That s means player wants read more than the head of stream. What kind of stream you try to read ? mpeg-ts , mpeg-ps or other ? Is it analog channel ?
It is really strange cmyth addon is able to read it without issue ! Could you provide log with extra debug enabled for cmyth addon and new addon ? Thanks
Also you could try new addon with same version of xbmc you use with cmyth... For now i didn't provide cmyth addon for kodi RC1, but i could.
There i think the root cause could be the new version of ffmpeg / kodi player. So i would like you try new addon with same version of xbmc you use cmyth addon.
Hi, I also seem to be having the same problem on my raspberry pi and on my laptop. When I loaded up openelec 4.2 gotham on my raspberry, using 1.9.20 it worked fine. However, as soon as I tried using 1.9.29 for gotham that you provided on your cloud server, video stalls after about 5 seconds.
On my laptop 1.10.1 stalls as well.
I have a ceton infinitv 4 PCIe card, which streams digital cable mpeg2-ts files.
Please using gotham version 1.9.22-29 Could you provide log with debug mode enabled : system->settings->system->debug AND addon settings->advanced tab->enable more debug...
Hi, here's a copy of the xbmc.log, running gotham 13.2 with mythtv plugin 1.9.22-29

Thanks all.
Listing here so I remember next time 
I am running Mythbuntu 14.04. I added ppa:jlbarriere68/ppa to my repository. and I did
sudo apt-get install kodi-pvr-mythtv-helix
However within Kodi -> Systems, I cannot seem to install the addon: 'PVR clients - Mythtv cmyth PVR client' as it gives me the error:
'Dependencies not met. Please contact the add-on author'.
Can somebody lend me a helping hand?
Thanks a lot.
Maybe I missed it but where do I find the add-on inside kodi?
I just installed Kodi, and I cannot get this addon to work with my embedded backend running 0.24.3. Looking through the forum, it appears that this PVR client only supports Myth API services which started with 0.25. Can you confirm this? If so, the description of the addon in Kodi should be updated from "(up to MythTV 0.28)" to "(MythTV 0.25 to 0.28)". A shame that 0.24 is no longer compatible with Kodi.
So, I installed Mythbuntu 14.04.1 on a laptop. This MythTV PVR Client (v1.9.28) seems to connect, but doesn't show the "TV" menu item for me to access recordings. The cmyth client (v1.9.16) in XBMC v13.2 works fine with the new Mythbuntu installation. I did set the API code to 0000 in the backend settings. See the debug log:
http://pastebin.com/fXyFjCTh
I'm using no grabber, and my video source is titled "broadcast" with a networkID of "-1", which may be helpful to debug the following error in the debug log.
"17:35:08 T:4601679872 ERROR: PVR - PVRTransferChannelGroupMember - cannot find group 'broadcast' or channel '-1'"
Help!

I had the same problem with the default theme on Kodi. I added and switched to the aeon-nova theme and enabled LiveTV in Settings before I could see the LiveTV in the kodi menu. Can you try?

If you have successfully installed package kodi-pvr-mythtv-helix, you should see it in "disabled addons" until you eneble it. But first you have to disable or uninstall old cmyth addon, then enable new addon.

MythTV 0.24 is no more supported by mythtv team and so not by me too. If you want to keep 0.24, do not upgrade to Kodi. The new addon requires MythTV server from 0.27 to 0.28 as described in the wiki.

Thats the problem! I don't see the cmyth PVR client listed in the disabled add-ons. nor do I see it in the enabled ones. I can find it if I search for it.
Thank you for your help. I appreciate it!

what is your platform ? ubuntu, other linux, osx, windows, openelec ....
[EDIT: Figured it out, problem went away when I installed the newer add-in from the zip file in the link you sent a couple pages back. Leaving this here in case it helps somebody.]
I'm getting "The PVR backend does not support this action" when trying to schedule a recording. The MythBackend logs show "Invalid parentID/override". What does that mean?
Code:

The pvr.mythtv logs show that a 500 is returned:

EPG works in Kodi
LiveTV works in Kodi
MythTVFrontEnd can schedule recordings
mythbackend 0.27.4, clean install
Kodi upgraded from Gotham
all on Mac Mini / Yosemite
Pointers welcome!

Thanks for the clarification. Can the description of the MythTV PVR client in Kodi be updated to indicate that at least 0.27 is required?

kodi bug. Please restart kodi and if live tv is enable you should see TV menu.
My bug must be worse, because even after many restarts, the TV menu is missing. Switching to other skins has the TV menu, although I've only gotten recordings to play with Aeon Nox. Is there a bug report? If not, I'll open one.

I uninstalled and re-installed kodi and kodi-pvr-mythtv-helix. I could see the add-on in the disabled list, I enabled it and now I can connect to LiveTV properly.
Janbar. I finally found it, after restarting kodi it showed up in the enabled addons. I noticed it doing some weird stuff when watching live tv. The bottom third of the screen would look smeared. I enabled demuxing and I think it fixed it. I am not super technical so I am not sure what demuxing does and why I need it now when I didn't need it with cmyth. Anyway I appreciate all your hard work on this addon and helping people on the forum. Is there a place I can make a donation to your work? Without it I would be without TV right now.
EDIT: igore the rest of this post, I found the solution, see next post.
Janbar I have openelec 4.97.3 and I think I have the bug you describe in post 492 http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid1859434
The version in openelec is 1.9.28.
Would I be right in thinking it is that bug when the last few lines of the (non debug) log are

So my questions:
1. Do you think I am on the right track?
2. If so, is there an easy fix to update the pvr.mythtv addon on openelec RC, and do you know if your fix will be in openelec 5 final?
3. If I am on the wrong track I assume you'd like a full debug log?
