Unless you send the requested Kodi debug logs, it really is a waste of both our time continuing this discussion.

Sorry, I asked about logs and this is the first time they were asked for in this thread and I didn't know which logs to send until you just told me Kodi logs.

It took a little bit for me to research how to enable debugging and get them off the firestick, but I think I have what you need.  Attached is the Kodi log file that included these steps:

1. In Kodi I went to Settings | System Settings | Logging and then enabled debug logging.
2. Started KNEWC
3. Went to Recordings and tried to play 'Growing Pains' video, failed with player error
4. Went to Videos and tried to play same 'Growing Pains' video, failed with player error
5. Exited KNEWC
6. Went to TV in Kodi and tried to play same 'Growing Pains' video with sub's add-on, success.
7. Quit out of Kodi and downloaded the log file.

So you should be able to search the log for 'Growing Pains' to find the 3 attempts to play the same file.

Thanks

Sorry my last post was not meant to sound bad I wanted to save you the effort of writing too much. and in post #15 I did ask for logs so The trouble is what I expected and I wanted to make sure my suggestion would work

KNEWC tries to find the mp4 file but it can't

2020-03-05 15:23:39.072 T:10496 DEBUG: /recordings/Growing Pains/Season 03/Growing.Pains.S03E04.Not.Necessarily.the.News.mp4

so it tries by the NextPVR http /live API and that fails too.

If you can set up a share to /recordings you can use path substituation in advancesettings.xml as explained here https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...#pid486679 and it should work

If that is too difficult I do see that NextPVR is asking me to play this via the old PCH /stream&f= API so it still might be possible without a share. I haven't done any v5 testing on that API because sub didn't add resume support for non recordings that I could use in v4 with NEWA so I figured no would use it, but I probably could code to use the recording ID on this one.

I think I set up the shares and path substitution the way you described.  I attached the new log as well as advancedsettings xml and sources xml.

This time I just tried playing that same video under recordings and then under videos with player error both times.

Not sure if the log file started fresh or just continued the old one, but I did restart the firestick before doing the new test.

BTW this was my second time testing these changes.  The first time, after trying the recordings step, it seems nextpvr crashed, although I could still putty into the server, I could not get at it with the web UI or with KNEWC.  I couldn't figure out the command line to restart the nextpvr service so I ended up rebooting ubuntu so I could complete the testing.  If you or sub are interested in seeing any log for that I'll be happy to send it, but it is nothing I am worried about having you look at.

The logs for show it found advanced settings file and the one you attached doesn't have a g. I can guarantee that hvr will resolve to a real lan IP either

Success! Sigh, after checking the contents so carefully I typo the name. They really should have a base file there to edit so we have one less thing to screw up.<g>

Thanks so much. I have a feeling that this will be much faster than my v4 system which is probably not directly accessing the files.

I'm glad especially as I see two typos in my reply that could have been confusing. Too much thumb typing on small devices.
