Full Version: TvServer tunes the channel, but Kodi does not play it
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I am currently running MP 1.16, where the TVServer is installed on a W10 PC.

I have installed:
- the latest MP PVR plugin on the TVServer
- allowed the plugin to create the shares for recordings and TSBuffer
- installed Kodie 17 (on another W10 PC - TvServer and Kodie are not on the same PC's)
- installed the PVR MP plugin in Kodie

What works:
- I get TVChannels and Guide data inside Kodi

What does not work:
When I try to tune a channel then the spinning blue "busy" icon appears and then goes away.
Inside of the TvServers manual control section I see that the Kodi plugin tuned the channel, but there is no playback on the client.

I also tried the RTSP streaming option but then the spinning blue "busy" icon will never go away and I have to close Kodi with ALT+F4
tried it again yesterday, no joy. Undecided

The plugin doesn't create the shares. These have to be shared in Windows.

Actually the plugin has a "create share" button and it does also create the shares. Smile

HOWEVER it failed to set ANY permissions on the shares which meant that they could not be accessed! So thanks for making me look into the share details!
I will need to test this once I get back from work. Smile

If this turns out to be the cause of my problem, then it would be wise to to have the Kodi plugin tell the user that it can't access the share. Wink
Still not working. I can access both shares on the PC, the tsbuffer file is created and I can play it on the PC as well. But inside Kodi I get this
