Do I put all the files somewhere? I don't see a zip file to install.  And yes, edl file has same name and in same directory as wtv file.

put it in
%appdata%\kodi\addons

when kodi starts it should load this version of pvr.wmc instead of the kodi default since it has a higher version number.  Just delete it from this directory when you are done testing to revert.

 So I downloaded the files in pvr.wmc folder and placed them into %appdata%\kodi\addons\pvr.wmc.  When I start Kodi, it still shows 2.4.3, and then pvr.wmc folder is removed from the addons directory.

EDIT, I see 2.4.4 in My Addons now.  I get "Addon couldn't be loaded.  An unknown error has occurred" when I try to enable the addon.  Kodi log shows:
ERROR: Win32DllLoader::Load: Failed to load "C:\Users\Matt\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons\pvr.wmc-2.4.4\pvr.wmc.dll" with error 126: "The specified module could not be found.

I'm on 64-bit Kodi Leia RC4.  I can try 32-bit version if that's possibly the issue.

UPDATE:  I installed 32-bit Leia RC5.2 completely fresh (full uninstall of previous).  I put "pvr.wmc" folder into addons directory.  I see pvr.wmc 2.4.4 in My Addons within Kodi, but still get the "Addon couldn't be loaded.  An unknown error has occurred" message.  The kodi.log shows something similar to last time:
ERROR: Win32DllLoader::Load: Failed to load "C:\Users\Matt\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons\pvr.wmc\pvr.wmc.dll" with error 193: "%1 is not a valid Win32 application.

Thanks for you effort.  I will try to figure out what is gong on.  It should be 64b.

I am running 64b kodi, rc5 and it works fine for me (but obviously I can't tell if edl stuff works).  Looking back at what you posted, it looks like it just couldn't find the pvr.wmc.dll module, did you check to see if the dll was there?

It looked like it was there.  I'm going to redownload and try again, then check permissions on that file/folder structure if need be.  In the mean time, if you want, I've attached an edl file that works in Krypton.  You can just paste the contents into a text file and name the file with the exact name of the wtv file but with an edl extension.

Fresh install of Kodi RC 5.2 64-bit.  I put pvr.wmc into addons folder, and get the same error, this time running debug logging (log below).  I noticed a few other errors in the debug log, such as this one early on:
INFO: ADDON: cpluff: 'Could not read plug-in directory C:\Users\Matt\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons: No such file or directory'

and this one a bit later:
DEBUG: CTextureCacheJob::GetImageHash - unable to stat url C:\Users\Matt\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons\pvr.wmc\fanart.jpg

Of course the ERRORs come in just after that one.  Let me know what to try next if you have any ideas.  Also, I attached a screenshot of my folder structure to see if that looks correct.

@krustyreturns I'm very ready to help fix the edl issue.. however I am running an android client.  If you're able to set up a test version of your fix for android, Im happy to test.

@giant25,  I don't know that is going on, so I will just work with the edl file you sent me.  Is that the only format of edl I have to worry about?  Any more examples?

@mrfrankmrfrank, thanks but I can only build for windows

I can only test the code in windows, but when I am done the kodi team will use the same code to build for all platforms.

All edl files are very similar.  The only difference I've seen is the "edl skip field" or "action" field, which is that "3" listed at the end of each line.  The listing of the values for that field are in the Kodi wiki here:
https://kodi.wiki/view/Edit_decision_list
I've always used "3" and it works in Krypton.  It might make sense to see if the other options work.

ALSO:  I took all of the files from 2.4.4 google drive download and put them into addons again.  Then I took the pvr.wmc.dll from 2.4.3 and put it in with these files.  The addon loads fine and works (comm skip doesn't, of course).  It seems like there's something specific to the 2.4.4 pvr.wmc.dll that my system doesn't like.  It appears I'm not alone, but no resolution:

Lastly, I ran a system file checker (sfc /scannow) per Google searches on dll errors like this, but that didn't help things.

What I have is working with the edl example you gave me.  Do you know if the delimiters between the fields are always tabs as in the file you sent me?
