Hello all,
I have a HDHomrun Prime, a Windows 8.1 Machine running WMC with ServerWMC, and Kodi running on Win8.1 machines for the clients...my question is...what needs to be done to be able to pause/rewind live TV? For whatever reason, I can't seem to figure it out. There's also an issue where if I go to the "Tuners" tab, it says "unknown" for the channel, while I'm watching, I don't know if that has something to do with it?
Thanks in advance.

Hard to tell... Please restart and then try to pause or rewind and then tune to the unknown channel. Grab the debug log and post it to pastebin and put the link here. That will help us be able to figure it out.
Thanks

If you are using dlna mode with kodi it will cause this problem. If that's the case we can't do anything about it, its a kodi limitation. I would just suggest turning of dlna for kodi clients instead.

No I am talking about a serverwmc setting. Instead just post your serverwmc log, like sbthomas said. In serverwmc you find it in the debug tab. Post the log on pastebin.com and put a link to it here.

That did it. It was checked for Kodi/Plex...thanks Krusty!
Does this mean that there is more of a load on the server now? Like decoding/etc? or is it just network related?
Man, I can't thank you enough. It's been bothering me for SO long...I even tried to switch to mythtv which was a nightmare. Thanks again.

Great, glad you got it. There is more of a load in this mode, but no decoding or transcoding is happening.

Same issue with WMC/ServerWMC running on a Win 7 pc, HD Homerun Extend, KODI running on an NVIDIA Shield. [all wireless]
Unchecking DLNA for KODI in the ServerWMC however prevents KODI playing any channel. KODI complains it cannot connect to the tuner.
Even with this limitation however, this is a fantastic approach for my needs and thanks to all who created this method of merging two great programs.

pause/RW on live TV in DLNA mode is not supported by Kodi. Unfortunately there isn't anything we can do on the PVR side.
As for the ServerWMC log, it appears normal. However, I don't see a connection from a client which would be consistent with the error you are getting in KODI. However, I don't see how checking/unchecking the DLNA box in ServerWMC would affect KODI being able to connect to the ServerWMC backend. Do you have the PVR WMC Add-on enabled and configured? Can you watch Windows Media Center recordings using the TV->Recordings menu?
You can also post a ServerWMC log with the DLNA box checked and watching a channel. That will confirm that the ServerWMC backend is reachable.

Sorry, I don't know what is happening. The log you posted shows you being able to watch TV from Craig-HP which is the machine running WMC/ServerWMC. However it looks like all attempts to watch from "localhost" which is actually the Nvidia Shield Android box are failing. Are you able to watch recordings at all from the Shield? Have you put the Windows machine user credentials in the Folder tab in SwerverWMC. This will be required to watch on non-windows machines. This would cause both non-DLNA live TV and recordings to fail to be viewed. I'd also recommend turning off remux all recordings, that doesn't do any good. Hope this helps...
