Hello I am having a problem with the ArgusTV add on for kodi.
The problem is that through the TV menu nothing will play. The guide is visible, recording notifications come through, program and recording information is available, but neither live TV or recordings will play. If you try to play a recording it simply appears to time out. If I access the TV recordings through the Video menu (I.E. direct SMB share) then they play fine, so there isn’t a permissions error. The ArgusTV Plugin is configured with the TV Sever IP address.
I have tried current versions of OSMC on two different hardware and the problem is the same;
- Vero 4K,
- RPi 3+.
Using other forms of Kodi does not have this problem
There are no playback issues for;
- Libreelec on the RPI for kodi versions 17 (17.6?) and 18,
- Kodi on Windows 10 for Kodi versions 17.4 and 17.6 (as both normal install and Windows Store App on two separate computers) or,
- Kodi on Android for kodi versions 17 (17.6?) and 18.
This leads me to think that the issue is in some modification that is made in creating OSMC. I’ve asked this question on the ArgusTV forum
The Vero 4K is superior to RPI 3’s due to greater graphics performance. Fast Forward and Rewind (not skip steps) works as expected. On RPI (libreelec) Fast Forward and Rewind isn’t usable as there is no video display. This is deal breaker for the wife unfortunately.
Is there a specific LOG that I need to capture to investigate this?
I have a log to supply from the Vero 4k with current OSMC install, but I don’t have the upload URL from OSMC I’m sorry.
I’ve found the bit below in the logs which I thought interesting.
