Thanks for the reply Janbar - so is the "Recordings" video source actually generated by Kodi using the same information in the Recordings menu under TV? I guess I just assumed the video source was being generated by the Mythtv addon as it only appeared after I enabled the addon.

Although the scanner doesn't seem to work correctly, I'm assuming if the title search was for pvr://recordings/Default/NCIS/NCIS - S08, E11, TV (5 Later), 20150308_200500.pvr then the scanner would find the correct information for that episode.

[janbar]

Yes, "Recording" video source uses same information from recordings screen. Those info are filled by the addon and fields list (see previous post) is defined by the PVR interface.
Video feature has its own interface and a restricted set of fields can be imported/shared from other source. Currently "Title" is a shared field, and video scanner use it to identify the show. But it still complex to match a serie/episode because title field hasn't standard format. MythTV addon concatenate title and subtitle from the backend to generate the recording title: title + " - " + subtitle.

Hello janbar and friends,

I have a MythTV server running on my home network, on a private IP address. Connecting to it using Kodi / Openelec / pvr.mythtv works perfectly on the local LAN. However, I want to be able to connect from internet as well and have therefore set up iptables with DNAT for 6544 and 6543 on my firewall so I can enter the public IP address in my Kodi client.

It loads up EPG, channels and recordings. I can watch recordings but when I switch to Live TV it tries to connect to the private IP address on port 6543. I have not told the pvr.mythtv about this address so I guess it is picked up from the server somehow.

Is this a bug, working as intended or is there something I need to configure differently?

System: RaspberryPI 2, Openelec 5.0.6, Kodi 14.2, pvr.mythtv 1.12.10.

Edit: Adding a snippet of debug output:

Code:

awesome , it rans over public network !
About liveTV it is not a bug. On LiveTV negociation, Addon receives the IP address of selected encoder from the backend itself, so the local IP configured during myth setup. For now this functionnality could not be implemented because encoder IP is provide by the backend using protocol commands.
But probably a new version of the addon using exclusively the WEB API of the backend could run. It is in my next todo but few months of dev are needed.

I was afraid that would be the case. Thank you for the quick reply.

Why not run a VPN so that the remote machine appears on the same subnet and can access all machines on your lan.

All;

A New issue seems to have popped up in 14.2.RC1 .. My libcmyth is 1.11.3. All 3 devices on 3 different tv's are Intel Nuc's. One is running Openelec 5.0.6. The other 2 are running 5.0.5

On the system that is running 5.0.6 .... after a random amount of time watching LiveTV, the sound will stop. You can still hear the 'white noise' per-se on the speakers, so I know the audio device is still alive. You can stop livetv and sound comes back.

I'm not sure if this issue might have been introduced in 14.2-RC1, LibCmyth, or if it's an openelec issue. I'm going to post this message on Openelec's forum also.

Before upgrading to Openelec 5.0.6 it was fine. The 2 tv's that still run 5.0.5 are also still working fine.

Thanks!

Hi, if you haven't updated the addon , many reasons could cause this stopping:
- Kodi player panic , network disconnection , backend crash. About the last cause i am tracking one with the myth ticket https://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/12405 . If you have some logs from your backend you could know if it has crashed and restarted at this time.

Would like some help trying to pinpoint why I can't watch live tv with the plugin. I have the Helix version compiled from Git, against Kodi from Gentoo portage. (Kodi compiled Mar 21 2015 by GCC 4.8.3 for Linux x86 64-bit version 3.13.0 (199936)).

Mythtv is v0.28-pre-2738-g39dd1ee from git.

Recordings work fine - Live Tv just shows that Channel is unavailable. Nothing in the MythBackend logs.

Probably your mythtv setup uses IPv6 addresses but you haven't IPv6 infrastructure => remove IPv6 addresses in your mythtv setup, replacing with "::1".
Any IPv6 addresses look like "FE80:..." are not usable outside the backend host.

EDIT: I will add a note in the new github io page to help user to configure its backend. You haven't this issue using mythfront because it runs in the same host of its backend.

@rdoac, i filled the manual section "Basic settings" at http://janbar.github.io/pvr.mythtv/manual/index.html . Please let me know if it helps.

Perfect - this resolved the problem.
