Hi,
I’m using Kodi 16.1 with Live TV enabled connected to a locally running tvheadend all running on the same Raspberry Pi 3.
I found a strange behavior when trying to search the EPG.
From the home screen, when I go to: TV > Search (refer to the image below).

In that case, I would highlight the last sub menu (Search).
When I press Enter, I’m directly presented to a Search result page. However, it is empty and only contains the name of my USB connected external hard drive (Seagate).
I would have assumed that I could enter some search criteria before seeing the results?
Can anyone chime in as to whether this is normal or not?
In the mean-time, I found work-around that yields what I want, but with more complex steps. In case this could help someone else…
– From the home screen, go to: TV > EPG
– Select any program in the grid
– Press ‘C’ (context menu: refer to: Basic_controls#Contextual_menu (wiki))
– Select ‘Find similar’, Press Enter
– The results will contain something related to what you just searched (irrelevant for now…)
– Move to the top of the results list and select the title of what you just searched
– Press Enter
– At this point, you can customize every aspect of the search parameters: Type, Channel, Title…
Thanks,
Mathieu
