I have configured kodi 15 with the 2.7.1-1 pvr.hts plugin. My tvheadend backend is the latest build from git (4.1-18-gec3ba93)
I am able to view all channels, whatch live television, epg, but am unable to see recordings.
My recordings are by default in a subfolder. I already tried to record directly on the root folder, this does not change the outcome.
I can play that same recording using vlc and the direct link from a remote server just fine.
I record by default with the matroska container settings.
I raised the loglevel to debug already, this didn't provide me with more usefull information.
Any advise would be welcome.
The output from kodi log is below

This is already reported on tvheadend site: Bug #2861: Play recordings in Kodi not working today

It is fixed in the latest tvheadend code.

Thanks for the information.
I updated to the latest version of github and now everything is working again.

Could you please verify for me starting a recoding from Kodi TV Guide. In my case the recording is deleted right after I started it.

hey Meindert

Everything is working fine here. The recording starts as normal. I can watch it immediatly and it keeps recording.
My current setup:
Server = Ubuntu 14.04 with latest tvheadend build from github.
Client = openelec latest unstable (6.0.0 according to website) 5.9x.x something

@ziporah

What kind of profile did you make for the client in TVHeadend server and did you provided an username/password in the tvh client plugin?

I made a profile that gives permission for all IP adresses and username/passwrd */* (what means doesn't care who is making a connection)
In my client I leave username/password blank.

I'm on debian testing both server and client with latest TVHeadend and Kodi (15 alpha1)

Seems to be fixed in TVHeadend according issue #2865
