LiveTV playback doesn't start

Added by Ivo Grzetic almost 10 years ago

I've noticed strange thing on Kodi (all betas and RCs) using pvr.hts (TVH service (3.4.27) is running on separate server). If I select TV channel on my R-Pi that is already playing for some other client on TVH service - my screen freezes, Upper-right corner show Buffering 0%, and it stays that way as long as I like. Kodi is responsive, so I can press Stop button, and it returns to GUI, or Up/Down and it switches to different channels and starts playing fine. TVH server shows it is streaming to me, I did some sniffing locally, and stream is definitelly comming to the Pi. If I start different TVH client (i.e. VLC on Win) - it plays fine. Tried with Kodi on Android - again same problem, but here it manages to starts every other time?!?!?

Did some downgrading of Kodi on R-Pi - all of the betas are affected together with this RC. Tried with latest stable (Gotham 13.2) and there it works fine - starts streaming even if already streaming the same channel for someone else.

In Kodi debug log, this error pops-up:
40886.496094 T:2720003136 ERROR: ReadPacket - Error demux packet doesn't belong to a valid stream

Tried using pvr.tvh addon from <https://github.com/adamsutton/xbmc-pvr-addons> on R-Pi and problem is solved. No matter what channel I choose - stream starts every time.
