Scraping artist MBID (PR#12120)

I have a concern about the PR as relates to scraper adding Artist MBID to the music database. Currently, Musicbrainz has the idea of artist alias, which isn't implemented in Kodi database. As a result, it is possible that user tags include an artist ...

watched TV show disappeared

Would like to watch TV show again, but it disappeared after watching. Can I get it back? In fact three of the four episodes I watched disappeared. Any suggestions? (Please dumb down any suggestions.)

Thank you

Hi Admin not sure where to put this so please place it when it needs to go. Dear Developers, Just wanted to say a big thank you for the work you do on Kodi/xbmc I get the impression that you are disheartened by the misuse of your work and misrepresen...

NextPVR PVR client no longer starts

Hi All -

Last fall I was happily using three Windows 10 systems (two 64 bit & one 32 bit) as media centers (primarily for watching live or time-shifted TV) using the then current version of Kodi with NextPRV.

About the time of the Anniversary Update things started to get flaky and continued downhill from there. For the last month or so all three systems report “PVR Addon couldn't be loaded" so I’m now unable to use the “TV” part of Kodi. A screenshot of this error is posted at http://kodi-npvr.mugobeer.com/Images/npvr_error.png .

Along the way I’ve tried many different versions of Kodi, and done complete removal/reinstallations of both Kodi and NextPvr but nothing has helped.

I've uploaded the logfile w/ debug enabled to http://paste.ubuntu.com/24625893/ and the system information is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/24626076/.

(Please note: This is not an intermittent thing. A system would be running fine for many days and then suddenly just quit working.!)

If anyone has any ideas how I might fix this, please let me know. Also please let me know what other information might be helpful.

Thanks in advance,

Mugobeer (aka Dave)

TVH 4.2 can’t enable timeshift, menu empty

Have just set up LibreELEC with TVH 4.2 on a RPi3. TVH is getting channels and EPG just fine. Only problem now is I can't enable timeshifting, the menu page is empty except for the Enable checkbox. Checking it and hitting Save goes back to unchecked. N...

Strange json-rpc api behavior

I'm attempting to start a movie from the beginning, remotely using curl in bash.

my code looks like:

Code:
curl -m 10 -s -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Player.Open", "params": { "options":{ "resume":false }, "item": { "movieid": '"$movie_id"' } }, "id": 1 }' http://10.0.0.50:8080/jsonrpc

$movie_id being the id of the movie of course.

Even though resume option is "false" the movie ALWAYS resumes.

The only way I could get it to start from the beginning was by a fluke copy and paste:

Code:
curl -m 10 -s -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Player.Open", "params": { "options":{ "resume":false }, "item": { "movieid": '"$movie_id"' } }, "id": 1 }' http://10.0.0.50:8080/jsonrpc  curl -m 10 -s -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Player.Open", "params": { "options":{ "resume":false }, "item": { "movieid": '"$movie_id"' } }, "id": 1 }' http://10.0.0.50:8080/jsonrpc

Having the code doubled (I pasted one too many times whoops) resumes the movie for a split second and then goes to the beginning.

I'd rather not have to rely on what seems to be an error to start movies like this. Any help or recommendation would be appreciated..

Audio skipping

Hi,

I am having a problem with my kodi which just started today, yesterday is was working perfectly. No matter what i stream whether it is a tv show or movie the audio skips every few seconds. The video continues but the audio cuts out for a second, it's like a hiccup or a stutter. I have tried a full kodi uninstall and reinstall but the same thing is happening. I am using krypton on a windows 10 tablet and just playing through the tablet so no possible HDMI issues or external hardware issues etc. The only thing that i have done today is download itunes which has maybe changed something in the audio settings somewhere?

I have been looking at old threads and found this suggestion but i don't know how or where to implement it?


1 make sure that the variable DPRIORITY is set to no in /etc/default/xbmc
2 1. is not enough to turn of DP completely. Unfortunately, kodi.bin will be launched with priority 49 and it will newer changed later. So, to turn it completely off you have to modify the file /etc/init/xbmc.conf. Please change the line exec schedtool -R -p 49 -e sudo -u $USER -g $GROUP -s $DAEMON $DAEMON_ARGS $DAEMON_LIRC $DEBUG 2>&1 | grep -v ES30 || : to sudo -u $USER -g $GROUP -s $DAEMON $DAEMON_ARGS $DAEMON_LIRC $DEBUG 2>&1 || :

Reboot and see if it helps you too.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
