You da man, mvallevand!
Works fine now with: <from>D:/Recorded TV/</from>
My logic was that X-NEWA is looking at NextPVR, which is on a windows machine, and would be telling Kodi to play D:\Recorded TV\Foo.ts. But I guess it must translate that since it's running on a Linux-based Kodi. In any case, it's all good...
... but you haven't gotten rid of me yet! I'll be looking for assistance in getting Live TV working shortly in another thread.
With respect to your second comment - logic is not my middle name, ha ha...
The MySQL database holds my library of TV Shows and Movies which have been ripped from DVDs and Bluray discs I own. But for day to day recordings I use SageTV (will shortly be replaced by NextPVR). I don't bother scanning them into my library because I won't keep them, I just watch them and then delete them. SageTV worked great for me but I had to either remote control it (it's on a headless server) or use the web interface to set recordings, then delete them after I watched. I prefer to be able to do that all within Kodi with a single remote control in hand, from my couch (beer in the other hand). There is a basic SageTV plugin for Kodi, but it's clunky and searching the guide to select things for future recordings was painful. The NextPVR plugin for Kodi promised a more convenient experience. But the X_NEWA plugin does me one better, allowing the recordings commercials to be skipped.
Cheers and thanks so much for your help!
Robert
