Using R5000-HD with Network Recorder Plugin

[mvallevand]

Add to addon set the ip and it should connect. You could install Kodi on any desktop. Live TV seems more important to you then recording Kodi would be more versatile then Emby

Martin, if I'm going to test with a client, would it be feasible to just jump in and test with Emby with the NextPVR plugin rather than Kodi, since my end goal is to use the R5000 with Emby anyway?  Or are things not progressed enough with the Emby ver 5 plugin yet?

[mvallevand]

Sure testing with Emby might be better, although Emby is also a transcoding client which is a bit annoying.

The v5 plugin is basically done, just waiting for a decision from sub on one small point for the last few weeks.

Great, I will try the Emby plugin tonight after work.  Thanks.

Based on what we've learned I modified the opendct files and created a simplified set for r5000.   The main improvement is that instead of adding a delay it checks to see if the file is growing like the Windows plugin does for up to 10 seconds.  It also removes the temporary file at the end.

To simplify things just copy r5000.sh to opendct.sh and the extra will call it.  You will need to edit the r5000.py file with your ip/port and chmod both .sh files.

Eventually we can configure these for two devices, once one is working.

Thanks for the new scripts Martin.  Hopefully I will have a chance to try them tonight.  I tried last night to test with Emby and NextPVR plugin but for some reason I could not download the plugin from Emby.  When I tried to access the plugin catalog I kept just getting a spinning circle.  I will try again soon and hopefully it will work for me.

No problem although you saved yourself some trouble because the v5 plugin is not in the catalog yet it is here https://emby.media/community/index.php?/...ntry752319 I have issues releasing the plugin because Luke is not addressing bugs in the backend which should be addressed to make it work.

Never really were happy that they took the code and put it behind a a paywall, but that is a different issue I which reminds me I have to port that v5 code to jellyfin

Excellent. Thank you. I will let you know as soon as I have a chance to test.

Martin, I installed the new scripts in R5000.zip but now I'm not getting any playback. The NextPVR screen immediately shows "Receiving Data. (45450000)" but the NextCom app shows recording never starts.

The end of the nrecord.log file shows this output: Any ideas?

Did you chmod the two sh files and update both files with your unique information? If so I'd need to see more of the logs.
