Today, I installed osmc release 2018.2-1 on a Raspberry Pi 3.
I did install tvheadend from the osmc app store. I was able to configure tvheadend channel list.
After restarting osmc and entering the TV panel, I got “PVRmanager starting up. 0%” for hours.
ps -A shows the TVH process running. When killed, it is restarted autonatically.
Looking thru the log, I see that the TVH HTSP client is trying to connect to TVH but fails be cause of an authorization problem. This happens frequently.
I am not aware to have specified any user/password for the TVH HTSP client, nor do I know what TVH is expecting. I could not find where to specify this.
I must admit not beeing too familiar with kodi, therfore, any help would be greatly apreciated.
In the past I’ve had issues with active timeshift and EPG updates; without asynchronous EPG Transfer active the effect was that the amount of EPG entries shrank from day to day. No idea whether this is meanwhile fixed or not.
Jim, before I switched to TVH, I have been working with VDR instead and had similar experiences regarding drying up of EPG data. However, I am using the JSONRPC interface to get to EPG data. I did also get spurious JSON “Internal Error” messages and assumed that Kodi/VDR was suffering some form of IO errors or data corruption while accessing the EPG data. So I bought myself a new SD card, reinstalled OSMC and started using TVH. Up to now, I have not encountered EPG data dry up.
There are two smartfone/tablet apps, Kodi Remote and Kore, that also access EPG data using the JSONRPC interface. They recovered internally and simply show less program data.
