Getting Help / Lost autoskip function after i...

Last post by Phil-F - May 06, 2024, 11:45:14 PM

Autoskip was working when I installed 1.11.6 but since I installed 11.6.2 autoskip does not work anymore for any recordings. When I go to LibreELEC/About the version shown is 11.6.2. Has anyone else had this issue? Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?

Are we any closer to getting the images for programmes as many of them are still blank. At least all Movies should have an image majority do but there are still some that don't. This is the current view of my Emby and you can see the ones that don't have an image have text only.

I think this is more an issue for Emby than IceTV.

Getting Help / Re: subtitles by default

Last post by raymondjpg - May 06, 2024, 05:47:59 PM

In prior generation of LibreELEC *.ts files sometimes played closed captions. On a slightly different issue, the current build is better at isolating the closed captions, it is just in the case of *.ts the play refuses to show them.

It's possible earlier generations of LibreELEC / Kodi displayed subtitles, either in Live TV or recorded TV .ts files, and I suggested a year or so ago that it may have been a re-engineering of Kodi Nexus that might have changed that.

But hey, the main message is that subtitles can be enabled/disabled by default in IceBox, or individually for Live TV channels and/or recordings (matroska format) or videos (including those which do not have subtitles embedded in a matroska container, but do have an associated srt file), by setting the subtitle language under Player in Kodi settings.

I gather from Delta Mike Charlie that there is (still) active development taking place of the TVHeadend add-on.

Not sure why closed captions are not working with *.ts; my recollection is that it is a known problem - it is not a TVHeadend problem but a Kodi problem (if I recall correctly).

.........
As a matter of interest, for anyone using the IceBox as a media player for files not generated by IceBox, subtitles are also displayed for mkvs with embedded subtitles using the IceBox player, and even for other video files where there are external subtitle files present.

I have also played recording from my Beyonwiz that I converted to *.mkv on my IceBox. In prior generation of LibreELEC *.ts files sometimes played closed captions. On a slightly different issue, the current build is better at isolating the closed captions, it is just in the case of *.ts the play refuses to show them.

There are 80 pages of entries for the Kodi TVHeadend PVR section in the Kodi forum going back to 2011, so it's not as if someone just discovered it. The thread I referred to, and perhaps what Delta Mike Charlie was talking about, was Tvheadend - The Saga Continues, where the opening statement dated 6 February 2024 states "... after too many years of bumping along in maintenance mode, a few folks have got together and made the effort to "reboot" the Tvheadend project. We're still very short of active developers and dedicated focus, but we've made a start.

The issue with .ts files is probably academic for most IceBox users who will be satisfied with the matroska format output for TV recordings. As you say, my conclusion is that it is a Kodi-wide issue.

As a matter of interest, for anyone using the IceBox as a media player for files not generated by IceBox, subtitles are also displayed for mkvs with embedded subtitles using the IceBox player, and even for other video files where there are external subtitle files present.
