knew4v5 2.6.3 Testing

[BrettB]

I started doing testing against my production server running NPVR 4.2.4.190307. And it's not automatically skipping the commercials. Looking at the kodi.log, the substitution to get the media via file share rather than http is now failing (presumably because of the new encoding):

I'm going to try playing around with various substitutions to see if I can get it match and use the share.

I'm going to try playing around with various substitutions to see if I can get it match and use the share.

I tried a few variations of entries in path substitution, but no luck getting any to work. I'm attaching a full kodi.log file.

[mvallevand]

The URL encoded name looks like it might be trouble.

E%3A%5CNPVR%20Recordings2%5CThe%20Cool%20Kids%5CThe%20Cool%20Kids.S01E17.Margaret%20Ups%20Her%20Game.ts

I probably have to figure out how to get from UTF-8 to Unicode for python3

I think In have this fixed but in testing I cannot get the resume to work. I went back to x-newa and I see the same thing. Scratch that it is my EDL a 0 second commercial is overriding the resume point, way to waste an hour. I will do a bit more testing and get the fix out.

D'oh! I hate it when that happens!!!

[mvallevand]

Yes I use zero padding so normally this isn't a problem but of course my server slipped enough seconds for this to happen. Comskip is amazing though.

2.6.4 is online now hopefully that caught it.

So is 2.6.4 supposed to match the old path substitution rules? I'm still seeing:

And it's not auto skipping.

Could you remove the comment from line 740 of emulate.py

self.nextUrl = unquote(self.nextUrl)

to see if that fixes it (exit and restart knew4v5)

That did it! Yea!

Also, it seems to take a bit longer for knew4v5 to load. (Like 5 seconds before the "working" "spinning circle things" are displayed and then another 2 or seconds.) I don't know if you can do something to get the "working" indicator to come on sooner, but if you can that would be helpful to know that it did get the launch command and is working.

[mvallevand]

Thanks for testing that, I probably won't be putting a release just for that until I hear back from sub on setting the resume position in v5.

Your last of logs don't show any kind of real delay 1.5 seconds to get the first http call when I drop the spinner followed by the long standing NextPVR loading issue (probably a pipe error in web.log) for a few seconds of black screen. In v18 the made a change and a plugin can't keep the spinner on during other

In the current implementation for v5 there is another network timeout so that delay will be much longer. I kept it that way to make it easier to go between v4 and v5. I will be tweaking that in the days ahead when the python3 code is stable with v4.
