RE: WMC as the backend - released - TheImmortal - 2013-11-17

I was told that it is due a jump in the xbmc.python dependency from v2.0 to v2.1.0 which could be updated in addons.xml but I don't see it in the file packaged with pvr.wmc.
I have built the Raspberry edition based on the latest xbmc-pvr-addons git. If you'd like to test it here is the link to the download. I have not had a chance to test this yet!
Test version Raspberry Pi client for the latest nightlies.

Tested the new client, it installs fine but I cannot get it to connect to the backend to load the epg or recordings.

Here are a few things to try:
Turn Live TV off and then back on.
Reset the PVR database.
Take a look at the XBMC log (~/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log) and see if there are any clues.
Is this your first time setting up pvr.wmc or are you upgrading?
RE: WMC as the backend - released - TheImmortal - 2013-11-17
It looks like the PVR database has changed in the latest build (more data is requested/stored) so it might be having a problem with old data.

Can't get my this working on a client PC (Windows 7 Pro). Works fine on the server/client PC.

Make sure your network path points to your Recorded TV share and not a different share
RE: WMC as the backend - released - krustyreturns - 2013-11-17
Hey everyone,
I put up new windows versions of the clients (1014). The frodo changes are minor, just nicer messages to the user when doing instant records. The gotham one has the same changes, but more importantly uses the new pvr interface (1.9.0), so it won't crash with the newest gotham nightly.
I will post other platforms as I get them.

Much more succinct then my version, I like it.

*facepalm*
I forgot to change that when I installed the new hard drive.
Thanks! Working great now.
RE: WMC as the backend - released - TechLife - 2013-11-18
Sorry guys, the brain is not working today. I swear at one time, you could go ahead a few hours in the guide, select a program and it would bring up the series recording dialog (as long as you were setup for it). Now, it just plays the channel. I also tried pressing record and that did nothing at all. My xmls are in the right place and I always use Confluence for tests like this. What am I forgetting?

TechLife, when you move ahead to the show you want to record, just hit the info button to bring up the add timer screen.
I hope this helps

That's it. I warned you I was having a dumb moment. Thanks hoops.

We all have those days. (We've all had brain freeze when writing something and a simple everyday word looks odd and you're not sure if you've spelled it correctly) Maybe that's just me. LOL
RE: WMC as the backend - released - scarecrow420 - 2013-11-18
Also as Krusty mentioned, the default XBMC keymappings arent setup to bind anything to the Record command. So you need to setup a keymap to bind a key/combination to the Record command. I wonder what command a standard MCE remote sends through for the record button. I use a Logitech harmony so I will probably just do as Krusty does and have my remote send Ctrl-R from the Record button, and then map Ctrl-R to XBMC record command

scarecrow420, I just checked using the "ShowKey" app and this is what shows when I hit the record button <q>Notification(Key,q,3)</q>
Not sure what that mean
RE: WMC as the backend - released - scarecrow420 - 2013-11-18
I think that means it sends a "Q" key
You could confirm by opening notepad and hitting this button, seeing if QQQQQ gets printed in notepad
