I have been using serverwmc for a couple days now with no issues and was working great. I recently rebooted my windows server PC today and noticed the following error appear when serverwmc opens. And the error won't let me run the server for some reason (I'm guessing it's related to parsing the EPG?)

Thoughts?

Kinda weird. The addon is not recognized at all.
It has to be placed in ~/.xbmc/addons/pvr.wmc/ and XBMC needs to be restarted, right?

Were you ever able to get it working on Openelec?

i have the latest linux client on openelec x32 oss install works fantastic, my only wish is to set up continuous scheduled recordings, or if it is spossible to setup recordings within wmc and they appear on the wmc client

I mean the Raspberry Pi version of Openelec which I assume requires an arm version of pvr.wmc.

Has anyone found a comskip plugin for rasbmc? My recordings are processed for comskip but i need the client add on for rasbmc

rasbmc doesn't support .edl files? Normally you just have to configure comskip to output a .edl file that xbmc recognizes nativity.

Ohh but xbmc doesn't support them from the Recorded TV section. I almost forgot. You need to either play from the video library or video files sections of XBMC.

Are there plans or is anyone working on an Android XBMC plug-in for the front end? Would love to be able to use an Ouya as MCE extender Smile

Yes, the Raspbmc-version works in Openelec on the RPi as well. I had to reboot the Rpi twice and wait for about 10 Minutes before XBMC noticed that there is a new addon Big Grin

However, it has a poor performance. But I guess in my case this is because my wifi is currently too slow for mpeg2-ts (datarates between 44,88 Mbit/s and 64,5Mbit/s). I'll investigate into this and let you know.

As Rasbpmc is not the only way to run XBMC on the RPi, it would be really nice if krustyreturns would release it unbundled, too. It's a bit painful to download and extract hundreds of MBs of the Raspbmc installation files just to get the few bytes of the addon.

I'm glad to hear you at least got it partially working. I have been trying to extract the addon from the Raspbmc image rather unsuccessfully. How did you unpackage it? I would like to try it on my setup as my Pi is LAN connected.

raspmbc-final.img.gz contains sd.img. sd.img contains 1.img. raspbmc-final.img.gz and sd.img can be opend for example by 7-zip.

1.img can be mounted as virtual drive. I did a search for "pvr.wmc". There are two directories with that name. One with only PVR_WMC.pvr and one with a couple of other files, e.g. addon.xml. Copy this directory to ~/.xbmc/addons/ and restart XBMC. After some time (it took about 10 minutes here) it shows up in the disabled-pvr-addon-section.

I wonder if it runs better on LAN. It would be nice if you could post your results! Smile

EDIT: The addon itself runs really smooth. Even long EPG lists load faster than expected on the Pi.

Try reseting the pvr database in xbmc. I will revisit this assert in my code too.

This software doesn't care if you set up the recordings in wmc or xbmc, they will see each other's recording requests.

I don't know of anyone actively working on this, or at least they have not contacted me.

Hoops is right, it will work the same as wmc, the show can shift around but it will still record (so longs as your epg data is getting updated, but the wmc service handles this). Also you can click the up/down arrows next to the 'Airtime' field and it will give you the "Anytime" option, if you want to use the shotgun approach.

This doesn't have to do with XBMC, it has to do simply with opening the serverwmc application. When it opens for the first time, it scans the WMC EPG (does a bunch of "GetEntries" and after it has about 7000 entries that error message appears. Not sure if there's additional debugging I can do, but ultimately it fails as it's parsing/loading the WMC EPG outside of XBMC.

The server doesn't do 'GetEntries' unless xbmc requests it, so xbmc must be running. There is a stale channel lD in the epg database and xbmc is trying to pull entries from the server using it and its making the server crash (I have fixed this so it won't cause a crash in the next release). If you first run xbmc and reset the pvr database, then run the server the problem will clear.
