Jellyfin v10.9

[luguber]

Hi, Jellyfin released a new stable version (v10.9.x) yesterday.
The current NextPVR plugin is not supported by the new version.

If at some point you would find time and will to update this plugin, that would be great. But no rush.

I guess Jellyfin automation doesn't automatically handle the upgrade from netcore 6 to 8. I will have a look but if there are problems it will depend on how many other API changes were made. I don't use Jellyfin and the last time I looked the PVR plugin code was stagnant. so it is not a great solution for NextPVR use going forward. It wasn't in good shape when it came over from MediaPortal and Emby had improved it a lot before remove the advanced plugin support.

As a followup Jellyfin appears to have broken both NextPVR and TVHeadend. I have a question here https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-plu.../issues/79 and if that can't be answered the plugin is dead. Basically Jellyfin developers do not control or document their API changes very well so these kind of things happens too often, they just say they don't use the plugin. The only solution would be for Jellyfin users to try the nightlies during the development life cycle and try and catch these errors earlier.

Based on the limited information available here is the first cut at an addon for 10.9.   Recordings are not available and I have asked for clarification on how the the new API.

- use new RegisterService API for Live TV. 
- updated for 10.9.1 rules
- removed status calls that were removed

In very brief testing the EPG, scheduling and Live TV seem to work as they did before users are calling to have to do the real testing.  I couldn't even get QSV to work with this release of Jellyfin which is a bit of pain.

To test unzip the attached and replace the non-working dll that will be in the jellyfin/plugins/NextPVR_8.0.0.0 folder  If you can't find it check your Jellyfin logs it will be off the "Program data path"

I made an update to the addon to also allow recording playback, but I have asked for feedback since I don't really like using global variable in .Net to resolve the issue for the changed API and hope there is a better solution. 

Install as above and if there are issues report them here.

Sorry it's not formatted better but i don't have a lot of time at the moment. I stopped the Jellyfin container, replaced the dll and restarted. This is the log after clicking on recordings

Thanks for testing but I don't read snippets and need the full zipped log that Jellyfin makes for you. That looks like trouble connecting to NextPVR.

Did you remember to run all the tasks that Jellyfin requires to load the guide recordings etc?

Martin

[oliroe]

No problem, I'll pull together a response that may help you

Apologies

Edit: It's looking good after kicking off the scheduled task, tested watching live tv and recordings.
I've attached the full logs from the container starting.

Getting a load of errors like these but not sure whether it's related/new

No apologies necessary, thanks for offering to help. I hope we can get the addon working again.

No ignore that error is Jellyfin trying to load art for every EPG item, it is a real pig. I may not load art for the EPG, it it pretty intense.

Your logs don't show the EPG finishing so we need to wait for that to see. That error snippet was Jellyfin trying to get recording before it started NextPVR, again let's wait for the scan to finish.
