Version 5 from the repo is not working with JF 10.7-rc1 and the latest unstable from today

[Nickbert7]

I cannot start any live tv playback on JF 10.7-rc1 and the latest unstable server of today with the plugin version 5 from the repo.

OS: Win 10 Server Version: 10.7-rc1 and Unstable (jellyfin_20201222.3-unstable) Client: Web/Chrome 87

The guide data is filled so the connection to the npvr backend should be fine.

This is the error I get on the unstable server:

I was able to reproduce this on Debian 10, with the 10.7-rc1, using Firefox.

This message is from the server it is not clear why this is being raised as a plugin issue but the server developers will not look into it so I am expecting this to fail. Unless you hear from @joshuaboniface or other senior team members no further action on the addon is planned. as the issue is being ignored. It's a shame really that such a breaking change was approved on the server with no respect for you users especially as jellfyin looked like such a promising platform.

It is not just Live TV Recordings also fail with a different error. Someone may wish to create a separate issue for that.

I am sorry. Please use 10.6.4 with my unofficial add should continue to work .

Such toxic, demanding and childish behaviour during the holidays (and frankly any other time) seems entirely unwarranted.

I understand the frustration, but we're all volunteers and it's a busy time.

10.7 is also not a stable release. Bugs are expected and are being addressed during the release candidate stage.

[emveepee]

Sorry I just was hoping to get this looked into for the users, since I don't know how to fix the server. I tried asking on Matrix and was completely dismissed without cause and no one else was standing up for users.

Recordings still remain broken after the patch and I stand by my comment that this was released too early to be called release candidate. Perhaps I misunderstood your naming conventions and it could be alpha or beta in other projects.

[emveepee]

Sorry I don't understand you confusion. My understanding on release candidate is it is considered nearly ready for release and stable for testing. Users can't even use this because of server side issues

I am really glad this issue was resolved on behalf of the users. I volunteer to code this too and I don't even use jellyfin.

If a user user opens another issue on the recordings not playing I am not sure how to respond now since again I don't see it is a plugin issue either unless there is an undocumented change in the API.

As we don't use the NextPVR plugin at all, feel free to open another issue for recordings not working as this is not something I have the ability to test.
