Updated Kodi addon + plus patch

[sub]

I've attached an updated version of the addon for use with the latest Windows version of Kodi Helix, and an updated NShared.dll to support the new functionality. I've specifically been testing with Kodi 14.0-BETA1 (November 3rd).

I'd appreciate any feedback on this functionality before I submit for inclusion in the Kodi.

Changes:

- supports ATSC style major.minor numbers in Kodi
- supports recording artwork
- supports fanart (fullscreen backgrounds)
- fixes a problem playback of radio stations when bitrate was too lower for the buffering

Very good channel change speed and no more "tuner not available" errors.
Very slow dvb radio channel zapping speed (7-10 secs).
It is waiting for the buffer to be filled expecting also video stream.
mediaportal has solved this problem with latest Helix builds, but don't know how.
Tried also with Android and it does a very good job (always slow radioproblems).
If you want me to test something (Win, Linux, android), tell me
Thank you,
sdf

These updated files resolved "tuner not available" in XBMC 13.2 for me.

What's different? Maybe the Mediabrowser TV plugin needs the same thing?

I have been using Mediabrowser with a Roku but live TV from NextPVR backend stopped working a couple weeks ago so I was checking out XBMC. ServerMCE works with both but I like the flexibility with NextPVR to adjust all my EPG info.

I am really surprised that dll work in Gotham. It calls structures that don't exist.

BTW I just checked live tv in MB4 and although I hadn't tried for six months it still works here so the backend is fine.

Can you upload the source code too, I'd like to see the new URL calls.

Thanks,

I just rechecked dvb radio here, and it's preforming pretty well for me. It does take 7 to start the first radio channel (of which about 4 seconds is hooking up and starting the device), and subsequent radio channel changes take a consistent 3 seconds.

I'm using 14.0-BETA1 (November 3rd).

I should have been more clear. I've updated the text on the first post to explicitly mention Helix 14.0 beta 1

When I try to Install the Addon I get a message that addon has incorrect structure. Using latest kodi Beta.

I'm not aware of Media Browser needing any changes. Nothing they use should have changed. Admittedly, I've never used MB though, and it's addon was developed by the Media Browser guys, so I don't know much about it.

Can you try it again, and post the nrecord.log/web.log? I'll at least check if there is anything obvious going wrong on the NextPVR side of things. Otherwise I'd suggest posting the question on the MB forum, and I'll keep an eye on the post, and chip in comments to help the MB guys find and fix the problem.
