Comskip in NEXTPVR and X-NEWA in KODI?

[NYPlayer]

Here are all the logs both a PC Client and RPI client... the one that did not work were the PI clients. Right now I record to \\Nyplayer\npvrrecq

On the RPi it trying to open it using the correct syntax

06:36:03 T:2769228864 NOTICE: smb://Nyplayer/npvrrecq/American Idol/American Idol.S14E03.Auditions No. 3.ts

but it fails.

06:36:03 T:2769228864 NOTICE: not found

so it falls back to http

The Kodi syntax is okay, perhaps you need to add Nyplayer to the RPi host file. If not play the file from Video Library and we can see what syntax it uses.

To be clearer I meant the Kodi Video Library or TV Shows not NextPVR's

This is the way Kodi accesses it. It is all caps.

Did the hosts file change help? If not, you can probably configure samba on the RPI not to be case sensitive if you don't want to use advancedsettings.xml

I would not mind using advancesettings never used it I know where to put it.maybe look at this... BTW Comskip worked using Kodi Video. I am not sure how to make changes in RPI.

<advancedsettings>

you can keep that but I'd also try this in from if it doesn't work since x-newa will have already mapped it.

<from>smb://Nyplayer/npvrrecq/</from>

Will try that the way I had it did not work. BRB

[NYPlayer]

Yes we have a Winner!!!! tried your way it works logs attached.All parts work WebClient and X-NEWA ... much appreciated thank you.

Code:

<advancedsettings>
    <pathsubstitution>

    <from>smb://Nyplayer/npvrrecq/</from>
    <to>smb://NYPLAYER/NPVRRECQ/</to>

PS You know what I find wierd is only the Recording Directory that I have to remap. The other are called correctly. See Below
