Hi guys, I have been using ServerWMC backend with Fire TV's in my house with Gotham 13.2 and the pvr.wmc client. Just got my Nexus Players in the mail today and was gutted to see there is not currently an Android x86 version of pvr.wmc. Is this in the works or is it something that I can build for myself, or am I just SOL?

Thanks!

Pvr.wmc should be bundled with gotham 13.2, is there an XBMC release for your platform?

Yes there is. I stand corrected as when enabling the add on it does state that its for i486. However it seems that the add on fails to load. No matter what I do, after enabling and configuring it, if I try and pull up a channel list or EPG from the live tv menu on the xbmc home screen it tells me that no PVR clients have been loaded (or something to that effect). I tried gotham 13.2 and also 14 beta. I know I'm configuring everything correctly since I have this working on 2 firetv's so there seems to be an issue with the i486 build when used on the nplayer.

just an update - I just tried with the x86 latest nightly as still no go there either. After I enable the add on and confirm it is enabled and configured properly if I go to enable Live TV sometimes it will tell me that I am enabling live tv without enabling a PVR add on first. I managed to get past that, but when clearing the EPG database in the LiveTV settings it quickly goes to 100% and then tells me that there is not PVR client enabled. When clearing the EPG database on Gotham the progress bar comes up and stays at -10% and XBMC seems to hang. I have to force close it. I hope this is helpful information. Thanks!!

Can you post an XBMC debug log?

Here is one I took last night...

I got it working! Pretty embarrassing actually - the problem is that I was specifying the wrong port for serverwmc. I totally forgot I had to change it since 9080 is used by my Ubiquiti wifi controller software for my WAP's. I didn't realize what was going on since there were no messages saying it couldn't connect to serverwmc. Finally figured it out when I tried setting up mediabrowser 3 and it told me that serverwmc was inaccessible on 9080.

Geez, yet another app that defaults to the same port we use for pvr.wmc. CouchPotato is another culprit Smile

Unfortunately it's a bit difficult to change our default now since so many people are already using ServerWMC/pvr.wmc/MB3

In your client log, you can see it was failing to connect so yeah we would have eventually been able to tell you to check the connection settings, but you figured it out yourself already Smile

That sucks. I guess there is no way for you guys to surface an error when it fails to connect? I'm sure if there was you would have done it by now. Thanks for the awesome add on! I'd be stuck out paying 30/month to Comcast for cable boxes if it wasn't for this!

Serverwmc does catch some port-in-use type errors when it starts up and tries to listen on port 9080, apparently not yours though. Glad you got it working.

Well I would have thought we pop up a toast notification that we failed to connect and XBMC pops up a toast notification saying the addon failed to load (possibly overwriting ours). if you have wake on lan enabled there would also be pop ups saying we are trying to wake the server
