Installatie & Handleiding t.b.v. ServerWMC (PVR WMC)

1) De installatie van ServerWMC Zorg er éérst voor dat Windows MediaCenter hélemaal geconfigureerd is; ● De map t.b.v. TV-Opnamen is gespecificeerd en zorg er voor dat deze map “gedeeld” wordt ● De locatie t.b.v. de TV buffer is ingesteld (Instellingen/TV/Recorder/Opslag voor recorder) ● De Tuner(s) zijn geconfigureerd ● TV-kanalen zijn gescand en op een “persoonlijke” volgorde gezet ● Je kunt Live-TV kijken Installer PVR WMC op het moment dat bovenstaande in orde is. Na de installatie wordt er een snelkoppeling aangemaakt achter; Startmenu/ServerWMC/ServerWMC Start ServerWMC en controleer en configureer de app. Meer info over elk tabblad vindt u hieronder (in het Engels) terug.

Tip: ServerWMC ondersteunt de meeste van de WMC configuratie instellingen inclusief enable/disable kanalen, aangepaste kanaal opdrachten / kanaalvolgorde en aangepaste kanaal iconen. Deze instellingen moeten worden geconfigureerd in WMC (niet XBMC)

2.2 General Start when Windows starts - Starts ServerWMC when the user logs on to Windows. Unless you have a need to start the server manually at login, this option should be enabled. Startup minimized - Minimizes ServerWMC to the Task Bar upon startup. Minimize to system tray - Sends ServerWMC to the System Tray when minimized instead of the Task Bar. o Close box minimizes to system tray - Causes ServerWMC to minimize to the system tray when the red 'X' is clicked instead of closing the program. Suspend system sleep mode when clients are online - Prevents PC running ServerWMC from entering sleep mode (if enabled) if any clients are connected. o Suspend sleep even if only client online is MediaBrowser-Server - Prevents PC running ServerWMC from entering sleep mode (if enabled) if MB3Server is running on the host PC regardless of other client status. Port number for client connection - Specifies the port on which the pvr.wmc plug-in will communicate with ServerWMC. The default port is 9080. Unless you have another program communicating on this port, there is no reason to change from default. Again, if you were not prompted when launching ServerWMC or you chose to decline, make sure this port is open in your firewall software before continuing.

2.3 Folders •

Path to local 'RecordedTV' folder (from WMC) - Displays the path of the folder where recordings will be stored. This path is specified in WMC under Tasks/Settings/TV/Recorder/Recorder Storage and is not editable from ServerWMC. If you have other clients on the network, this folder should be shared and specified below. Enter the network share path to this folder, this is required for remote clients: The smb address of the folder specified above. It is advised to test this address from another machine to make sure it is accessible remotely before continuing. Watched 'Recorded TV' folders (from WMC): If additional folders are specified as 'watch folders' within WMC, their paths will be displayed here. Use Credentials for non-windows clients - If the folder specified above requires a user name and password for access, please enter the credentials here. o User Name - SMB user name for the shared folder o Password - SMB password for the shared folder

Note: With non-Windows based clients, user:pass credentials are typically needed even when the Windows share is shared with "Everyone".

2.6 Live TV Set the maximum run time of a Live TV stream Enable prime viewing time o Start o End Only remux this language to output (if available) - Instructs ServerWMC to only include the specified audio language in the stream sent to XBMC. For information on locating the codes available in your stream, please see Locating audio stream codes. We have reason to believe (though not confirmed) these codes follow the ISO 639-2 standards. Confirmed valid codes for this field are as follows: o eng = English o ger = German o spa = Spanish o dut = Dutch

2.9 Record Niets wijzigen…………..

2.10 Debug Server Version: - Displays the version of ServerWMC installed followed by the names of clients connected and the version(s) of pvr.wmc respectively. Keep a log file - Checking this box will cause ServerWMC to output important troubleshooting information to a log file. It is highly recommended this box be checked. o Current log - Opens the log file for the current ServerWMC session in Notepad. o Last run's log - Opens the log file for the previous ServerWMC session in Notepad. o Service log - Opens log file for ServerWMC if it is being run as a service. Delete temporary stream files - When switching to a channel, it automatically starts recording. This information is stored in a temporary file to allow for time shifting. When checked, these files will be deleted when changing channels. Remux the playback of all WTV files - By default, only live streams are remuxed to TS before being sent to the client. This option enables remuxing of pre-recorded files as well. Raspberry Pi users have reported issues with playing large pre-recorded WTV files. If you are experiencing issues with viewing recorded TV, please try enabling this option.

Note: If you are having issues and need to request assistance in the XBMC forums, it is mandatory to provide a copy of the log files!!! They contain important information that is instrumental in diagnosing issues and recommending solutions. Please copy the contents of the file to pastebin and include the link in your post. Posting of log files directly to forum threads is strictly prohibited per the rules of the XBMC Forums.

3) Troubleshooting / FAQ •

Can I record to a network share, NAS drive, etc.? - Unfortunately no. This is not supported by WMC. Recordings must be saved to a drive connected directly to the PC running WMC. This is done because if there is a glitch in the network connection while recording, it will corrupt the entire recording rendering it unwatchable.

Note: Advanced users can attempt to "trick" WMC into thinking a local drive is being used, using methods such as linking the recorded TV folder to a network location with a NTFS directory junction (aka symlink) or presenting a drive from their NAS using ISCSI. In both cases WMC believes it is recording to a local drive, however the drive/files actually are located on a network device.

4) Known Issues •

Upgrading from Windows 8 to 8.1 - When upgrading from 8 -> 8.1, it is necessary to re-install ServerWMC.

5) Verbinding van ServerWMC naar XBMC Voor elke streamer gebaseerd op de RaspBerry Pi geld: Voordat te TV functies binnen XBMC kunnen worden aangesproken MOET u een MPEG2 licentie activeren. Via de volgende website kunt u deze licentie aankopen: http://www.raspberrypi.com/license-keys/ Op alle MCW streamers die u bij MediaCenterWorld kunt kopen is deze licentie uiteraard al aangekocht en ingevoerd. Als u een ander apparaat heeft waarop deze licentie nog moet worden ingevoerd google dan op de tekst: “MPEG2 licentie in XBMC invoeren” en u vindt voldoende informatie hoe u dat moet doen. Hierna kan op elk apparaat waar XBMC op staat en dat met een *vaste* internetverbinding is aangesloten Live-TV, TVOpnamen en TV-Recording worden geactiveerd. De configuratie hiervoor wordt hieronder “stap voor stap” uiteengezet en behoefd weinig verdere uitleg………………

10


Vanaf Kodi 15 wordt deze stap als volgt vermeld: “Mijn Add-ons/PVR Cliënten”

11


Geef hier het “vaste” IP-adres van de TV-Server op. De server MOET een vast IP-adres hebben, dus regel dat via jou router of geef de server lokaal een vast IP-adres.

12


Klik op “Inschakelen”

Zet Live-TV “aan” door het te activeren. Hierna zal een re-boot nodig zijn en het komt soms voor dat de procedure “deels” herhaalt moet worden (!)

13


Nu zouden alle TV functies moeten werken !

Meer uitleg over de configuratie is te vinden op de wiki: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Add-on:PVR.WMC
