I'm using Eminence 2 on OSMC Jarvis and love it. I just want to make a few minor changes, but unlike other skins, I haven't quite been able to figure out where to make them; the skin files are different than I'm used to. I used the MediaInfo2 view for...

Hi there,
i have a little "problem" (maybe a bug?) with Kodi 17, I´m using RC4 on Windows x86.
My PVR-Manager is DVBViewer Recording Service.

Procedure in Kodi 16 (there it was ok):
- Program a recording (through Kodi or WebInterface of Recording Service)
- while the recording gets recorded (maybe start time at 20:15), start playing the recording (start maybe at 20:30) through Kodi
- I could then watch the whole TV show without stopping the recording (the time bar wasn´t correct, because kodi thought the file is eof (after 15 minutes --> 20:30 - 20:15 = 15), but i could watch the whole show till the end (maybe 22:00)

Procedure in Kodi 17 (broken):
- Program a recording (through Kodi or WebInterface of Recording Service)
- while the recording gets recorded (maybe start time at 20:15), start playing the recording (start maybe at 20:30) through Kodi
- The recording stops playing automatically after 15 minutes (20:30 - 20:15 = 15), because Kodi thinks its eof. but in the meanwhile the file got bigger (because of ongoing recording), but kodi still stops playing.

Can anyone tell me why this happens? Andy mabye has a solution? In my opinion thats really a big issue, because we often program a tv show and want to start watching it maybe 15 minutes later. Then we could watch 15 minutes and the playing stops... :/

Thank you!

Greetings!

I enjoy archiving certain motorsports events..

Let's take the recent Dakar Rally, for instance.

I end up with 13 episodes and various "special" interest files of various sorts.. There's no valid data on thetvdb, so I create a "tvshowslocaldataonly" directory. Set Kodi appropriately, the directory contents are TV Shows, no scraper, local .nfo only.

Okay so far. Now I want to create .nfo files, thumbnails and fan art, etc.. That's all pretty straight forward.

My questions:

1) If I MIX SEASONS in one directory as I often see it, what goes in tvshow.info in terms of tags that relate to season - just leave them out? How would I invoke a "season summary", should I keep every year as it's own season vs. trying to list it as it is, the 38th running of the Dakar Rally (aka season 38)..

2) My info files for this show aren't taking, and I'm sort of stumped as to why not..

My .nfo file looks like this:

When I scan this directory, it "APPEARS" to be working, but then I get nothing in the media database at all, not even an empty TV show.

My CURRENT directory structure is:

$NFS_SERVER:/TV Shows_localdataonly/Dakar Rally/Dakar Rally 2017 (season 38)

All files in bottom dir, "Dakar Rally/Dakar Rally 2017 (season 38)" has all my .nfo, thumbs and fan art..

The LOG FILES (raspberry pi, shared mysql backend) show certain oddities:


and:



Why are we looking for DIRECTORY in the name of the show?

Why, despite setting "content" to local info only, is something saying "Asked to lookup episode".. No, LOCAL FILES ONLY, PLEASE..

I begin to think I need to put everything in it's own directory (show/thumb/nfo), and that CANNOT have an "empty" (nothing but other directories is "empty" to kodi?)..

Anyway, I'm wondering how other folks have dealt with this..

At this point I can get some random stuff to show up in my data base once and a while. Episode 17, with no title, but nothing else.

Episode 17's .nfo file is just like all the rest...



Apologies if this seems a little scattered.. I just think I SHOULD be able to do this in a straight forward fashion, but something is sort of hampering me and I'm having a difficult time figuring what I am doing incorrectly..

Thanks so much for your time!

Sincerely,

-ET-
