I have test installations of Kodi running V17.6 & V18 Alpha 2, both running against the same library & VBox Product Number 3442 running Software Version XTI_VJ.2.59. These Kodi versions also share the same Kodi profile.

I can play recordings on V17.6 but not on V18 Alpha 2.

The kodi log entries for V17.6 are:

The call to the recording file is completely different under V18 & appears to be pointing to the wrong location.

Yes same here, it would be nice to have this fixed.

Please file an issue here: https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.vbox/issues

EDIT: which add-on version are you using? As far as I can see the official pvr.vbox add-on does not support recordings (and never did).

EDIT2: nvm, it does. ;-)

I already found the problem. Will try to come up with a fix soon.

Much appreciated, thank you.

Should be fixed with https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.vbox/pull/210

You're a star - is there anywhere I can download the updated version now or do I have to wait for it to get changed?

If you cannot build the updated add-on yourself, you will have to wait until the fix PR got merged. Then, the fix will be included automatically in the next Kodi nightly build.

Ksooo,

Thanks for the prompt reply & the fix. I'll pick it up in the nightly shortly. It's not a priority for me at the moment 'cos it's not my production system. Just wanted to get the problem raised.

Keith

Merged, fix should make it into next Leia nightly build.

Works perfectly now thanks.
