So I have my #2 ODroid N2 CoreElec's setup exactly how I want now, with Comskip functioning in playback, and controlled with my Hauppauge 45 button remote. 

I went back to the first N2 (I'll call #1) I set up previously and duplicated the steps.  Everything works except the Play button is still play/pause and doesn't jump to the end of the commercial segment.  But the N2 #2 I described above DOES skip the commercial segment with the Play button (Play button does not play/pause).

I followed the instructions here for setting up the IR codes/Kodi Keys on N2 #1 just as I did on #2 using meson-ir:
https://discourse.coreelec.org/t/how-to-...control/31

My Hauppauge 45 button key map file defines this for pause (0x1e30) and play (0x1e35) buttons
0x1e30 KEY_PLAYPAUSE
0x1e35 KEY_PLAY

I copied remote.xml on the N2 #1:
cp /usr/share/kodi/system/keymaps/remote.xml /storage/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml

Then edited /storage/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml file with the following changes in the <global> section:
<play>Play</play>
<pause>PlayPause</pause>

I thought this was all I did to get the Play button to trigger the commercial skip on N2 #2, but it doesn't work on N2 #1.

Comskip does work on both #1 and #2, I tested with "999" toggle.

I didn't see any settings that seemed applicable to this in Kodi, PVR or knewc add-ons. 

Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks,

I'm havin' a bad day it seems. I've been trying to get KNEWC to connect with the V5 PC server. A pin error was suggested so I went to the web app and changed it. Then I changed it in the RPi4. No luck. So, using the web app again, I enabled the web server in Settings and now I the web app does not ask for a login and shows no information at all! 

But everything is just fine if I open http://<ip>:8867 on another machine! Pops right up and asks for the login credentials.

I attached the logs. The desktop app works perfectly as far as live TV goes so I believe the DB is OK. Will you need the config file?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I can't get RPi4 Raspbian Knewc to connect to my V5 Windows server. It used to work until I was hacked. I've restored the best I can but no luck so far.

Attached are logs. I hope you can help.

After restoring my system drive, I cannot connect to NextPVR using http://localhost:8866. I get the attached screen message.
 
I've attached the logs. I'd like to avoid a re-install but will I need to?

Thanks.

All:

I updated to the latest build (121419) after the install the server.exe will only stay running with the command prompt window open.  Anytime I close the window the server shuts down.

Any ideas?

Issue: Lack of focus on subsequent Windows NextPVR launch (new user-old problem ?). Currently using NextPVR V4_2_5_191014, Intel-DH55TC mobo, Win10Pro X64, RC6 IR MCE remote (from an old Sony VAIO PC), and a Logitech Harmony 650 IR remote. The front end is a Cetron InfiniTV4 card with M-SIM card to Frontier FiOS. First time launching NVPR via the Harmony IR remote or VAIO IR remote MCE 'Green Button' results with NPVR having focus on the Windows desktop. If NPVR is exited and re-launched, NVPR shows on the Windows desktop, but does not have focus. The remediation is to logoff the existing user session and log back on or to use an attached keyboard to give NPVR focus. Since this is an 'Appliance' PC with no normally attached keyboard, the lack of focus and need for a keyboard is a nuisance. The solution was to re-define the Logitech MyHarmony 'Watch NextPVR' activity on the Media Center PC with a trailing 'Alt-Tab' key sequence. This grants the NVPR Windows session focus when launched with the 'Green Button' and the IR remotes then function as desired. An image of the Logitech MyHarmony 'Watch NextPVR' is attached.

I'm running nextPVR ( Version 4.2.5 (191.14) ) on my backend server on a Windows 10 computer. I'm running the nextPVR addon on both Kodi Krypton (Version 2.4.13.1) and Kodi Leia (Version 3.3.15.4) so I can watch live TV. In order to make it possible to time shift greater than 20 minutes, I changed the Pause Buffer setting (slipseconds) on the back end server to 7200 seconds.

Under Kodi Krypton, I can time shift up to 2 hours when watching live TV. However under Kodi Leia, the ability to time shift disappears completely after approximately 40 minutes.
Is there a way to get the Leia nextPVR addon to respect the backend pause buffer time like Kodi Krypton does?


Thank you in advance.

Having upgraded my desktop windows PC hardware I now have a spare motherboard so have finally decided to start testing V5 (Daren't touch the  V4 server as constantly in use by her who must be obeyed).

Installed V5, copied over the V4 database and media files then setup mapped drives to point to the existing recordings on the V4 server and edited the V5 database to point to the recording files.
Started V5 server and can happily access it from both the Web and App client.

When I go to the V5 Recordings web page I see thumbnail artwork for most of the recordings however some are just a blank square.

In V4, those shows that did not create any .jpg thumbnail/fanart files during recording (in either Media/shows or the recording folder) all show a "default" common thumbnail picture in the recordings web page.

I V5 those shows just show a small blank square. Should there be a default thumbnail showing in V5?

I have comskip working during playback on my ODroid N2 (CoreElec v9.2.1 OS, Kodi v18.5) running knewc v2.7.4.  I used the info in the sticky regarding path substitution, admittedly it took me a while to figure out it was much more simple than I was making it out to be. 

The trouble I have now is that during playback it always auto-skips the commercials, even when autoskip is off (toggled with 999).  I cannot index backwards into a "commercial zone" without playback jumping to the end of that commercial segment.  It's basically impossible to view any portion of the recording comskip has deemed a commercial.

Here's my log with debug turned off.  Search for "2020" as an example of the playback issue.

I repeated this with debug on, but the log upload fails.  Perhaps there a min repeat upload interval.

Any thoughts?

Hi,

Not sure what happened, however, I started a recording from within Kodi and it finished successfully according to the Kodi message after the program was finished. When I wanted to see the recording, the list of recording inside Kodi was empty. I thought it might be related to Kodi, however, looking into the recordings list inside the web interface also showed no recordings. Checking the recording folder I did see the recording correctly saved with XML file.

I had the fore last version so decided to update to latest NextPVR, but neither this solved the issue. No configuration changes where made since the last time I did a recording successfully 2 weeks ago.

Any idea what the issue is and how to solve it?

Thanks for any assistance.
