Hi all,
before I embarrass myself over at xbmc etc I wondered if I could ask some advice? I do realize that this may be better posted over on another forum but this being the most friendly forum I feel more at home
I am a Windows bod at total heart and practice and don't really get Linux or how to solve issues with it.
I have managed to install OpenElec r12755 from a .img onto my SD card and get that to boot xbmc on my Pi.
That build included NextPVR add-on v 1.2. by default.
After setting up everything as I think is correct the NextPVR LiveTV option is available and I can see the channels (EPG).
But when I select a channel I do not get any video display even though xbmc thinks it is playing it. (i.e. doesn't crash or anything)
I wondered if this was an mpeg issue so bought a license for MPEG2 but that has not made any difference.
As addendum I wondered if it should be possible for me to see the Pi via the Network Browser in Windows? That would make it easier to add/change/access logs etc rather than having to remove the card and put back into card reader? Have I perhaps got some settings wrong in xbmc config that are not allowing me to do this? My Router sees the device fine!
Thank you all, any advice most appreciated.
cheers
