I am looking at the PVR search function. (I am on Win 7 Kodi 16.0 and PVR WMC client.) It works in Kodi 15.1 but in 16.0 when I open the window (tvsearch) / MyPVRSearch.xml all I see is this:
There is a single entry "Lexar" which I have no idea where it comes from, and there is no "Search..." like there is in Kodi 15.1. Tried Kodi 17 0401 win32 build same results. Debug log: http://xbmclogs.com/padnr5jyc
I do notice that if I open the EPG window and open the context menu on an EPG entry, then select "Find similar" it will open the tvsearch dialog, this time with "Search..." as the first entry, and still just the single result "Lexar". But at least I can select the "Search..." entry and that opens the pvrguidesearch dialog and then if select "Search" from there (button 26) I get the actual search results shown in tvsearch window (still with that "Lexar" entry).
I also notice that for any of the entries, there isn't any way to jump to that in the EPG timeline view and the only Record option seems to be "record one time(guide)". No way to turn it into a series recording from the timers window either. So the search function seems kind of marginally useful if a user wants to create a series recording (guide or wishlist) without having to scroll through the whole EPG looking for the next entry (then you can use context menu to get to the series recording timers).
Any ideas?
update:
I realized I had a "Lexar" jump/flash drive in a USB slot so I removed it, after which tvsearch now works. Seems like a bug. It hen inserted a Sandisk flash drive into the same slot and couldn't repeat the problem. I put the Lexar flash back in and again the problem returned. I note that the "Sandisk" flash drive doesn't have a volume name in windows, while the Lexar volume does have the name "Lexar" so that may be a factor.
