Cannot edit/save timer via Kodi 16.0 RC3

[gnuru]

I installed Kodi 16 RC3 (I was using RC2) and now I cannot set or edit timers with NextPVR 3.6.6 backend.
When I try to edit/save a timer (such as change the pad or days of week of the timer),
I get an "an unexpected error occurred" dialog which tells me to look in the log.
I turn on debug logging in Kodi and restarted and tried again. I got the same error.
I can create new timers OK from the Guide by selecting to record the show.

System is Win 10, on an HP desktop with 6GB RAM, about 200GB disk space free,

Setting recordings directly in NextPVR works fine.

This was originally posted in the Kodi forums at http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=259073 and I was asked to post it on the NextPVR forums.

thanks,

I can see why this happened, and have fixed it in the attached patch.

Backup your original file before installing this patch though - I'm not 100% sure my version is still binary compatible with 3.6.6.

I stopped the service, backup up the old DLL, installed this, restarted the service, but
Kodi still cannot edit/save a timer. I get the same unexpected error occurred.

Can you post the logs now you've got that patch installed. It definitely fixed it here.

Same issue with me. I just changed to Kodi 16.0 (still with NPVR 3.6.6) and now I can't save a timer after having edited it. Creating a timer from the Kodi EPG works well (but ignores the Kodi default paddings). I can see the Timer in NextPVR. But editing the same timer in Kodi fails. The save button fails with an error, even without having changed anything in the edit dialog. Installing the patch from the previous posting (NShared.dll) had no impact at all.

Without the patch I had the following errors in the Kodi.log:
17:36:21 T:14488 NOTICE: EPG::CEpgContainer::Start - EPG thread started
17:36:44 T:7300 ERROR: PVR - PVR::CPVRClient::UpdateTimer - addon '127.0.0.1:connected' returned an error: the command failed

17:36:58 T:7300 ERROR: Unable to activate the previous window

With the patch the Kodi.log reads as follows:

Are you trying to edit a recurring recording, or a one-off recording?

[mvallevand]

I wonde if that NShared has the bug leaving stuff in EPG after a channel delete.

Code:

2016-02-22 23:16:55.365    [ERROR][279]    Unexpected error in EPGEvent.LoadByOID(): System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: Der angegebene Schlüssel war nicht im Wörterbuch angegeben.
   bei System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2.get_Item(TKey key)
   bei NUtility.EPGEvent.GetListingsForTimePeriod(DateTime startTime, DateTime endTime)

This is the same error I had.

That was the error I was getting too, but that patch should have fixed it. Thinking about it though, I only tested editing recurring recordings, which is why I asked whether they were getting it with one-off or recurring recordings.

[Retro Greaser]

I edited a one-off recording.

[sub]

Yeah, I think my fix only helped recurring recoridngs. Unfortunately I'm gonna have to fix editing one-off recordings in Kodi, which means it'll take a while to make it through the sausage machine into a release.
