Can you try toggling the automatically skip commercials setting off and back on (under addons > channels > settings) and see if that fixes live stream?

DetroitTV · October 2, 2019, 10:17pm

I toggled auto skip off and on. No live TV on Nvidia Shield.
I'll try the Fire stick later.

tmm1 · October 2, 2019, 10:25pm

Tested this one on my SHIELD:

DetroitTV · October 2, 2019, 10:30pm

Oops. I didn't notice new version 2019.10.02.2024.
I installed it and live tv works after toggling, but I'm seeing some pixelization.

DetroitTV · October 2, 2019, 10:35pm

I installed 2019.10.02.2219.
I didn't toggle auto skip and live TV worked, but some pixelization.

Edwin_Perez · October 2, 2019, 11:07pm

Working but I am also seeing penalization and pausing ....

DetroitTV · October 2, 2019, 11:12pm

Same on Fire TV 4K. Working but pixelization.

Edwin_Perez · October 2, 2019, 11:15pm

I am seeing this error... Recordings play fine no pixelation

I also see in the View Options panel when in recordings ,,, the recordings count is 0 and you cannot toggle between all and unwatched.

tmm1 · October 2, 2019, 11:59pm

It seems to work if you uncheck Group Items.

Do those work even when Group Items is enabled with other PVR addons?

Edwin_Perez · October 3, 2019, 12:25am

It works then but I thought that behavior would be the same as in the regular TVShow section where even if grouped it still works...

Also timers are still not working ...

Does anyone familiar with the Kodi Trakt plugin know why it may not scrobble the Channels DVR recordings? I unchecked all the settings in the plugin that seem relevant (there are some that say not to scrobble from http, Live TV, etc.).

Other than those I am not sure what to do to make it do that. It is one thing that using Kodi would be an advantage for me.

Lunatixz · October 3, 2019, 4:09pm

PVR backend needs to supply season/episode meta in order for trakt.tv plugin to scrobble.

tmm1 · October 3, 2019, 6:14pm

We are setting iSeriesNumber/iEpisodeNumber. Is there something else required?

Lunatixz · October 3, 2019, 7:29pm

Yep, that's the correct tags, I'm reviewing trakt source and spotted a possible issue. I'll create a PR to address the problem.

::Update::

jay343 · October 3, 2019, 10:47pm

I am getting a noticeable audio delay when viewing live TV in Kodi, but not when using the Channels app itself. I have your most recent release installed, and have noticed this on both a 4k Fire TV stick and a standard Fire TV stick.

Edwin_Perez · October 4, 2019, 6:50pm

For you Plex Kodi Channels DVR users ... I Put my Channels DVR libraries into Plex ... I then use Plex Connect along with this plugin and Kodi brings it all together. For the skin I use Embuary. I need to be able to use user profiles so Plex fills the void.

PVR Section ....

Info when Viewing ...

timstephens24 · October 5, 2019, 4:35pm

Anything I could do to help get it on my main Kodi device (aarch64)? The armhf build for the unofficial HDHomeRun PVR https://forum.silicondust.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=88&t=71135 works with it.

tmm1 · October 5, 2019, 6:24pm

That's helpful. I'll try to generate some builds using the same compiler next week.
