Hey,
This is from the CCM Helix thread, hoping someone can help.. Thanks

Idk if it's skin related but upnp tv shows only plays "recently added" getting error mssg everywhere else. Upnp movies work fine.

I'll fix the favourites ASAP.

Re The UPnP sources - I do notice on my network, the one machine I want an OpenElec machine is very reluctant to show up in the list. Windows machine are always there. Quite often have to go to it and toggle the UPnP server option a couple of times. Thinking of maybe? a WakeOnLan option might help, probably put one in and we can all see if it helps - how often to ping is the decision.

All the UPnP TVShows options work for me, providing the machine is properly selected awake and all that. Can you explain a bit further which ones work or do not work for you.

[Edit] Another thing, what are you using as UPnP server ? ATM Only setup for Kodi - others eg:Windows have different paths to media selections. I have started collecting them, but long process.

Hey,

I'm using Kodi 14.1 as the server, it does pick up my MB3 server but for this purpose it's Kodi

Idk that it's skin related because it's doing the same with Confluence, but here goes.

TvShows only play when I use "recently added" when I use any of the others it doesn't play. It won't even go into the shows to view episodes from the Title view. Here's part of the log

Code:

Using stock Confluence and still having the problem See Debug Log

the server is on 14.1 and the client is on 14.2
Win7 on both

UPNP set up as;
Files>UPNP Server>TvShows,
nothing is playing ie: Title, Year, Actors, Genre, Studio, Tags
I can see the artwork etc but nothing plays

UPNP set up as;
Files>UPNP Server>Recent Episodes
plays fine.. everything works as it should.


Anybody else having similar issue?

[Ned Scott]

It's a very strange and semi-known issue. I've seen this myself several times, and I have been told that it is probably related to how Kodi handles TV show entries. For some reason, in certain combinations of server/client situations (I can't find a reliable pattern), TV shows nodes (TV show -> Season -> List) stop working because Kodi tries to "play" a season or other listing, rather than open it up. While movies and TV shows from "recently added" nodes work fine.

What's even weirder is that you can force TV shows to work by removing fanart for that TV show, although it still has a long pause to load the TV show listing.

Thanks for the heads up.

Yea, it won't open Titles at all. I just set it up UPNPServer>Video files>TvShows>Titles and it still won't open...

Edit: Just tried it with MB3 as UPNP server and Tvshow titles work fine seems a little slower however

i have been having trouble with this as well. I changed setting in library setting to never flatten on my Client pc and this solved the problem for me. Also I have default set to show information instead of resume or play in file list setting.

I have been scouring the web for a resolution to this issue as well, but to no avail. So I figured I would post in this thread although I know it is dated.

I have the exact same issue as described, but I am running Jarvis on two Android boxes (Nvidia Shield as the client, 6.0 marshmallow; and KDLINKS, 4.4. Kitkat as the host) My library on the host box is located on external hard drives. I am able to view my Movie library and play all videos without issue, but with TV shows, the only time I can play any files is when I go to the 'Recent Episodes' node. Otherwise, if I use any of the other nodes, 'Title' for example, I can see all of the shows in my library but the episode count for each starts with the letter 'S' and when I click on a show name, instead of then breaking down further into seasons, the banner art .jpeg enlarges as if it is being played, and then shortly after closes.

The episode count issue is odd. For example, if a show has 50 episodes, it displays as 's50'. Then when I try to open up the show to see the seasons and then further the episodes, all that occurs is the banner fanart enlarging and then shortly after closing.

I also cannot play a TV Show Episode from the host/server box and select to 'Play To' the client box.

If anyone can help with this issue, the hair I keep pulling from my head would be forever grateful.

So I see it's been over a year on this and no solution. I'm having the exact same issue. To be clear:
This only happens over UPnP.
My movie collection play absolutely fine.
But my TV shows enumerate. I select a show and, as previously described, the banner for the show appears full-screen, then closes. Obviously the expected behavior is to drill down into the season list, and subsequently the episode list. That's not the case.

My source is a Windows 10 machine. My client, in this case, is an Android machine. I assumed it was an Android issue at first, but my other Android devices do not suffer this issue when opening UPnP TV shows from the same Windows 10 source. So it's one of many of my devices having this issue.

Any ideas?!

Thanks!

Have anyone found a solution for this? Have the exact same issue, with two Windows Machines, one win 7 (client) and one win 10 (server)
