Unfortunately I don't think XBMC passes this info to the addons, so I can't pass it to NextPVR.

Actually from the web streamer you do get the current offset into the file, you have the recording oid so you you have the filename and from timing.info you have the minutes so you have every you need.

Yes, I use my imageGrabLite that does two things, in parallel processing it creates the appropriate NFO file and if it has proper season/episode xbmc will pick that up for playing in progess, and it post processing it renames them with S#E# info or names the movie with the year and creates a good moviename.nfo

Nice I'll check that out. How does it handle series/episodes that are not on theTVDB?

xbmc will use the nfo file that has the NextPVR subtitle and description and I give it a episode number so they are in sequential order.

Awesome. I'm gonna give that a whirl this weekend. Thanks!

If you record movies, it would be best to record them to a separate recording library, since TV scans and movie scans are different. Also if you are considering multiple client you should spend some time considering how you are going to name the libraries if you do ever want to move to a common MySQL setup. From a share smb://ip/name is best across linux and windows clients and you can avoid path substitution this way.

I don't ever record movies, so that shouldn't be an issue. I'm already using a MySQL setup. My plan is to add the recording directory as a SMB source. Then if your tool does what I hope, the recordings ought to blend right in to my current TV Shows.

I remember something else I had to do with nfo files, XBMC didn't like NextPVR's naming so I came up with this faked run in advancedsettings.xml. to make sure they got scanned so that the nfo files are read.

Code:

<tvshowmatching action="prepend">
      <regexp>[\\/\._ -](20[0-9]{6})_.+\.ts</regexp>  <!-- Match NextPVR date as a season -->
    </tvshowmatching>
