Video Plays Under New Client UI

[cweseloh]

Attached is the relevant section of a kodi debug log file where the video plays in the background.  Any advice would be appreciated.  Thanks!

I prefer full logs and the NextPVR logs too but I definitely am curious about what is happening here

Basically the client is seeing this as a stop which will tell NextPVR to start sending screens again and knewc doesn't even think video is playing.

Is that a Pi2 and did you purchase the mpeg decoder?

Martin

[cweseloh]

Pi2. I haven't purchased the mpeg decoder.

[mvallevand]

That might explain the issue, it's taking too long for the loop so knewc thinks it is stopped. Do you have any h264 HD recordings and do they play?

Martin

[cweseloh]

I bought the Pi mpeg decoder, but that didn't fix the issue. All my TV Recordings are the same format, but I tried using the "Video" menu option in NextPVR for the first time and found that none of my videos (including some that are h264) will play (just getting a spinner icon that eventually times out).

I confirmed Video Library is working for me on Windows. I haven't used the old RPi2 for a which but I was able to find mine so I will have a look this week. Regardless buying the mpeg2 decoder is pretty much mandatory for the pvr addon client even if you don't use knewc. I am certainly not a fan of the RPi2 it is so underpowered, maybe disable the pvr addon and get a few cycles back.

I installed the current LE on my RPi2 found my old MPEG2 code, installed knewc from the repo and the OSD works as expected.

The main difference I see is the seek to end of file test

Code:

2020-06-13 08:33:48.821 T:1430233984   DEBUG: CurlFile::CReadState::Connect - Resume from position 3763805648
. you stop in here
2020-06-13 08:33:49.863 T:1430233984    INFO: CFileCache::Process - Source read didn't return any data! Hit eof(?)

and mine is almost immediate

2020-06-16 17:53:03.029 T:1520518016   DEBUG: CurlFile::CReadState::Connect - Resume from position 2463477616
2020-06-16 17:53:03.067 T:1520518016    INFO: CFileCache::Process - Source read didn't return any data! Hit eof(?)

Are you using a wired network? I assume so since the RPi2 doesn't have wifi

Maybe post a link on the cloud to a short recording that demonstrates the problem and I will try it here.
