XBMC, With MediaPortal 1.3, No Live Stream

Post by 0dysseus » Thu Apr 11, 2013 2:18 pm

Hello, I was hoping some might have some advice. I'm running the latest XBMC and using Argus with MP. Everything altogether seems fine. MP has live and plays recordings. XBMC plays recordings and imports all EPG data fine, but I cannot play any live TV. It is the only problem I'm having. It did used to play live, I think the last time it did was using Eden. With three different pieces of software I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this. I thank you in advance for any help here.
Win7 Ultimate SP1 64 Bit, MP 1.3 w/ Argus 2.1 RC, XBMC Nightly 08-Apr-2013, Intel i5 2500k, ASRock P67 Extreme4, Gigabyte GV-N460OC-1GI GTX 460, Hauppauge Colossus (2), HP w2007 20.1" LCD (Primary), Dynex DX-46L260A12 46" 1080p LCD (Secondary)

Are you experiencing the same problem mentioned here: viewtopic.php?f=60&t=4037?

There is a clumsy kind of solution to get it working, but it does not really solve the problem. And until I can somehow reproduce it, there is no easy way to find the root cause of this.

Has there been any progress with this issue?
I've just setup a new htpc with mediaportal v1.3 (server and client), argus 2.1 using mp tv server tuners.
This is all working fine.

I've also got an apple tv2 with xbmc 12.2 and the argus pvr client enabled.
It connects the server fine and gets epg etc but when I try start live tv it just sits with the Working spinning icon at the bottom right and gets stuck there.
Only way to get out of it is to reset the atv2.
If I look at the mp tv server the channel has started streaming so not sure what's going on.

Maybe in xbmc you have to use the mediaportal client plugin.

I'm using the Media Portal TV Server as a backend for the Scheduler, and it's working fine through XBMC. I actually have both a MP and Argus backend. The former is so I can use a Haupauge HD-DVR to record stuff from my cable box. The latter does all the unencrypted channels. I suspect some log files would help.
