Why can´t access the Timeshift Folder?

There was an Update yesterday of the Plugin at 23:11!!! It seems that is the Problem;-)

Sincerly, Karsten.

Hi, try to see which version of the Mediaportal PVR Client Add-on you have installed on your system, if you have updates set automatically you should have version 8.1.1.0, this version does not work for me too, I solved it by disabling automatic updates and installing the previous version of the Add-on .. 8.1.0.0
Marco.

Thank you Marco. Yes, yesterday the Plugin was Updated to Version 8.1.1.0. Rollback to previous Version 8.1.0.0 solved the Problem. Disabled the automatic Update for this Plugin.

Hello Karsten,

It looks like the MP-TV-server has lost the access rights to your TV-Buffer!

By October 2021, I had also connected KODI to the MP-TV-Server Vers: 1.26.000.0 Nothing worked with Kodi 19 (Matrix) at first.

I bought the DVBViewer TV server and it is much better, faster and more stable. Disadvantage: price (2 * 19.00 Euro). Update from Kodi 19.0 -> 19.1 no problems.

Sincerly, ClausMM

DVBViewer

@alwinus can you take a look? It appears there is an issue with the latest version.

Can someone post a full debug log of the issue please so we can try to fix this?

@phunkyfish I wonder if this should be -1 not 0 https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.mediapor...7803301R38

Following through to MultiByteToWideChar(...) the definition https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows...towidechar says

Quote:Size, in bytes, of the string indicated by the lpMultiByteStr parameter. Alternatively, this parameter can be set to -1 if the string is null-terminated. Note that, if cbMultiByte is 0, the function fails.

Martin

I can confirm that v8.1.1 under Kodi 19.1 (Win x64) is not working anymore.
How can i go back to the previous version?

Download and install the zip from github did not work for me.

Let's try it. Creating test builds.

You can't use a zip from github because this is a binary addon and must be compiled.

Please try these testbuilds that has a likely fix: https://jenkins.kodi.tv/blue/organizatio.../artifacts

@Karsten0506 @marcopt

Could you also try these testbuilds: https://jenkins.kodi.tv/blue/organizatio.../artifacts

Great will release it shortly. @alwinus no need to look. Thanks @emveepee for the fix!
