VDR Issues

Dear all,

I have installed Openelec 8.0.4 incl. Kodi 17.3 on my RPI3 and installed VDR backend, frontend and activated several plugins (e.g. live, streamdev, egp).

Now what I can do is watching TV via the Kodi frontend but what I cannot do is the following:

1. Changing channel sorting via Kodi frontend; whenever I am saving all my changes done, there is a progress bar, no error. But when I then switch over to TV still the same order of channels appear. It is purely not saving my changes. Do you have any recommendation how to change the channel order instead?

2. I have installed iVDRclient on my iPhone because I wanted to stream live TV to my mobile. I can connect and see the channels including EPG, but when I start streaming regardless which channel I get the following error message: “Request for stream timed out. Access not possible. mkdir: can’t create directory ‘/home’: read-only file system.” I am not even sure which home directory is meant? Is it from the mobile phone for intermediate storage of stream data or is it from the RPI3 where VDR backend is running?

3. If I want to record a TV movie I can select for recording via iVDRclient and what I see after the event is that there is a file, of very low size, under “/storage/videos” (I guess this is the request of recording and not the movie payload itself); furthermore I do not see and folder like “/storage/videos/recordings”?! Also via the app I cannot see any finished recordings.

Do you have any ideas on these topics? Maybe you also have a recommendation for reading so that I can help myself. Unfortunately I couldnt’ find a lot of material for my problems.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Stefan
