Anyone else having an issue with Mythtv add-on with OSMC and Krypton v17?
My setup was working flawlessly, skipping commercials etc, under v16.
Ran the upgrade last evening and it went fine. Menu renders a bit slower, and such, but it works.
Playback on mythtv PVR announces a commercial break in the OSD and then freezes playback at that point. You cannot do anything except jump 30 seconds to “un-freeze” playback and it will start again, but obviously the idea would be to jump commercials outright.
I am very convinced this is NOT an OSMC issue, but could use some feedback from fellow MythTV PVR add-on users. Are you experiencing the same problem?
You got further than me! I get listing for my TV channels (which rarely get used because I’m always watching recording from the backend), but when I go to the recordings menu (on side menu now), I get a frozen screen and no recordings ever get listed. Is there a fix for this?
For queries about addons you are much better served by the Kodi forum Kodi Community Forum - Add-on Support or by contacting the add-on developer directly.
… and I’m experiencing it as well. One poster said it’s resolved in Kodi 17.1 rc1. Is there an easy way I can upgrade to that? Or will we see a corresponding OSMC release soon?
Me too. Unfortunately this serioulsy reduces wife acceptance.
Logs don’t show any error in the playback and the video seems to continue without the auto skip (the progress bar just resumes with the clock ticking, but no video/audio output).
Thanks! (as always…) It “looks” like the info to tell the player to jump forward past the break is not happening… It is probably, like others have said, and issue with the player.
Once this is resolved in Kodi, we can get it resolved in OSMC. I understand it may already be fixed. If that’s the case, you should see improvement on Sunday when we release our next update.
Anyways for the interested reader I just created logs showing the behaviour.
This is definately not the case. The player recognizes the .edl file and reads the defined skips on video start. Here I started a video:

Kodi also recognizes the correct start time of a skip and pops up a message a few secconds before. It tries to jump to the end of the skip, too.
Here the 2nd marker is reached: 22:34:51.777 T:1413477360 DEBUG: CheckAutoSceneSkip - Clock in commercial break [00:11:28.920 - 00:18:28.280]: 00:11:28.938.

I’m no developer, but it seems the video after the jump is not loaded correctly. Interestingly enough though you can manually jump to the end of the marker via RC and the video plays just nicely as supposed.
The Kodi forum suggests this bug is already solved in Kodi v17.1 RC1 so the current OSMC should also work. Apparently it doesn’t though.
