  • Pulse-EIGHT USB CEC adaptor

    Quote from LybsterKodi

    Please tell me how I can control Kodi using a TV remote over TCP/IP.

    Here’s an example of what can be achieved.

    GitHub - Ape/samsungctl: Remote control Samsung televisions via a TCP/IP connection
    Remote control Samsung televisions via a TCP/IP connection - GitHub - Ape/samsungctl: Remote control Samsung televisions via a TCP/IP connection
    github.com

    Do a bit of research based on that concept.

    No doubt you’ve seen the difficulties that surround the whole subject of CEC. It really is hit and miss and not a lot of support with it either. As you can see here there isn’t a huge response to your query.

    I’ve no idea what device you purchased but reading through this it may be suitable for your needs but again you’ll only ever really know when you have it in your hands to test. https://www.pulse-eight.com/p/104/usb-hdmi-cec-adapter

    How many video ports in total does the Dell have. The “worked once but doesn’t work now” scenario sounds like something popped. Again it could be down to bad or incompatible HDMI cables or your TVs HDMI port.

    If Windows 10 still exists on the Dell go down that route first with CEC. The perceived wisdom is CEC is a total pita. Most of the functionality you seem to require from it could be achieved via TCP/IP

    not sure, if this is what you mean, but all these are enabled. I didn't touch profiles during the configuration. This should be the standard.

    Regarding HTSP and HTTP. There is no disabling menu of HTSP in the Kodi TVH client. So I though you might have made a typo and I tried HTTP... So far everything works fine with disabled HTTP.

    Ok. Assuming if you click on the Pass profile it will show the Default box as checked. Is that correct. So that is raw transport stream passed directly to LE unprocessed.

    Now in the LE PVR Client select Configure>Edit Settings>Streaming Settings>Use HTTP streaming for channels. I assume you have this enabled. I also have this enabled in order to play UHD Live TV but paused live TV is no longer available as an option.

    There’s quite a bit of configuration you can play around with in TVH. You can of course leave everything as default.

    It appears that the client doesn’t support paused live TV with HTSP enabled. Try enabling/disabling HTSP in the client and see what results it yields.

    Are you showing any duplicate muxes.

    After deleting muxes, manually add one known active mux, avoid adding predefined muxes, make sure you set TVH to Scan New Muxes only and carry out a scan. That should give you a clean active mux list only and once you map services all those duplicates will disappear.

  • NextPVR add-on issues

    Pleases stop trolling me. I am quite onboard with the Kodi client I told you I am the primary maintainer of pvr.nextpvr and ksooo has been helping me out by adding some features that make the pvr.nextpvr integration better. The author is aware of this thread and he (like I am) are interested in helping all our users and all priorities. There are a lot of users running Kodi on Windows with Windows backends too.

    You’re not being trolled. Just pointing out this is an open source Linux based JeOS project. Nothing to do with Windows yet you constantly refer to it. Users here are not crash test dummies for a commercial product.

    I cannot speak for other users setup but my TVH streams are passed raw and unprocessed directly to LE client without any issues.

    In the spirit of the LE project open source solutions will always be preferred over closed source commercial solutions every time. If you’re in any doubt about that just contact the devs/mods for clarification.

  • NextPVR add-on issues

    Quote from emveepee

    The channel numbers in NextPVR can be whatever you want assuming you ignore Kodi's odd default to use Kodi numbering.

    it looks you have two NOVA and nova. nova on 35 is the one on 498 showing as NOVA here. I am having trouble getting nova on 642 to scan, sub can scan it, his tuners are going to be better than mine.

    Regarding your last comments features in NextPVR need to work in Windows and Linux. Tuning is faster in TVHeadend for digital tuner, I would expect 1 or 2 second tuning in NextPVR for digital tuners. The prime focus in NextPVR is on portability and typically recording not, on Live TV, has been the main user focus. Now with 100's of channels people tend not to zap between channels anyway.

    However my experience is Kodi users do use Live TV a lot. I would expect pvr.hts to be integrated better since the maintainer is also the main developer for Kodi core..

    Note too that the primary client for NextPVR is not Kodi.

    Sorry to interrupt and hate to burst your bubble but Kodi is THE primary client here. If you want adoption on LE you’ll need to take that onboard. You really should invite the author to join this discussion as I suggested before.

  • NextPVR vs TVHeadend

    Quote from emveepee

    I agree (probably better on the NextPVR forum where uploading logs is easier) but at the same time there are a lot of TVH and NextPVR feature and issue comparison in these posts that might help other looking at NextPVR. If the OP doesn't mind we can stay here, certainly more on topic the Win7 warning.

    The reason I say this is you are pitting apples against oranges. A closed source commercial product against an open source project. Yes a user of NPVR is free to use it on a personal basis but it is what it is.

    Best starting a fresh thread under the heading NextPVR. Do bear in mind the author is free to join the discussion if he sees it any differently or wants to clarify the situation.

  • Is it worth buying another 8GB

    Quote from LybsterKodi

    My Dell 3040 arrived today. Is it worth buying another 8GB of RAM to bring it up to its limit of 16GB? I know LE/Kodi will run in a lot less but I don't know if it can make use of the extra.

    I've tried searching the forum but I either get a tsunami of replies or nothing.

    Well if you intend to use the machine for purposes other than Kodi of course. Assuming it came with a decent SSD of 256gb or more that’s one area you’ll notice a marked difference. Both are so cheap these days why not.
