pvr.wmc's Issues

Create release

According to https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.wmc/blob/master/pvr.wmc/addon.xml.in, the current version is 2.0.1. Can you please tag this release?

Releases make things a lot easier for distributions (in my case, Gentoo) to package the add-on.

Thanks!

Please merge p8-platfrom fix to Jarvis branch

As you know kodi Jarvis uses p8-platform instead of platform lib (due to a name change)
this fix was made only in master branch.
Can it be merged into Jarvis branch ?

the relevant commit is this merge of pull request #30

Thank you,
Sagi.

SMB authentication fails if password contains @ character

I've run into this problem multiple times where I can't figure out why the heck the WMC PVR addon for Kodi gives me the "Recorded TV folder not found" error. Then I started created separate users in Windows to access the share.

I finally realized it's because there's an issue with how it builds the smb:// connection string. Since it's typically formatted as "user:password@host". So if your password contains an @, it might look like "user:pass1@@host", and it fails.

Is there a way to fix this so it supports passwords with @ characters in them?

cannot install alongside kodi-pvr-hts

I'm trying to install this add-on in Linux, but there's a (seemingly bogus) conflict with kodi-pvr-hts. Here's how to reproduce:

$ docker run -it --rm ubuntu:bionic
# apt-get update && apt-get -y install software-properties-common
  ...
# add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa && apt-get update
  ...
# apt-get install kodi-pvr-wmc kodi-pvr-hts
  ...
 Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
 requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
 distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
 or been moved out of Incoming.
 The following information may help to resolve the situation:

 The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  kodi-pvr-wmc : Conflicts: kodi-pvr-tvheadend-hts
 E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Upon inspecting the kodi-pvr-wmc package, we see that it conflicts with and replaces kodi-pvr-tvheadend-hts:

But according to this commit, the Conflicts and Replaces lines shouldn't be there.

Does that all make sense? It seems like the PPA has outdated package control information, but I'm not an expert in Debian packaging so I could be misguided.

SMB password revealed in debug log

With debugging logging enabled, the add-on reveals the SMB password when issuing the StreamStartError message. When logging the OpenRecordedStream or OpenLiveStream event, a password safe version of the SMB string is used when available. But later in each method, if the stream fails to open, a StreamStartError message is sent using the unsafe SMB string, revealing the password.
