IPTV changes after 20131228?

Added by ruud - almost 11 years ago

Hi, happy new year everybody :)
last year (28th december) I upgraded my tvheadend setup from 3.4 to the at that time latest github version (master)
Everything was running fine!
Yesterday I saw a tweet mentioning to upgrade asap due to a NULL pointer exception, so i repeated the steps I did to upgrade but this time to no avail...
Just tried it again with the lastest master but still no go :(

I am using IPTV only: all my channels are gone, I cannot add channels (not sure how). So probably between 28th december and januari 1st there are some changes (in the UI) but I cannot determine what these changes are (not in commits?)

If somebody can clearify if it is already possible to use IPTV and if so how, I would be very thankfull :)
regards,
Ruud.

I'm slightly confused not much has changed since 28/12, but if you're dates are wrong and you actually had something from much longer ago, say pre DVB rewrite merge, then you should read:

Thanks Adam,
It was definitely from pre-DVB rewrite (last update april 2012). Not sure what commit triggered it to fail.
Will give the migrate script a go, or will do a complete fresh install: have some spare time due to holidays :))))
Thanks for your support!
Will check back if I run into other strange things.
regards,
Ruud.

Hi,
conversion script didn't work, probably because of old version of python on my system.
Did a complete reinstall and got everything working again!
So far so good.

Got one strange thing:

when I start a recording the filename of the recording in Ubuntu is 'scrambled', in XMBCbuntu it displays correct...

the filename produced in ubuntu is: ZEOUVZ~6.TS

I have never had this problem before, is there a setting that I missed to configure or is this by default?
The network drive that holds the recording is mounted as cifs (same as on xbmc system)

Any pointer are welcome!
thanks,
Ruud.

Never mind, found it.... it was due to 'unsafe characters in filename' > the ":" in this case :)
