no channels showing up since Kodi 17.5 on FireTV #18

I have been using DVBViewer add-on with Kodi 17.4 without any issues. But, after updating to 17.5.1 no channels are showing up. EPG loading and recordings seems to work.

Downgraded to 17.4 and channel list shows up.

Also tried Kodi 18 - same result as 17.5.1: no channels.

Please paste a link to a full debug log. However I'm wondering how you know EPG loading works if there are no channels.

cipher2k commented 7 years ago

not sure if it was EPG or something else, but I have seen in the status message that it was scanning some info from the dvb viewer service and it looked like some channel names appeared. it was very brief though and no channels appeared.

I will try to pull a debug log later.

cipher2k commented 7 years ago

I did a clean install of 17.5.1 and just added and configured the DVBViewer add-on. no success.

mh fav=1 looks wrong. You aren't using any favourites: 22:30:11.668 T:18446744072295184520 DEBUG: AddOnLog: DVBViewer Client: Use favourites: no

manuelm commented 7 years ago

err no, the PVR is always fetching the favourites and ignores them if disabled.

Can you fetch the above url and paste it somewhere please?

cipher2k commented 7 years ago

I did fetch it already. It is the second link.

manuelm commented 7 years ago

ah thanks. looks like your favourites and channels are merged in one group.

yours are like: <root>fav1,fav2,...,ch1,ch2,...</root>

where as mine are: <root>fav1,fav2,...</root><root>ch1,ch2,...</root>

Have to check the docs again.

manuelm commented 7 years ago 
    fav=1 

    lets the API enumerate the favorites at the top of the channel list, also apply to “rootsonly” and “groupsonly” mode, which means, the favorite groups resp. the favorite root are enumerated

I'll check with Griga. Merging those groups seems wrong imho.

cipher2k commented 7 years ago

Ok, in the meantime I have deleted all my favorites (I did not use them anyway). Now, the channels are being shown in Kodi 17.5.1

manuelm commented 7 years ago

Yeah, that works. The PVR is simply skipping the first group if favourites are disabled and the first group contains favourites (first channel number is negative). So in your merged group case all channels are skipped.

note to myself: DMS 2.0.4.0

manuelm commented 7 years ago

So we (the dvbviewer team and myself) have discussed this internally and it looks like a bug in the DMS. However nothing that can easily tracked by reading the source code. So if you can reproduce this behavior again Griga can take a look. In particular he requests generating a support.zip. Additional he requests your channels.dat, ChannelsURL.ini (if created) and favourites.xml file.

cipher2k commented 7 years ago

Ok, you can download all requested files with this zip: http://ciesnik.de/dvbv.zip

manuelm commented 7 years ago

After more discussion Griga said this is expected behavior. You have named your single channel directory Favoriten and favorites are hardcoded to be named Favoriten as well. DMS is merging channel directories with the same name.

I haven't decided if I'll actually fix this bug.

manuelm commented 6 years ago

After even more discussion the next version of DMS will always create an independent channel directory for favourites, regardless of its name. I'll leave this issue open until the version has been released.
