Random channels no longer load in Kodi, only buffer - HeadLearning - 2015-01-07 Certain seemingly random channels when selected in Kodi do not load. A progress bar is shown with buffering. I have reverted back to Gotham and the issue goes away. I have tested a nightly to see if this has been already fixed but the problem persists. I have done a completely fresh install of Windows 7, the latest NextPVR and all of the most recent patches. I have also verified that my other devices such as Plex and the Hauppauge live tv viewer can access the channels just fine. This is almost certainly an issue with Kodi and not with any other parts of the backend. I have tried changing localhost to the IP of the machine with no success. I have completely disabled all of my firewalls and the problem exists. I have no recordings so the code below is a red flag. I am losing my mind over this! Here is a log for a working channel: Code: 02:28:30 T:2112 DEBUG: AddOnLog: NextPVR PVR Client: OpenLiveStream()@2 Here is a log for a non working channel: Code: 02:28:39 T:2112 DEBUG: AddOnLog: NextPVR PVR Client: OpenLiveStream()@2 RE: Random channels no longer load in Kodi, only buffer - amullins65 - 2015-01-10 I think the problem might be the new sub-number format on npvr. If you look at the channel list on npvr it will have numbers like 6.1. Xbmc won't recognize it. If you go to channel detail for each channel and re number them numerically with no (.) Restart xbmc and the channels that had (.) Should load now.

RE: Random channels no longer load in Kodi, only buffer - HeadLearning - 2015-01-11 Thanks for the replies. I read somewhere else about this issue and I can confirm that all of my channels in NPVR are "13.0" "27.0" etc. I have also updated to the most recent version of NPVR and applied the patch to fix this sub channel issue. I'm at a loss with this. The problem persists across Windows, Android, OS X and Linux. Helix only is impacted.

Wait, do you mean there's an update for the XBMC NextPVR addon? Could you post a link for me to test? This is news to me!

