Black Screen & No Audio on NVIDIA Shield ATV with PT

I'm trying out Krypton on an NVIDIA Shield Android TV and I appear to be having some issues with audio. I've tried Beta 3 and latest nightly build. Both behave the same way. When PT is enabled there is no video, just black screen, and no audio output....

Scraping recorded TV-Shows – extend TVDB Scraper – get function calls right

Already spent days to get this working: I got a local PVR to record Movies and TV shows. For recorded movie files I was already successful scraping them with the information my PVR gives me by calling its XML-API - with the TV shows I still fail and I now hope somebody can help me.

I thought the task would be simple: Just make a HTTP-Call to the PVR API, get the TVDB-ID there for the file to be scraped, and then go on with the regular TVDB-scraper using this ID. So mainly just modifying the functions "CreateSearchUrl" or maybe also "GetSearchResults".

Yet the main problem I have is calling a function in the right way to do this TVDB-ID lookup. I tried many ways - two of them are shown below.

What I was still not able to figure out is how to call a function in the right way. My main questions are:

  1. When I use a function to get some XML-file from another site - how do I trigger to really GET the content from those sites? At what point of the execution of the scraper are URLs realy evaluated? My log files suggests that this is not triggered just calling a function - they mainly just extend the URLs and make them richer with code.
  2. Do I need to enclose the results of a function with any XML-tags? Mostly all of the code sample put the results between <details> and </details> - but why? Why "details" and could I also use "url" for example. I don't understand how this is used. I just noticed that if I don't use any enclosing tags at all the function simple doesn't show up being executed in the log file.

So this is my code ...

First try - extend CreateSearchUrl to call the PVR API to get the TVDB-ID and then pass it on regularily to GetSerachResults:
Code:
<CreateSearchUrl dest="3">
    <RegExp input="$$1" output="<chain function="GetTVDBIdFromEpisode">\1</chain>" dest="5">
        <expression >(?:%20| |_)([]0-9]+)(?:\.ts|$)</expression>
    </RegExp>
    <RegExp input="$$5" output="<url>http://thetvdb.com/api/GetEpisode.php?id=\1&amp;language=$INFO[language]</url>" dest="3">
        <expression noclean="1" />
    </RegExp>
</CreateSearchUrl>

<GetTVDBIdFromEpisode dest="3">
    <RegExp input="$$4" output="<details>\1</details>" dest="3">
        <RegExp input="$$1" output="<url function="ParseTVDBIdFromEpisode">http://10.0.0.1:8081/record.onexml?id=\1</url>" dest="4">
            <expression />
        </RegExp>
        <expression noclean="1" />
    </RegExp>
</GetTVDBIdFromEpisode>

<ParseTVDBIdFromEpisode dest="5">
    <RegExp input="$$1" output="<details>\1</details>" dest="5">
        <expression><t_thetvdbid>([0-9]+)</t_thetvdbid></expression>
    </RegExp>
</ParseTVDBIdFromEpisode>

Not working - both the API call and the function ParseTVDBIdFromEpisode are working, but the result is not passed on to the top. So the value for the ID to be used in CreateSearchUrl is finally empty.

Code:

23:15:30 T:1826356112   DEBUG: scraper: GetSearchResults returned <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?><results></results>

Second try - extend the function GetSearchResults to make the API-call:

Code:
<CreateSearchUrl dest="3">
    <RegExp input="$$1" output="<url>http://10.0.0.1:8081/record.onexml?id=\1</url>" dest="3">
        <expression noclean="1">(?:%20| |_)([]0-9]+)(?:\.ts|$)</expression>
    </RegExp>
</CreateSearchUrl>

<GetSearchResults dest="8">
    <RegExp input="$$5" output="<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" standalone="yes"?><results><entity>\1</entity></results>" dest="8">
        <RegExp input="$$1" output="<title>\1</title>" dest="5">

        </RegExp>
        <RegExp input="$$1" output="<url cache="tt\1.xml" function="GetTVDBIdFromEpisode">http://thetvdb.com/api/GetEpisode.php?id=\1&amp;language=$INFO[language]</url>" dest="5+">

        </RegExp>

</GetSearchResults>

<GetTVDBIdFromEpisode dest="3">

        <expression><seriesid>([0-9]+)</seriesid></expression>
    </RegExp>
</GetTVDBIdFromEpisode>

Still not working - the API function call is not done during execution of GetSearchResults. Instead the whole code for calling the function is passed on to the function "GetDetails" and there it is not working.
