I'm using Raspberry Pi II running Jarvis 16.1. Backend is a HDHomeRun & HDHomeRun Prime tuners running on a Win 7 box using ServerWMC.

I am able to pause, rewind, and fast forward from video files but, when playing live TV, I can pause and then play ok from that point forward without an issue but, when I try to forward or rewind Live TV, it acts like it is rewinding or forwarding but always fails and just resumes the actual live TV without time shifting.

I'm not using DLNA and obviously the time shifting of the stream is possible because the pause works properly.

I desperately need to make this work for the wife

Thanks,

GaryA

Is it only a problem on the pi? i.e. does ff and rw work in kodi on the windows server? Does skip forward and skip backward work on the pi? Have you tried turning off hardware acceleration on the pi?

I've only tried it on the Pi and have tried turning off the hardware accelerations to no avail.

Hmm, well live-tv ff and rw work on my fire tv, but I don't have a pi setup to test with. Does anyone who uses a pi tell us if ff, rw or skip work on the pi for live-tv?

In the meantime you might post your serverwmc log on pastebin.com just so we can check the settings you are running under. Also it might be interesting to turn off the deletion of temporary (see debug tab) files then see if you can use kodi to ff or rw the resulting ts file you find in the tempswmc folder.

I posted the log and was able to play, RW & FF the .ts file directly without issue.

THANKS!

where did you post the log? I need the link if its on pastebin.

I just tried and I can skip back/forward with a Pi, I don't have RW/FF keys on my remote as I use skip instead

@garya,
This is the problem:
2016/05/09 14:24:23.458 UseUrlClientPaths_Kodi: True >>Default: False

I'm not sure why you set it to use URLs for the client path, but whenever Kodi's live tv channel input gets a url path (whether it be DLNA or this setting) FF and RW don't work. You need to use set this to false in swmc's settings, then use shared SMB paths. So change this setting to:
<UseUrlClientPaths_Kodi>false</UseUrlClientPaths_Kodi>
then make sure your recorded tv folder is shared on your server and that you have the correct network path set to it in the Folders tab of serverwmc. Also make sure you enter login credentials or the pi won't be able to access this folder.



@Dilligaf, thanks.

@Dilligaf, thanks.

Thank You, I'll try it in the morning and post results

After unchecked "Use URLs" it did not change the behavior but when I unchecked"Enable HTTP Host services RR & FF worked as designed.

At one time I was using PLEX to stream channels but no longer so no need for the HTTP services.

Thanks for all your help and advice.

That setting doesn't effect it. More likely somewhere in the setting change you restarted, which I forgot to tell you to do. Glad you got ti working.

Strange because I restarted after each change.

Just glad it's working now.
