pvr.hts - Command subscribe failed: Stream setup error

Tent Icle

Hi there,

I am running Kodi master with pvr.tvh 2.0.1 and Tvheadend 3.9.2316 and am having issues watching live TV via the Kodi GUI.

What works properly: Selecting 'Live TV -> EPG -> Record' via the Kodi GUI. I am then able to watch the program after it has recorded. I am also able to watch live TV via both VLC and the TvhClient iOS app.

What doesn't work: Selecting 'Live TV -> Channel' or 'Live TV -> EPG -> Switch' via the Kodi GUI in order to watch live TV. I received the error 'Channel could not be played. Check the log for details'. The behaviour is the same for all channels and all programs. Log output is as below:

Does anyone have any thoughts on what 'command subscribe failed' could mean or how I might investigate further?

Thanks!,

I'm getting the same issue, and it just started recently. Recording works fine, and I can watch a recorded show a few seconds after recording starts. When I try to watch live TV, I get a "command failed - no response received" error and I have to restart TVHeadend before anything will work again.

I'm not sure how much traction we'll get here, as I'm guessing it's a Kodi / TVH add-on problem.
