Hi everyone,
A new version of serverWMC is up. First one in a month!
This version contains new xbmc features, bug fixes, and its biggest change: it supports the new MediaBrowser3-Server live-tv interface.
One of the new xbmc features (importing channel groups) will require a new pvr.wmc addon, which will be out shortly.
Thanks to Scarecrow420 for the new xbmc features and fixes.
Thanks to hoopsdavis for testing and techlife for the wiki.

Change log is on the download page, right below the server link. Server keep-awake is there, let me know if it solves your problem.

I did update the sticky with the new version. This was a big update though, so I thought more explanation might be good. Feel free to lock this thread if you want (mr moderator)

It's before my time on the project but I do know that unfortunately it never had all the kinks worked out but we don't even have the "work in progress" code and Jeff isn't around any longer.
If it worked, it would allow a way to retrieve the actual size of wtv files without waiting for the header to get updated which could either lead to being able to play wtv files directly (which means no remuxing to ts) or at least allow the remuxer to not wait as long before starting. The former would save considerable time from switches, the latter would save a bit. (if you look at your log it shows how long the remux steps take)

It really was a potential/promising angle of research and nothign more than that at this stage. If we didnt have to remux to TS then potentially it saves all of that time (this is different according to different people's setup, the channel being viewed etc). You can check your log to see how much time the remux job takes to get started, typically a few seconds. However even if it was possible to read the size of the WTV etc, it might then require enhancements to be made in XBMC code code/video player/ffmpeg etc which take time and have other considerations and have to work for a wide variety of users/setups. So I guess Im saying that even if we had the information and partial code (which we dont) it is far from any kind of guarantee, it's just a potential avenue to explore. The problem with anonymity and the internet is if someone is no longer participating in a volountary online project, you really have no way to find them without pushing boundaries to an unaccceptable extent
