Full Version: Having trouble getting EDL support to work with 18.9 on Android

I recently bought a Shield TV and for some reason EDL files are not being read on my version.  On my previous Shield it used to work, so I am not sure if I am doing something wrong.

Typically in kodi.log I would expect to see lines like this when loading a video.  However, I am not seeing this entry at all for any videos I start.  Does EDL only work with watching through a PVR plugin?  I thought it used to work with any video played, in my case through an SMB share in file manager.  Haven't found any setting to enable/disable this including adding the settings in the advancedsettings.xml.

No. It works for all videos.

Check the wiki to ensure you have set it up correctly... Edit_decision_list (wiki)

If no luck, provide a Debug Log and a screenshot of your movie folder so we can see the file names and types.

Thank you for taking a look!  There isn't anything out of the ordinary as far as I can tell.  I tried deleting the extra files, so that only the .edl and .ts file is there but that didn't help either.

Yep, nothing in there. My next "guess" is there is something wrong with the edl file.

Can you upload the entire file and provide the link so I can test your edl file. Thanks.

EDL file is here, but shouldn't there still be a debug log statement showing that it is trying to find an EDL file?  Seems like that code path isn't getting executed at all for some reason.

Looking at the logic some more, it looks like it only looks for an EDL file if it thinks its on a local HD or network share.   My guess is that it thinks it is neither, possibly because the share is on a different subnet than the IP of the box.  Will have to try to follow the logic.
