Solved Live TV on android
#1
Is this supposed to work on android?

I have kodi installed enabled live TV and configured the mythtv plugin but no live TV menu option displays in main menu.

I have it installed on Samsung galaxy tab 4 10.1

I upgraded to rc2 and same problem. No errors in logs and no live TV menu using both the confluence and touch skins

It should. I'll have to set up a Myth TV backend to test it with that, but using IPTV Simple works for sure on Android.

It works for me on Android (ARM based).

I have it running on several devices e.g. Sero 8 tablet, ZTE LTE smartphone

The no live TV menu option indicates that the mythtv addon cannot connect to the mythtv backend.

Try this URL from a browser on your android device, change the ip address to that of your backend.

You should get a response like this if everything is working

re-touched skin does not support PVR, Confluence does.

I disabled live TV in mythtv add-on NOT the live TV in settings! and I can see the PVR trying to load recordings but then the dialog disappears and no live TV button.

Need a debug log.
Make sure live TV is selected in both the mythtv pvr and system settings.

In mythtv pvr add-on Advanced tab select "Include more debug information in the log file"

In System>Settings>System>Debugging select "Enable debug logging"

Restart Kodi and then post the log (which now contains additional debug data ) to xbmclogs

Thanks Ned and Mike for your efforts. I have no idea why it decided to work. Its poasible my son had left live TV paused on another xbmc pointing at same back end. Wonder if it could have locked it up
I discovered that xbmc had actually just crashed out and wonder if its crashing and my android tablet connecting are related..
