Hello,
I’m a new user to kodi and Tvheadend after being a MythBackend/Frontend user for nearly 8 years (switching for the SAT>IP support)
The current “production” setup is Kodi and MythBackend to soften the transition and using their PVR client it automatically groups in the following way:
Recording Group > TV Programme > list of episodes
This is great as we all watch separate TV so we can see “our” programmes by going into the relevant Recording Group. I have quickly grown to love the grouping of TV programmes so I can see very easily the list of episodes that are waiting to be watched (Myth frontend just split out the TV using the Recording Group)
Using Tvheadend and it’s PVR client it appears to group only by “recording directory”. This means my TV will be mixed in with all the kids TV, leaving a long list I need to scroll through.
I have tried a using the directory function of Recording Profiles (was imagining this being similar to “Recording Groups”), and then applying a directory in the DVR AutoRec Entry. I can create the correct structure on disk this way, but this top level doesn’t seem to be passed to the PVR client.
The best way I got was to group our recordings per person using the directory function in the DVR AutoRec.
Am I missing something here, or maybe it doesn’t work this way?
Software is:
Kodi v16 (tried 17)
Tvheadedend (tried both the 4.0.x and 4.1.x versions)
Freesat in the UK (DVBS-2)
Many thanks!
Rob
PS initial impression on Tvheadend is very good, lovely setup and channel scanning, sits happily in a VM!
