great effort to add record option in kodi.

I have LE 9.0 and I installed ffmpeg tools addon and I chose the ffmpeg file but when I tried to choose record once I got this error in log:

NOTICE: [xbmcswift2] Request for "/broadcast/81662/myxmlepglink" matches rule for function "broadcast"
13:54:31.832 T:139627599996672 WARNING: [xbmcswift2] No converter provided, unicode should be used, but returning str value

what is the issue here?

 That isn't an error. It is just xbmcswift2 being pernickety.

If all went well you should have made a job file in
userdata\addon_data\plugin.video.iptv.recorder\jobs
and a recording in your temp folder unless you changed it.

Did any of that happen?

 Yeah I got job in jobs folder..but upon EPG the it's on 21:00 the program begin. I have to wait until 21:00 to be able to see the recorded file in my folder?

 You can do a Record Once on a program that is on now and it should start immediately.

 Great..thanks a lot  it works and recording the current stream...next try to see if can record upon epg schedule

Hi,

thx for replay unfortunately in version 0.0.97 the stream scrapping stops working after 34% for me.
So its not possible to test currently.

 Did it work ok before with the same settings?
Are there any errors in kodi.log?

If it was ok before make sure that the m3u follows the proper format:

Code:

#EXTM3U tvg-shift=3
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="id1" tvg-name="Channel_1" tvg-logo="logo1" group-title="Group 1",Channel 1
http://STREAMURL
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="id2" tvg-name="Channel_2" tvg-logo="logo2" group-title="Group 2",Channel 2
udp://STREAMURL
...

from https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:IPTV_Simple_Client

All I have added to the loading recently is to encode the name after the comma.

You could also turn on
Settings \ Debug \ debug menus
and
Maintenance \ NUKE
to clear out the old data.

It might be necessary to delete the addon_data folder.
userdata\addon_data\plugin.video.iptv.recorder 

hi,

the syntax from m3u is like yours. some streams are https instead of http.
I uninstalled an clear the addon_data folder

after this i restart and look at kodi.log. here the lines

Post the m3u line with it in so I can see how to fix it.

I think its this one, its the only with "Ü"

 after deleting this channel scrapping dont crash. thx. is ist in a future update possible to provide ä ö ü?

but all my telekom streams don't show in channel groups. neither in "Deutsch" still in "All  Channels".

beacause of paytv i shorten the link. this is a direct stream.

 The channels won't match because the tvg-id is the empty string "".
Make sure tvg-ID is in lowercase as tvg-id.
Make sure tvg-id matches the "channel id=" in the xmltv file.

It might work if the channel names match the name in the xmltv but remove the tvg-ID="" attribute completely. eg
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-name="Telekom Fussball 7" tvg-logo="" group-title="Deutsch",Telekom Fussball 7
But it would be much safer to use it correctly.


I'm having a lot of problems trying to get all the ü encodings and decodings to work in the code.
Unicode is always a nightmare in python.
I'll see if I can take another look tomorrow.
In the mean time try to keep it ascii if you can.

Primaeval,  
A few days ago when I asked you it worked for me but now I see that with the new version it does not work ...

I discovered that it is by the accents and the letter ñ of Spain

I have removed them and now if it works
