I am using MediaPortal 1.2.2.0 with the XBMC TV Server plugin (v1.2.1.109) as the TV server backend, and I have XBMC (Eden PVR build) front ends running on 2 machines, one of which is the same host as the backend. Both are Windows 7 machines. My problem is that when I go to Live TV - Recordings in XBMC, I see two directories listed as follows:
:\ProgramData\Team Media Portal TV Server\recordings
:\recorded tv
but when I select either of these, I get an empty list with just the backup one directory level (.., up arrow) option available to me.
I can see recordings in the directory I specified in the MediaPortal TV Server configuration under TV Servers-Folders-Recording folder (in my case I have set this to "D:\recorded tv"). In this directory I see files of type MPEG-2 TSVideo and XML for the recordings I have made. I can also see and play these recordings in the TV/Recorded TV listing when I run MediaPortal. So this all suggests that MediaPortal configuration is good and problem seems to be in the interaction between XBMC PVR build and MediaPortal backend, as the recordings directory doesn't appear to be configurable in XBMC (and shouldn't be if I understand the architecture as this would be a backend configuration item as I see it). Any clues where I should look to fix this?
Otherwise, very happy with the setup. Keep up the good work!
