I've been battling with getting playback of recorded tv to skip commercials using X-NEWA.
Headless PC running Windows 7 with NextPVR installed. Records locally to D:\Recorded TV\ and this is a share (smb://192.168.168.128/Recorded TV/). Comskip is kicked off by NextPVR as per standard practice and is creating the .edl file correctly. Yes, comskip.ini has edl_skip_field=3 set.
LibreELEC 7.0.2 (KODI Jarvis) is running on other systems in the house with the X-NEWA plugin. All functions seem to work fine (well, live TV is a problem at the moment but that's another thread if I can't debug it...). The problem is that playback of a recording in X-NEWA is not commercial skipping. If I play it in KODI just by selecting the recorded file directly from the folder (I've added the folder as a source), it plays and skips the commercials just fine.
So... research here tells me to use folder substitution in KODI's advancedsettings.xml - No Problem:
<from>D:/Recorded TV/</from>
<to>smb://192.168.168.128/Recorded TV/</to>
(Yes, the other required lines are there, just showing the two pertinent lines)
Here's my question (finally):
The <from> is from who's perspective? How would KODI know anything about a D: drive which is on a totally different system. KODI has no issue understanding the <to> so it's happy to use the smb... but in place of what, since KODI knows nothing about the D: path. In any case it does't work for me... do you see anything wrong with these two lines?
Cheers,
RLW
