Search (EPG) doesn't work

[baj1]

Just switched my server over to v5 on Linux and am still working through some setup items.  My wife pointed out the "Search" (EPG) doesn't work.  Running Kodi with knewc as a UI on the server and when I select "Search" from the menu it makes the UI selection noise, but the screen doesn't change.  I also can't back out or do anything in knewc.  I have to close knewc and restart the addon.

I went and tried it on my ODroid N2 CoreELEC with knewc in another room.  On that client selecting the Search menu item results in a black screen that I couldn't get out of until I hit enough remote buttons, I think it may have been the menu button that brought me back to Kodi.

Logs attached.  I started messing around with it about 22:05 on the server-kodi and around 22:20 (or 22:22?) on the client-kodi.  Based on what I see in the logs, the server-kodi seemed to be doing something called "slideout" instead of search, but client-kodi seemed to be requesting a "search".

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

I just checked on Windows machine, where I could run NextPVR.exe natively. It seems to work there, so must be something related to the remote UI stuff.

Assuming it trying with nlite it seemed to work ok too.

Just to confirm - are you not even getting to the screen?

No, not getting to the "Search" screen like v4.25 worked, with the vertical alpha search selector. On the server-kodi the screen doesn't really change, main menu screen continues to show with "Search" highlighted. I can push more buttons on the remote and get the UI sounds like it's doing something, but my display doesn't changed. On the ODroid client the screen goes completely black when I select "Search".

Martin might need to have check there, to see what's happening. It seems to work in nlite, which uses the same api interface as knewc

This is a linux issue more than a knewc issue so I guess that this forum is ok, but in general I prefer knewc issues in the x-newa sub forum so that the appropriate users see the answer. It is related to the wrong case of the file being used in the skin. This should be a workaround for deb install users until sub updates this.

Code:

sudo ln -s /opt/nextpvr/system/data/skin/Default/Search/search.xml /opt/nextpvr/system/data/skin/Default/Search/Search.xml

I had to restart the server to clear the error. Windows server users won't be impacted.

Awesome!  You guys are the best!

For other users, Martin's fingers are too fast and got the dash in front of the symlink command instead of the 's' option.

Code:

sudo ln -s /opt/nextpvr/system/data/skin/Default/Search/search.xml /opt/nextpvr/system/data/skin/Default/Search/Search.xml

Oops I guess I should test first. Fixed just in case.

Good spotting. Fixed for the next build.
