jasonwilliams 29 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Hi There, I'm using the latest NPVR plugin (3.0.5569.35335) with most recent NPVR client (3.4.8). Steaming live TV is working but I'm having some difficulty with the Recordings. I have some old recorded TV where the files were manually deleted. I can't seem to remove them from Emby. When I click on them, it shows a status of Error. Also, I can't play back recorded TV on any other Emby client. On Windows phone the recordings show and the player launches, but it just shows a black screen. On the W8.1 client, the recordings show, but clicking on them does nothing. Does anybody have any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikiwi 32 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) To delete the recordings open NPVR/Recordings and delete from there. I have also found the only way to set up series recordings is to do them from NPVR as this option has gone from Emby. Sorry I can't help with your 2nd question as I can play all recordings on my clients and devices. Edited May 10, 2015 by rikiwi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonwilliams 29 Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 Thanks rikiwi, I did actually delete them from NPVR. I noticed a few minutes ago that they have now disappeared from Emby as well. I guess this runs on a schedule. As for the playback, I should add that I can play them using Emby Theater, just not the WP or Windows 8.1 clients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing has happened to series recordings but NextPvr is probably not returning the data required in order to identify that a program can be recorded as a series. You could check with Sven on that. You guys can also try out EmbyTV, it's a new live tv plugin for HDHomerun that doesn't require any external software. It isn't fully mature yet so it might not be for you, but it will remove a lot of the setup from live tv once it's complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikiwi 32 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Thanks Luke I guessed it was a NextPVR issue as series recordings ability was always there when I used ServerWMC. But I switched to NextPVR as I could never get consistent recordings and also to get more prepared for upgrading to Windows 10. EmbyTV looks great but i don't have a HDHomerun tuner as yet.

jasonwilliams 29 Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 Hey Guys, My problem is with playback. The WP and W8.1 clients won't play any recorded TV. Emby Theatre will though. Should I be posting those questions in the client forums? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37113 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Yea. I noticed the issue in 8.1 and passed it along to 7Illusions. I'll mention this to Scott about windows phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37113 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Awesome thanks. While we wait for Scott, can you grab a server transcoding log from a windows phone playback attempt? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottIsAFool 517 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I think playback on Live TV has broken in my app anyway, I will be looking into this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NextPVR's API provides all the info Emby needs to do this. It must just be some shortcoming of the Emby plugin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damstas 9 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Also API provides artwork fetch, etc. It would be good to implement it on the NPVR plugin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven 136 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I know. Feel free to change the code. It's available on github. It's not always possible for me to be online and do some changes... Most people know that, sometimes you will see many replies for me but sometimes you don't see anything from me. I don't gonna explain the full story why. But Luke knows the story and understands the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Luke knows the story and understands the problem. My post atleast wasn't directly targeted toward you. I just made it public that the feature was missing, if someone else who were to develop this plugin would be aware of it. Guess I need to start to learn how to code.
