DVR playback

[markcs]

I downloaded the latest develop build from here: http://jenkins.macinnes.ie/job/android-tvheadend/job/develop/

I enabled the DVR Support (I know it says not to do this!) and I see the recordings which is great. However, when I try to play the recording, I just get a blank screen. Nothing actually starts playing.

I can confirm that I can play the recorded file through the TVH web interface. Is this a known limitation of the develop build, or something with my setup?

I see playWhenReady:true playbackState:idle window:0 in the debug text view.

I've got the same issue, it won't let me playback anything recorded unless it was recorded when live channels was running and I just switched to the recorded tv; coming back in later presents a blank screen.

I've also got the issue that FFW/RW will not work, it states unsupported but pause / play and full skip to start or end is fine.

This happens because of an mediaExtractor/codec issue in code.

You can try to use a streaming-profile for recordings in tvheadend.

FFW/RW are not implemented now.

Hm, I must be doing something wrong. My screen also looks different as I'm using HTS Tvheadend 4.3.

Anyway, I created a recording profile (called 'recording') in TVHeadend, which I think was the same as yours. In the android-tvheadend app, I set the same profile name (recording) in the HTSP Stream Profile.

When I select to play the recording, I do not see anything in the TVHeadend logfile.

Ideas? Thanks

EDIT:
I forgot to change the Stream Profile used in the 'Recording; -> Digital Video Recorder Profiles' section. All good now.

Thanks!

Thats it! You need to change it there too - no need for changing htsp profile in Live Channels app.

I also recommend to use stable build of tvheadend (4.2.5.) for use with live channels app.

On the dev build can you start/schedule a recording from the live channels application? Sony forgot/didn't impliment native DVR capabilities for their North American Bravia models and I was looking for solutions around this.
