ts.map Files & File naming glitch in Kodi

[Lao Pan]

We are now using v5 full time on Windows 8.1 - deleted v4  for the New Year and have been noticing a few oddities.

After deleting programs there are ts.map files left behind - causing the folders to remain - there were also about 60 of them in the live TV folder. Should this be added to the delete list in config.xml, or should they not be there in the first place?

Using UK Freeview for OTA program guide, it now appears to be picking up the Season / Episode numbers on some of the series.
In Kodi it is placing them in the correct named folder, but the actual program name is being changed to for example: S01E02-S01E02, with none of the original program name - which can be a bit confusing.

Also occasionally the NPVR service is getting stuck - upsetting Kodi and the tray icon turning grey. Windows still says the service is running, but it requires a service stop followed by a start to get things moving again. Shortcuts for that (as per v4) would be useful.

For the Kodi display issue, look at the Kodi option to use Kodi style recordings which disables a NextPVR hack.

So this was streaming to Kodi when you noticed the files being left behind? If you simply start tv, watch for a minute, then stop, is a .map file left behind?

I can't duplicate this on my linux base probably because you can delete open files but it is frequent on windows, just not everytime.

The logs aren't indicative of what happened this time since the ts file was actually removed and only the map file was leftover.

Yes this is streaming to Kodi - on the same machine - clean logs attached - at 06:37:15 tries to delete map file, but it is still in use,
I've tried watching from the web app but the transcoder always exits - probably not enough cpu horsepower. Don't have the client set up - removed codecs etc. when uninstalled NPVR v4
