Blank Screen when trying to use Live TV since Kodi upgrade.
#1
I've been using ServerWMC both backend and frontend flawlessly since Gotham, and today I decided to upgrade to Kodi. When I go to run my live TV like before, I get a blank screen. I can still here the sound when I use the remote buttons like arrows and stuff just like when I'm browsing my normal library, but nothing happens when I run the live TV. Can't hear any audio from TV either. Pressing down and going to Live-EPG or any other menu for that matter doesn't work. Not even my Recorded TV button to see what I have recorded already. It just seems that anything Live TV doesn't work and the blank screen comes up.

I've upgraded to the latest ServerWMC backend and I did a manual install of pvr.wmc-windows-0.3.108.zip. Still no go. Can anyone please help me out with this? I can still connect to cable tv just by going to my HDHomeRun network drive but with that I don't get any recording or EPG features. ServerWMC was working great before and I'm assuming there's something I can do because I can't find another thread with this problem.

Thanks! Smile
I love walking into Radio Shack and when the worker asks what you need, I say "I'm looking for a 1N4148 Diode." Then they have the look on their face of absolute uselessness. If it's not a cell phone, they just don't know what it is any more.

same here using server v1.0.0.20 with wmc pvr linux arm 0.3.108 on raspbmc kodi.
before the kodi update every thing worked fine.

with confluence skin i do not even see the live tv menu entry having enabled live tv in settings and the pvr addon enabled too.
with other skins like ace or amber i get a black screen when entering live tv.

connection to server seems ok since i can see that the channels could be read xbmc startup.

Due to GUI changes in Kodi Helix, the skins need to be updated to be Kodi-compatible. Some skins have been made compatible: Confluence, 1080XF, and Transparency! to name a few.
Change to a compatible skin until your usual skin has been updated.

I installed the latest version of the server and the frontend and it didn't work for me. I ran into a couple other little things too so I'm just going to wait until Kodi is out a little longer to smooth things out. I reverted to Gotham last night. I can wait. Smile Too bad though. The main reason I wanted to use Kodi is because I could swear that the HD video quality is better than Gotham and I'd like to not have to use MPC-HC w/ MadVR as an external player any more.

take care i read that since the library structure changed reverting to 13.x is not that easy.
are you sure that you have the latest server version 1175 ?

Actually I just updated it again last night back to stable 14.0. Other than these two posts -> http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=215510 and http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=215517 I am not having any other problems with it so far.
