I have been trying to get an implementation set up for a number of weeks now and I'm now to the point where I could use some help. I am trying to configure two PCs (one primary, one secondary).
The primary PC (Gigabyte Brix Pro with I7 processor) has been setup successfully and functioning as expected. It is using Windows 7 Home Premium, WMC, ServerWMC (1.9.9.52, build: 1175), and XBMC (not sure of version, but log file says starting XBMC (13.2 Git:20140817-of3db05)) with the PVR client for ServerWMC installed.
With the secondary PC (Gigabyte Brix with I3 processor), I was hoping to use the PVR on the primary. I installed the latest version of Kodi available at the time (14.0 Git:20141223-ad747d9) which has the PVR client for ServerWMC installed and configured. However, I have been unable to get this configuration working. The "TV" menu item does not show.
In looking at the logs, I found that the secondary PC was having trouble reaching the primary. I verified that the firewall is open and Recorded TV folder shared.
The odd part of this, is that I was able to get it working for short periods of time. If I change the port used, both within ServerWMC and the secondary's PVR client information, the TV menu item shows up and I am able to see TV channels along with Recorded TV from the Primary. However, if I 'exit' out of Kodi and restart it, it no longer works. The only way to resolve the problem for the current session of Kodi, I have to change the port again on both sides. Another FYI is that when I do 'exit' out of Kodi, Kodi appears to lock up for about 3 minutes before it closes down. On the primary PC, this takes about 2 seconds. Granted, I do have debug logging turned on, but I wouldn't think that would slow down the 'exit'. Btw, this long 'exit' time does not really seem related to the primary issue because it was taking that long before I was ever able to get it communicating with the primary (i.e. resetting port numbers.
Anyone have any ideas?
