@deanjo, this one is for you and anyone else running nextpvr.

@deanjo, this one is for you and anyone else running nextpvr.

I haven't had any more problems with NextPVR after that time it wouldn't set a recording. You saw the logs for that.

This new build seems to work just fine too.

[deanjo]

Will test when I get home.

So far looking good, been running for 40 minutes and still going. Never made it this far with the previous version.

[deanjo]

Still going, think you have it licked. I'll watch the rest of the night and let you know tomorrow if the issue is still there.

[deanjo]

Well it is pretty solid, however it still dies occasionally, do not think it is related the previous issue. Is there a way I can put advancesettings.xml in tvOS so that I can adjust the PVR settings so that I can increase the cache levels?

[deanjo]

May I suggest adding the following pvr settings in the gui that is found in advancedsettings.xml?

Code: Select all

<pvr>
  <minvideocachelevel>10</minvideocachelevel> 
  <minaudiocachelevel>10</minaudiocachelevel> 
  <cacheindvdplayer>true</cacheindvdplayer>
  <lingertime>60</lingertime>
</pvr>

[davilla]

None of those are present in the code base anymore except lingertime

MrMC v2.0 uses AE/17 along with player changes.

exactly what are you trying to tweak in response to what effect you see ?

[deanjo]

I'm trying to increase the buffer before resuming playback. I had this issue with an older version of Kodi where it would start playing for few seconds after buffering, then it would stop, then buffer up again before it gained a steady stream. I'm trying to eliminate the play, pause, play, behaviour.
