings, pictures and timeshifting wich are accessible troughout the network I have 2 raspberry pi's running raspbmc. All 3 XBMC installations are using the same: -advancedsettings.xml -sources.xml -passwords.xml -version of Margro's plugin (with the same setting's) The XBMC installation wich run's on the server has no problem playing a recorded tv-show (trough the Television menu of XBMC and trough the Video's menu of XBMC) The 2 pi installation's have no problem scheduling a recording or watching live TV, but when i try to play a recording (trough the Television or Video's menu of XBMC) i get a error stating that the URL XBMC is trying to play is empty. All XBMC installations are able to play Movies. Can someone help me? what am i doing wrong? RE: Recording not found? (empty url error while trying to play) - Helvsmit - 2014-06-05 I have the same problem.. I didn't change anything as far as I know. Only change suggests upgrading to version 13.1 release candidate RE: Recording not found? (empty url error while trying to play) - Helvsmit - 2014-06-06 Just update to final version.. Same problem RE: Recording not found? (empty url error while trying to play) - margro - 2014-06-06 I'm aware that some people have problems with empty recording file names or URLs. Unfortunately I still have no clue what the problem is. Could you upload the log files from the TV Server and a debug XBMC.log file to e.g. Dropbox or pastebin (if it fits..) With debugging enabled in XBMC, do also a PVR database reset. This to make sure that the log file contains a backend recording list request. After that reset, try to play multiple recordings. RE: Recording not found? (empty url error while trying to play) - t-magnus - 2014-06-12 I just noticed my recordings are not playing either. I hope these logs help. https://db.tt/Icv3JdWY Tommy RE: Recording not found? (empty url error while trying to play) - margro - 2014-06-12 @t-magnus: Thanks for these log files. They help indeed. Based on you logs I found a problem in the addon with recordings stored on an external network share. I saw that the returned recording paths from your MediaPortal backend contain a UNC network share name instead of a local drive letter. UNC paths don't work anymore in XBMC Gotham (it did work in Frodo), so I have to translate \\server into smb://server before learning XBMC where the recording is stored. Could you try whether it is fixed using this updated version? pvr.mediaportal.tvserver-1.9.14-dev_win32.zip RE: Recording not found? (empty url error while trying to play) - t-magnus - 2014-06-13 @margro Works perfectly! Thank you! |
