Allenjs5 3 Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 First of all, just want to say I am loving the beta for watching Live TV -- especially the Guide and the ability to play an in progress recording! These two features are huge to me with live TV and previously the only way I could do that was in Kodi on a cheap Chinese Google TV box I have that doesn't work nearly as well for anything else as my Roku stick. Also I understand the preview is still in early stages so maybe I am just missing how I need to get there for now, but is there any way to get to recordings other than the 50 latest recordings? Like how the original app would group all recordings by show (I have a lot of stuff Ive recorded and am behind on watching). I can't seem to find a way to do that yet so am just wondering if I am just not seeing the option or if the new preview just doesn't have it yet but will eventually? Thanks in advance for all you developers do -- this new preview is amazing and I can't wait to make it my daily interface. -Josh
ebr 16169 Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 Hi. Thanks for the feedback. On the top "Library" row on the home page you should have a "Recordings" library. If you open that, you should see a folder for series and going in there will show you all your recorded series. Do you not have this item in your interface? Also, if you just want a straight list (not grouped by series) of all the recordings, there is a "More..." button at the end of the latest recordings row.
Allenjs5 3 Posted February 4, 2017 Author Posted February 4, 2017 Sorry for the delayed response, just got in from work. Under Library on the main page, I just have Live TV. Clicking on that gives me an "on now" row with the guide option, favorite channels, upcoming movies/sports/series, and then the latest recordings row. No other recordings option. I did figure out the "more" at the end of the latest, but am looking more for the grouped by series (I sometimes like to binge on stuff I've recorded). Thanks in advance! Josh
ebr 16169 Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 Are you using an external service for your live TV?
Allenjs5 3 Posted February 4, 2017 Author Posted February 4, 2017 Yes, mine is set up through NextPVR
ebr 16169 Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 Okay, that's why you don't have a recordings library up top. I'll have to look into what to do for the external services.
Allenjs5 3 Posted February 5, 2017 Author Posted February 5, 2017 Thanks again. If theres any more info or anything you need me to provide just let me know. Thanks again for your hard work!
ebr 16169 Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 Please try bringing up the "Live TV" library view with 1.19.9. I think you will have a new row with your recorded series on it. Since I don't have an external service setup right now, I'll need your help testing this. Thanks .
Allenjs5 3 Posted February 5, 2017 Author Posted February 5, 2017 I do now have a row above "Latest Recordings" that says "Series" -- however, it only is showing 1 of 1, and the icon looks just like a loading circle that says Guide under it and I can't highlight it to select it.

Okay, that means whatever was returned by the query probably was something the app wasn't expecting. I may have to setup an external service of some sort just to figure out what it is. Thanks.
ebr 16169 Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 Actually, I just tried something. Let's see if we get lucky with 1.19.10
Allenjs5 3 Posted February 5, 2017 Author Posted February 5, 2017 Getting closer -- I now have the Series list there. However, each folder shows that it contains one episode regardless of the actual number of episodes there are for that series. Clicking the folder (no matter which folder) just has an entry that says Live TV with the same artwork from the main screen. Clicking on that live TV entry takes me back to the Live TV library view as if I had clicked on Live TV from the home screen.
ebr 16169 Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 If you can give me access to your server remotely, perhaps I can use your installation to get this working properly. You could just create a local ID and then PM me the IP address and user credentials. No hurry though as it is almost SB time and I will be heading out soon .
Allenjs5 3 Posted February 5, 2017 Author Posted February 5, 2017 I think I got it set up right. PM'd you the info. If it doesn't work or I set it up wrong just let me know. More than happy to help. Thanks for all you are doing:)
ebr 16169 Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Okay, I think I have this handled now. Thanks very much for the access it made it much easier to get working properly. You can remove my ID now.
Allenjs5 3 Posted February 7, 2017 Author Posted February 7, 2017 Not a problem, always happy to help
Allenjs5 3 Posted February 7, 2017 Author Posted February 7, 2017 Will do when I get home from work tonight, won't be till about 10:15pm EST tho
