ServerWMC crashes when I try watching a recorded show

[heerssimpson 3]

Live TV works. At one point watching recorded shows works. However, for at least 3 months, when I try to watch a recorded show ServerWMC crashes on my computer hosting the server. Attached is the ServerWMC log. Below is the cut and paste of the Emby log. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ServerWMC.1.log

what created these wtv files?

[heerssimpson 3]

what created these wtv files?

MCEbuddy 2.4. Strips the commercials away. ServerWMC looks at the files created by MCEbuddy. Not compatible? 

[krustyreturns 191]

Yeah.  This was discovered recently by someone on the kodi forums too.  Mcebuddy makes a wtv file that is different in format then the ones produced by the windows sbe, and its the sbe format the remuxer in serverwmc assumes.  These must be valid wtv file because wmc/wmp and ffmpeg  think they are, but until I figure out what is different these files don't work.  I actually think these are really the old dvr-ms format but tagged as wtv.  The crash is fixed in the pre-release of serverwmc (http://bit.ly/swmcBeta-1219),  but that only stops the crash.

 

The workaround for you is to go to the 'Http Service' tab in swmc and uncheck 'Use URLs instead of SMB/UNC for Emby-Server'.  After making the change, restart emby server.  You also have to make sure emby has access to the recorded tv folder in this mode.  This is not ideal because in this mode live-tv streams sometimes  stop early.  But until I figure out how to support this mcebuddy format, that's where we are.

 

If you have a smallish (~1GB) wtv file in this format, I'd appreciate it if you could upload it to here (or send me a link I could download it from).

I just have my mcebuddy fiLes dropped into a different "home videos" folder I call recorded tv. It does result in 2 recorded tv folders but the default one has files in it for the short time until they are converted. Not ideal, but that was my solution because I don't keep them in the wtv format and wmc doesn't see those files in the default recorded tv folder once they are converted to a different format.

I fixed this mcebuddy/ffmpeg problem.  You can test it out by downloading a test build from here: http://bit.ly/swmcBeta-1220.  Make sure you set ' Use URLs instead of SMB/UNC for Emby-Server' back to its normal state (which is checked).

 

thanks

Downloaded and tested it. It works like a charm!

[krustyreturns 191]

Great.  thanks for testing so quickly.
