Radio vs TV in Kodi add-on

[philled]

Can you supply your npvr.db3? I'll need to look at the service type listed for your channels.

Thanks. I've attached it here.

OK trying to attach again, with a ZIP file this time.

Ignore my request fro a conf file you probably didn't scan it.

Our posts crossed. I thought you used a DVB-T device not HDHR. Different logic.

Basically your channels are listed with service type 1 (MPEG2 video service) or 25 (H264 video service), so they're not being treated as radio in channel list passed to Kodi.

Do your radio stations have a video stream? Some do (like a logo or something), and this might be enough to make NextPVR assume it's a video service at scan time.

Either way, you might need to try scanning, then post the logs so I can see what it found at scan time.

Ah, good point - I was assuming a DVB-T tuner too. The situation is different with HDHR.

Here you go. Examples of radio stations are "triple j", "triple j Uneart", "SBS Radio 1", SBS Radio 2".

Yes they all have video codecs. Are you running current firmware, look like a Silicon Dust bug.

Until there is a UI what I would do is create a group called "Radio" and select the channels that are radio to put in it

After that backup your database and run

Code:

sudo sqlite3 /var/opt/nextpvr/npvr.db3

update channel_mapping
set service_type = 2
where channel_oid in
(select channel_oid from channel_group_name, channel_group
where name = "Radio" and group_oid = oid);

I can confirm that worked and I can now see the radio stations under Radio in Kodi. 

Thanks so much to everyone for your help. Have a great Christmas.
