I'm replacing my RPi LibreELEC setup with a small PC running Linux Mint 22 and I've noticed a difference in the (JSON?) files which have the details of recordings.
RPi 3B
LibreELEC 11.0.6
TVHeadend 4.2.8-36
Kodi 20.3
data files stored in
~/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.tvheadend42/dvr/log
PC
Linux Mint 22
Tvheadend 4.3.0~pre+202408281511-0~built202408281847~gitdd82541c4~ubuntu24.04.1
Kodi 20.5
data files stored in
/var/lib/tvheadend/dvr/log
I've set the PC up the same as the RPi as far as possible, by working through the tabs of the web interface and duplicating the settings but the data file on the PC is missing a description. For example:
File on RPi
"channelname": "BBC TWO",
"title": {
"eng": "Golf: Solheim Cup Highlights"
},
"subtitle": {
"eng": "Highlights from Virginia of the opening day of the Solheim Cup, the most prestigious team tournament in women's golf, as Europe and the USA go head to head. Also in HD. [S]"
},
"description": {
"eng": "Highlights from Virginia of the opening day of the Solheim Cup, the most prestigious team tournament in women's golf, as Europe and the USA go head to head. Also in HD. [S]"
},
File on Linux Mint:
"channelname": "BBC TWO",
"title": {
"eng": "Golf: Solheim Cup Highlights"
},
"subtitle": {
"eng": "Highlights from Virginia of the opening day of the Solheim Cup, the most prestigious team tournament in women's golf, as Europe and the USA go head to head. Also in HD. [S]"
},
The result is that Kodi now just shows the programme title, whereas when there's a description field in the file, Kodi displays that as well as the title.
Is the omission of a description intentional, or just an omission in the code in 4.3.0 ?
