Odroid C2 NPVR Timeshift causes No Tuner Available

1st Official Post

    Enabling Timeshift for Live TV in the NPVR Addon causes a No Tuner Available message. Running LE 8.2.5 on both Odroid C2 and Raspberry Pi 3B/3B+ units. RPi does not have the issue.

    Original incorrect post:

    I just got an Odroid C2 to play around with. I've been using 3B+ units as NextPVR clients.

    The Odroid C2 fails to tune into MPEG2 PVR channels with MPEG2 Acceleration enabled. With it disabled, the CPU is not fast enough to decode a stream.

    Is amcodec/mpeg2 acceleration not fully supported by LE?

    I believe that is a result of KODI trying to use MPEG2 Acceleration when it's not available. If I disable MPEG2 acceleration, that message is not present.

    I have no problems with RPi LE.

    The below is a recording from NextPVR. I've copied it directly to the 'Video' folder on the Odroid and it played normally. Odd. I tried a different PVR Addon to the same CableCard tuners and it plays successfully. This appears to be a NextPVR Addon issue that is specific to the Odroid. I have 2 RaspberryPi 3B+ units and 1 3B using the NextPVR Addon without issue.

    Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. On to a different forum...

    The issue is caused by Timeshift for Live TV which does work on a RPi. Odroid and RPi both running LE 8.2.5.

    Is this likely an issue with the NPVR Addon or LE/KODI?
