Thank you

Not sure. What device and kodi version?

Make sure you are using https, so the entry should read https://kodi.getchannels.com.

I was running Kodi 18.9. Just installed 19.2 on windows and successfully installed the addon. Thank you for your help.

Please try upgrading your DVR server to latest prerelease and see if the kodi addon is able to timeshift in-progress recordings any better.

I am right clicking the repo and it isn't updating to the new version?

Channels2021 · October 13, 2021, 2:09am

Which version of the add-on? v2021.10.5 or v2021.10.12

tmm1 · October 13, 2021, 2:13am

It's an update for the server

Channels2021 · October 13, 2021, 2:50am

I didn't notice any difference.
With the default Kodi skin, I only get the option to stop. No pause, FF/REW, skip, ect.

I'm on Server 2021.10.13.0312, and both my Shields and my PC can timeshift live TV. I tested both OTA and TVE. Both worked fine.

Channels2021 · October 13, 2021, 3:38pm

Timeshifting live TV has been working a few weeks now, with a few bugs along the way, that have been sorted out.

Timeshifting live recordings will hopefully be added. Here is an example I posted last week. This is with NextPVR. It doesn't seem that Kodi will limit this so hopefully this feature can be added.

muzicman0 · October 13, 2021, 3:40pm

oh, I missed that it was an active recording. Doh!

LAdams · October 13, 2021, 3:42pm

I still cannot time shift a recording in progress.

Channels2021 · October 13, 2021, 3:50pm

It would be great if I didn't have to use the web ui for that and could use Kodi exclusively. The web player is OK but is a bit cumbersome going between that and Kodi. Kodi is more solid for shows that has already been recorded and live TV.

muzicman0 · October 14, 2021, 12:18am

Totally agree, While I wouldn't want to lose the web UI, if I could, I would do 95% of my management through Kodi.

I know someplace earlier in this thread it was mentioned that there was a lot to implement Timers, so I am just curious if that is planned? Right now you can't add a timer. Or at least it doesn't appear that you can.

Channels2021 · October 18, 2021, 8:26pm

Do you mean a timer for a channel without guide data or something different. Why is this important to you?

muzicman0 · October 18, 2021, 8:40pm

no, I mean creating a timer from scratch. For instance, the new show '4400', I want to be able to create a timer for it without searching the guide. Just by clicking the 'create timer' button. Think of it similar to an advanced subscription in the Channels Web UI.

This would also allow me to edit existing timers, I would assume. I haven't actually tried doing that, but I assume it won't work currently.
