I tried setting this up but it will not start. No problem with previous version.

Thanks for the post, I updated the zip in post 1 to hopefully fix this.

If you want to fix it yourself in your master settings.xml C:\Users\Edwin\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\script.xbmc.x-newa\resources\settings.xml

add this right before </category>

Code:

<setting default="0" enabled="false" id="episodeSort" label="episodeSort" type="number" visible="false" />

Thanks that fixed it will try it on my OPENELEC main HTPC and let you know how it goes there. I used the new Zip.

One Question What is the preferred method of streaming on a fast network Native Direct PVR?

[mvallevand]

For live tv if you have XBMC PVR enabled Native or PVR would be based on how it works for you. I don't bother with the overhead of XBMC PVR so it would fall back to Native

Direct is just a demo of how I stream live TV directly from an HDHR bypassing NextPVR and the disk cache altogether. It falls back to Native too.

My only real recommendation is for recordings and it would be to configure advanced settings to use shares so that a user could watch recordings in progress to conclusion and have comskip.

Thanks will look into it I had some errors when accessing upcoming recordings. I attached the logs.

[mvallevand]

Did you hit the Refresh option to get the new fields?

Martin

[NYPlayer]

That did it ... one thing I did notice is that you get an error when there are no recordings in default and I select all recordings.. I usually move my recordings at night but it is no big deal.

Also I am trying to find where to enable shares ... I will find it eventually thanks for a great program.

[mvallevand]

I saw an error 405 on all recordings that I can't explain

Code:

16:54:05 T:140245093832448  NOTICE: Posting to http://10.0.0.35:8866/public/ScheduleService/RecordingsSummary?sid=085d2c476ea14927b58d218536f6c215&sortByName=true&sortAscending=true

16:54:05 T:140245093832448  NOTICE: json getRecordingsSummary failed falling back to SOAP

When you move them do you do this using Archive?

No I use MCEBUDDY to rename them correctly and create NFO files for XBMC to a folder on the NAS. Is there a better way?