Still not working for me. RE: Random channels no longer load in Kodi, only buffer - mgbowe1 - 2015-07-29 Hello, I am experiencing the same symptoms described here. The channels that do not load seem to be fairly random and change if I restart kodi. If I play the channel directly in nextpvr (or the HDHomerun View application/VLC) it works flawlessly so I can only assume it is a bug in kodi/the NextPVR add-on for kodi) PS - this setup is only about two weeks old and I have been experiencing this problem since the third day it was working. RE: Random channels no longer load in Kodi, only buffer - Sir Roger - 2015-08-05 I am experiencing the same symptoms as above: that is apparent failure of some channels to display in Kodi. I have discovered that it is not random all the channels that will not display are on the same 'Mux'. I receive my Freeview from Waltham transmitter and any channels on Mux com 4 will not work on NextPVR client on Kodi but work perfectly in NextPVR backend. I have had a look at the log and I see such errors as these: 08:49:21 T:1080 ERROR: AddOnLog: NextPVR PVR Client: Socket::read EAGAIN 08:49:21 T:4952 DEBUG: Thread FileCache 4952 terminating 08:49:21 T:1080 ERROR: AddOnLog: NextPVR PVR Client: Socket::read EAGAIN 08:49:24 T:5704 ERROR: Previous line repeats 59 times. 08:49:24 T:1080 ERROR: AddOnLog: NextPVR PVR Client: Socket::read EAGAIN 08:49:27 T:1080 ERROR: Previous line repeats 47 times. 08:49:27 T:1080 INFO: ffmpeg[438]: Input #0, mpegts, from 'pvr://channels/tv/All channels/pvr.nextpvr_7347.pvr': 08:49:27 T:1080 INFO: ffmpeg[438]: Duration: N/A, bitrate: N/A 08:49:27 T:1080 ERROR: CSelectionStreams::Get - failed to get stream If anybody can help me resolve these issues I would be very much obliged because I would not like to have to ditch NextPVR. RE: Random channels no longer load in Kodi, only buffer - Redwingsfansfc - 2015-08-05 1. You need to post your logs correctly, and as per forum rules, 2. For me sub channels aren't working in v15. Try and turn off backend channel numbering. But I wouldn't know what version you are on because you didn't post it. RE: Random channels no longer load in Kodi, only buffer - nmw01223 - 2015-08-08 I am completely new to this having just installed Kodi 15.0, NextPVR addon 1.10.8, NextPVR 3.4.8 using an August DVB-T210 USB receiver on W7/64 SPI. Uk Sandy Heath transmitter. I am getting similar problems. I am finding certain channels won't play in Kodi but will in NextPVR - Drama being one. Not sure what is meant about x.y channel numbers, Drama appears to be channel 20. I have cleared and reloaded the channels several times, also the EPG data, turned on and off backend numbering etc. Disabled and re-enabled NextPVR addon. There are other channels that don't work, that is just one example. Nothing I do will make it work, It sits there loading, then saying buffering 0%. Displays just fine in NextPVR though. Help appreciated, or alternatively, suggestion of a different backend that might be more compatible? RE: Random channels no longer load in Kodi, only buffer - rawk1971 - 2015-10-21 I'm having this same issue. Random channels just won't play. One day channel A won't play and B will, the next day B won't play and A will. I'm unable to find a pattern, but I can say with certainly that it's Kodi causing the issue, as the channels behave correctly when viewing directly on the HDHR and in NextPVR. I have tested this with a NextPVR and Kodi on separate machines, as well as both on the same box with no difference. I honestly don't see how this isn't an issue for everyone with a. Kodi/NextPVR/HDHR set up, as no matter how many different configurations I try, I still have the issue. This is a really disappointing issue, because I'm loving the set up overall, but obviously if I can't rely on channels working, then the solution is not viable. I see that this thread was started in January and has been stale since August. Is this issue acknowledged as a bug by the Kodi team? Is there any one with a working Kodi/NextPVR/HDHR who can help us figure out what's happening here? Thanks! RE: Random channels no longer load in Kodi, only buffer - sub3 - 2015-10-21 You'll need to post the logs showing the problem occurring. We'd need a kodi log, with debug logging enabled, and a zip of the NextPVR logs directory (c:\users\public\npvr\logs) RE: Random channels no longer load in Kodi, only buffer - rawk1971 - 2015-10-22 Thanks sub3. Here's the Kodi log: http://xbmclogs.com/pxh22g0bj Here's the NPVR logs: http://www.socketinteractive.com/npvrlogs.zip I switched around to different channels. Here are the ones that didn't load during this session: 103 KWPX 106 KONG 107 KIRO Client system: Windows 8.1 with all the latest updates Intel i3 machine with 4gigs RAM Hard wired via gigabit network Kodo 15.1 (just saw that 15.2 is out, will update to that and test more) Server system: Windows Server 2008 R2 with all the latest updates Intel i7 with 16gigs RAM Hard wired via gigabit network NextPVR 3.5.7 Please let me know if there's anything else you need me to provide. I looked through the logs and couldn't see anything different between the channels that loaded and the channels that didn't, but I'm far from an expert on this subject. I appreciate any help folks in the know could provide on this issue. Thanks! RE: Random channels no longer load in Kodi, only buffer - MicroMike - 2015-11-15 Aloha, I am a newbie Kodi user and I had been getting similar results, this is my setup Server System Windows 10 Pro, Intel i5, GT 730, 16gb ram, 500gb ssd, wired gigabit MySQL 5.7 for the client shared database NextPVR 3.5.7 2x HDHomeRun Prime w/cable cards (6 tuners) to Comcast (in California - Bay Area) MyMovies.dk also loads MS SQL Server 2014 PlayOn uPNP server 4x Client Systems Windows 10 Pro, Intel NUC or Zotac ZBox Nano's, 4gb ram, 80gb hd, wired gigabit Kodi 15.2 (with the advancedsettings.xml pointing to the above server) I mentioned that I HAD been getting this buffering 0% nonsense for 2 weeks since I switched from Windows Media Center to Kodi / NextPVR LOTS of messing around with settings, different decoders, codec packs, etc - finally found a combo that works for me uninstalled all codec packs downloaded ffdshow 1.3.4531 and did a standard install downloaded madVR v0.89.16 and followed the installation text set NextPVR video renderer to madVR set NextPVR video and audio decoders to ffdshow restarted NextPVR and it works with 100 HD channels, 17 SD channels, but no DRM support (future?) I did change the Timeout When Starting Playback from 10 to 15 seconds I also put a 1000ms delay on the channel change, not sure if this helps but it slows down my mother-in-law no other settings changed in Kodi, no other repositories loaded, confluence skin, very vanilla installs I honestly feel that the madVR was the key ingredient here, but I could be wrong, been there before...
