Watch currently recording program?

[jcjefferies]

I think I have path substitution working!! In the XBMC log file I had an error reading advancedsettings.xml file. My problem was that I didn't have the <advancedsettings> statement at the start and end of the contents!

<advancedsettings>
<pathsubstitution>
<substitute>
<from>D:\</from>
<to>smb://192.168.0.146/d/</to>
</substitute>
</pathsubstitution>
</advancedsettings>

It does seem to be working as I can watch in progress recordings on the box with the new settings but not on the one with the default settings. From the XBMC log file the change is not 100% clear as there are still several references to the http source of the playback file but it also lists the smb: source as well.

Web client is completely http you will see lots of http log items and I turn it back to filename NextPVR know The substitution is hidden. The important log is what shows after I've passed it to XBMC ie "CPlayerCoreFactory::GetPlayers" and "DVDPlayer: Opening:"

There's no real fix for NextPVR. Backends that don't use http streaming won't be impacted.

Just to be sure that I understand you correct Martin: the "not showing of recordings-in-progress until kodi restarts", is this not going to be fixed for NextPVR as a backend for Kodi or were you talking about the playback of currently recorded programs?

I'm not sure what you are quoting but the recording list is not dynamic in Kodi in sub's client if that is what you mean. It is in web client though within about 10 seconds.

Yes, that's what I mean. If I understand correct TVheadend, Argus and Mediaportal seem to have fixed this. Can Sub fix this too or is that not possible (technically) with NextPVR?

Fortunately yes, my wife and kids use x-newa mostly and are very happy with that.

Excuse me for asking again, but is this (the recording list not being dynamic) something Sub can fix? Should I ask him?

The client and server can do a lot especially if the dev works on the Kodi code to support it. Sub has a lot on his plate and basically provides as much data as the API provides and he even has trouble with the source code owners getting that build. There is nothing stopping other Kodi devs for implementing more dynamic updates with no work from sub for all backends it already seems to be pulling from the server a lot.

Do you know if the ServerWMC addon is doing it? I looked through it's code to see how they're doing it (since they seem to have the best supported addon), and can't see any obvious signs of it.

That's a bit too complicated for me to fully understand. But I think you're saying, and that's what I've been reading on the fora too, is that Kodi seems to leave this (the recording list not being dynamic) and perhaps other problems to be solved by the backend programmers instead of making a general solution for all backends.
(I reported a small bug in the pvr section of Kodi and I am very curious to see when this gets solved...)

It seems that TVheadend, Argus and Mediaportal seem to have fixed this (that's what I meant in post #38). I understand that Sub has a lot on his plate and obviously he makes his own priority list, but I just wanted to know if it's possible to fix this in NextPVR.

Sub you need to implement your timer system and then issue a trigger http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid1293313
