Media Browser Integration

[sub]

slap me for beeing lazy and not reading 20 pages, but can I test MediaBrowser with NPVR now ?

No, not at this stage. They've only released it with WMC support at this stage. Hopefully we'll see NextPVR support in the near future though.

The issue with the dubble recording fault still exists after upgrading to the latest version.
One recording not a problem. Schedule a second recording doesn't work...

Also some new requests.

- A method to give me a status about nextpvr. ( So we now if nextpvr is available .... and if you know why it doesn't work a message... )
- A method to check if there is a new version of nextpvr available ...
- A method that give me the tuners that are available in nextpvr.

I don't know if that is possible?

Here's xml calls for those

/public/services/InfoXML.aspx

http://www.gbpvr.com/version.xml

For the problem you'd need to post the web log, you will get a 500 if there is a conflict.

Thanks, but will they also available as JSON call's in the NEWA solution??
Where can i get the web log?

Yes i get an 500. But it shouldn't.

Reproduce this problem, and post your c:\users\public\npvr\logs\web.log and nrecord.log and we'll take a look.

So you have multiple tuners, and each has channels setup? When you setup your second tuner, did you take NextPVR's offer to create the channels for you based on the other tuner, or did you manually setup each device independently, and have each channel listed twice in NextPVR's TV Guide? If you did the latter, this can cause each tuner to have a unique set of channels, in effect meaning that some channels are only available on one tuner, and it couldn't satisfy a request to record on that device if it's already got a recording scheduled.

The 500 is how UJB defined it he gives back JSON like this showing the conflicting recording as a schdConflicts type and also the epgEvent of the record you are trying to schedule.

Code:

15:32:53 T:7144  NOTICE: {u'epgEventJSONObject': {u'rtn': {u'Message': u'Conflict in recording request found.    *** Conflict Event: Road to the Olympics\r\n', u'HTTPStatus': 500, u'Error': True}, u'schdConflicts': [{u'Blue': False, u'Priority': 0, u'RecordingFileName': u'', u'EndTime': u'2014-01-26T22:00:00Z', u'Type': u'Single', u'Red': False, u'Status': u'Pending', u'FanArt': u'', u'PlaybackDuration': 0, u'LastWatched': u'0001-01-01T00:00:00', u'Day': u'', u'FailureReason': u'', u'ChannelOid': 6871, u'MaxRecordings': u'0', u'Name': u'Road to the Olympics', u'PostPadding': u'2', u'PrePadding': u'1', u'DownloadURL': u'', u'PlaybackPosition': 0, u'Green': False, u'OID': 6681, u'Yellow': False, u'OnlyNew': False, u'StartTime': u'2014-01-26T21:00:00Z', u'Quality': u'Default'}], u'epgEvent': {u'ChannelOid': 6879, u'Genres': [u'Movie', u'Comedy'], u'Audio': u'', u'Subtitle': u'', u'UniqueId': u'MV001090510000', u'Title': u'Dr. Dolittle 2', u'FanArt': u'', u'HasSchedule': False, u'OID': 46044255, u'FirstRun': True, u'StarRating': u'**\xbd', u'OriginalAirdate': u'2001-01-01T00:00:00', u'ScheduleIsRecurring': False, u'Aspect': u'4:3', u'StartTime': u'2014-01-26T21:00:00Z', u'Rating': u'', u'EndTime': u'2014-01-26T23:00:00Z', u'Quality': u'', u'Desc': u'To save an endangered species, a veterinarian who can talk to animals (Eddie Murphy) must reintroduce a performing bear to the wild.'}}}

Did you see Martin's post about the 500 error for when there is contention/conflict? This could be a bug on my part as it is not a perfect science....determining conflicts that is. I implemented a pre-check based on info sub provided to make the determination.

As sub said... post your nrecord.log (and your web.log) after making this error happen again.

Also some new requests.

- A method to give me a status about nextpvr. ( So we now if nextpvr is available .... and if you know why it doesn't work a message... )

If NPVR is not available either is NEWA and the API.....NPVR runs the web server for NEWA and the JSON API.

- A method to check if there is a new version of nextpvr available ...

Yes... I should be able to do this.

- A method that give me the tuners that are available in nextpvr.

I should be able to do this is well.... as Martin indicated it is available in another service which is very old and xml based.
