I have this setup and Kodi is able to connect to it and see the channels, but when trying to view a channel it just spins and says "mythtv client unavailable". NextPVR works fine on a windows VM. I extended the timeout and it just spins longer. Any suggestions? I can get logs when back at home.

In the General tab of Myth backend setup, were you sure to set a 4 digit security pin?  I have missed this a few times.  You would also need to set the same pin in the Kodi plugin (default is 0000).

 

When in doubt, turn on debug logging in the kodi plugin and review the log.

disable the pvr client plugin and tv itself in the tv menu of kodi.

reset the pvr database,

reneable the plugin and then reenable the tv.

 

it if gives warning about no clients are started (or something along those lines) renable mythtv plugin again.

I think that this error also occurs if you are not able to write to your timeshift location (called LiveTV in the storage directories).

Storage Directories:

Default: /var/lib/mythtv/

LiveTV: /var/lib/mythtv/livetv/

 

Docker Mappings:

/home/mythtv --> /mnt/cache/docker_configs/myth r,w

/db --> /mnt/cache/docker_configs/myth/db r,w

/var/lib/mythtv --> /mnt/cache/docker_configs/myth/tv r,w

 

I added a livetv directory as I only had the default completed previously. I tried to change the docker mapping to an array drive instead of the cache drive as well. Still getting the same error.

could still be an issue with the mythtv plugin in beta2 of isengard.

Hi John I am using Guacamole from the docker on my unraid - I used your screenie and added my ip and it still wont connect immediate error, I thought ok since i am using the Guac from my unraid maybe it wants the local of 127.0.0.1 and still errors... what the heck!  it would be nice if Guac would give a reason why it cannot connect....

I was trying to get mythtv up today and couldn't get past this point either, so you're not alone.
