PVR.MythTV: Unable to select ATSC subchannels

[danielwlewis]

I am using MythBuntu as a TV server with PVR.MythTV as my client in OpenElec 5.0.6. I can see all the ATSC subchannels listed in the EPG, such as 9.1, 9.2, 9.3. However, when I try to change the channel to 9.2 or 9.3, it instead changes to 9.1.

What's very interesting is that it will change properly (to 9.2 or 9.3) the first time I try to change channels. However, subsequent attempts always revert to 9.1. By "first time", I mean (1) after reboot, or (2) after waking from sleep, or (3) after selecting "TV" from the main menu after having used some other main menu selection.

It's as if every time the MythTV PVR client is loaded, there is something that is initialized once, modified when a channel is selected, and then never re-initialized. Weird.

BTW, I don't think this used to happen with one of the older 4.x releases of OpenElec.

This feature is new in Kodi 14. Channel select could has a bug, i don't know yet. You could try the latest version of the addon: http://janbar.github.io/pvr.mythtv/download/index.html

Hi Janbar,

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, installing version 1.12.10 made no difference.

Same problem with 1.12.11 too.

One more thing I've noticed: If I always stop the live TV that's in progress before trying to select an ATSC subchannel, then it seems to work. However, if I view the EPG while live TV is playing on (say) channel 9.1 and try to change to channel 9.2, then it simply returns to 9.1.

'Hope that helps.
