Sometimes a recording doesn't play from Kodi 16
#1
Click recording from Kodi and nothing happens. No error, nothing. Restarting Kodi or ServerWMC either one basically fixes it. Anyone seen this before?

You mean you are watching a live tv stream and you hit record? Or you are in guide view or channel view and hit record? If you can produce the problem, then post the serverwmc log on pastebin.com and post a link to it here.

I've seen this occasionally too. I will click on a recording and nothing will happen. My fix has been to click on a different show, let it start playing, press stop, then click on the original recording and it works...weird. I'll turn on logs and see if I can catch it in action this week.

Interesting. Thanks for the workaround.

This bug has been fixed in the newest version of pvr.wmc for krypton.

I'll give it a try.

This happens to me alot. I usually do what the post above said (try another show), but today I tried 5 and none would play. Rebooting always fixes it.

I have 0.5.8. Is there a newer version?

It has to by krypton (kodi 17), the version of the addon in that install is 1.2.0. This is assuming the bug you are reporting is the same one that I put a fix in for, but it sure sounds like the same bug.

Okay. That official release is a ways off I think. So 15-16 won't receive any more updates?

Since the addon is part of kodi, its harder to get addon changes into released versions of kodi. They are more reluctant to accept changes since its released and there are fewer revs of kodi after release.

You did have a PR for back porting this to Jarvis but it had merge conflicts and didn't get resolved or recreated? I think if you do that we can at least have it ready, then it's easier to lobby to have it included in a Jarvis patch release. Eg I see they have a 16.1 release (perhaps missed the boat for that one) but if a 16.2 eventuated and we had a fix already done, there's a better chance of getting it in

Right. Since I missed the 16.1 boat I didn't think it worthwhile (also didn't figure they'd accept it anyway), but I'll take your advice and put a PR in again for kodi 16.
