It loads the EPG, but does not record

Code:

I'm happy to go back to ASCII titles.

Try 0.0.62.

I've added a Setting:
Jobs and Rules \ Url Encode ("|*/<>\?)

Turn that off and see if it works.

Don't come crying to me if it records somewhere stupid.

Windows is a pain in the arse when it comes to unicode.

It now creates a file with / instead of :

Code:

Big Cats/ The Science of - BBC Earth HD - 2018-05-29 12-00.json

and does not record it. Please drop it. I can live with that and the one below.

The non-ascii channels are not throwing errors, but still are not recorded.

[primaeval]

It's probably not a good idea to allow file system characters even on non-windows systems.
I should probably remove that setting.

I'll see if I can find out what is going wrong with the channel ids later.
If you've got the time and skills see if you can spot where the channelid is going wrong in main.py.
It probably needs a .decode("utf8") or .encode("utf8") somewhere.

Sure. I can have a look thanks.

[dzejms]

Having more issues with file system characters. Also „/„ causes issues. I had to use replace option to get the recording going for some of the programs.

[primaeval]

It's safer if I just take that option out. Is that going to cause you any problems?

[primaeval]

I think I've fixed the problem with utf8 tvg-ids in 0.0.64.
Could you have a check for me.
I just used a channel id and name of BBC1é to test everything.

There were some other problems in Search due to the change to listing by channel name.

Hey!

i use a wetek core with libreelec 8.2.5 which ffmpeg version i need and whre i install that

big, big thankz

[primaeval]

I think the LibreELEC ffmpeg should be in
/usr/bin/ffmpeg

It is probably good enough for most stream types.
I'm not sure if it can deal with smb drives though.

Hi,
first of all, Thank you very much for this addon!!! I don't watch much TV and usually there's only one tv show that i like. Of course, i usually not at home or doing something else. Because of it, i tried tvheadend and myth, while was a real pain in the a** with all configs. All that i needed was your add on!!

Right now i am having a error with the new version. Not sure in which one started (version 0.58 is working fine now), but when i tried the version 0.64, i cannot record anything. The usual Record Once produced nothing, no job, nothing. And the record always (using the name of the program) was being show at the maintence/rules, but also nothing happens. 

No matter which channel (and of course, its working when i go directly to the channel, to watch tv), when i select something to record, this error can be found at the log:

16:24:14.372 T:140429982406400  NOTICE: [xbmcswift2] Request for "/record_once/1578/VOX/VOX" matches rule for function "record_once"

16:24:14.381 T:140428904224512   ERROR: No url for VOX

After the downgrade to version 0.58, its working normal..  I am using Fedora 28 64 bits amd Kodi 17.6

Hi. Thanks.

I probably haven't got the migration code right.

If you are on Fedora I presume you know your way around a linux filesystem.
See if it works if you rename or move the addon_data folder and effectively start fresh.
userdata\addon_data\plugin.video.iptv.recorder
A NUKE should work too.

It looks like your xml file is missing tvg-name=„channel name”. Since i’ve added it to my xml i’ve no longers any issues with recording.

Can you paste part of your xml file? You cam remove user and pass if it has any.

 Hi,

Thanks, but isnt missing.. Here is a small part of it (its 59 channels, so no need to put everything, i guess)
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,(01) tvg-id="Das Erste" tvg-name="Das Erste", Das Erste
rtp://@239.35.10.4:10000

#EXTINF:-1,(02) tvg-id="ZDF" tvg-name="Zdf", ZDF
rtp://@239.35.10.5:10000

#EXTINF:-1,(03) tvg-id="SAT.1" tvg-name="Sat.1", SAT.1
rtp://@239.35.20.20:10000

#EXTINF:-1,(04) tvg-id="SAT.1 Gold" tvg-name="Sat.1 Gold", SAT.1 Gold
rtp://@239.35.20.24:10000

#EXTINF:-1,(05) tvg-id="RTL" tvg-name="Rtl", RTL
rtp://@239.35.20.10:10000

#EXTINF:-1,(06) tvg-id="RTL II" tvg-name="Rtl Ii", RTL II
rtp://@239.35.20.22:10000

[primaeval]

All those different cases for the ids and names look problematic to me.
Do the tvg-id values exactly match the xmltv channel ids including the case?

I haven't seen that #EXTINF:-1,(01) style used before either.
The regex matches the name after the last comma but it might get confused by the first comma.

Does it look like all the channels are getting through to the database from the xmltv and m3u files?
You can't pm yet as you haven't made 10 posts but you can post a link here if there are no passwords in it.

Have a look in the database with something like this if you can't solve it.
https://sqlitebrowser.org/

I wonder if the rtp links are causing a problem too.
I might have assumed http somewhere in the code.
