Nextpvr imports not playing in Kodi

samwiliams33 · 2021-12-29, 10:33 PM

Hello,
I'm having an issue getting Nextpvr imports loaded using NextTool to play in Kodi. Imports can play in Nextpvr Web and client.

Will not play in Kodi, Import can be seen in Kodi.

Attaching Nextpvr log and Kodi log

Sorry I would need a Kodi debug log to see what is going on.

Ok I think I recognize that error can you copy the output from this it should be Cedar Rapids into a post.

Ok it is the problem I expected based on your Kodi log.

<duration_seconds>0</duration_seconds>

Based on that filename I would say the mediainfo library that comes with NextPVR is not calculating the duration for that file correctly.

Can you install MediaInfo? https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo/Download/Windows I'd be curious if the GUI shows the duration.

samwiliams33 · 2021-12-30, 02:08 AM

Ok,
Mediainfo shows duration of file see below attachment

samwiliams33 · 2021-12-30, 02:19 AM

Martin,
Also, If I load the files directly in to Kodi on machine the files can play.

mvallevand · (This post was last modified: 2021-12-30, 02:23 AM by mvallevand.)

Two things to try.

- replace the NextPVR MediaInfo.dll with the one you just installed and see if it makes a difference.
- PM me a link to that file on OneDrive or Google Drive and I can have a look here. Maybe include the NFO too.

The issue is the missing duration from the API and I need to figure out how to calculate it.
