Error Plugin - Ubuntu18 Kodi18
Can you help with this error I can see in kodi.log NOTICE: [xbmcswift2] Request for "/record_once/170635/blah/blah" matches rule for function "record_once" 08:59:21.017 T:140090508642048 ERROR: GetDirectory - Error getting plugin://plugin.video.iptv.recorder/record_once/170635/blah/blah
Can you "Play Channel" reliably from the addon? Did "Record Once" make a python job file in userdata\addon_data\plugin.video.iptv.recorder\jobs ?
This is stderr in folder you advised. At a quick glance it looks like an escaping error. I have removed some sensitive stuff

That looks like it is almost working. ffmpeg runs and it can work out the stream type. The output folder and file are incorrect though. /storage/Other/removed programme name and channel 2018-07-29 09-50.ts: No such file or directory
The ts file path needs to be accessible to ffmpeg as a normal shell path. As it is a local path, not network, it might be as simple as setting the write permission of the /storage/Other directory to whatever user account Kodi is running under.
Your password might be in the py file on the 4th line. You should delete it if it is.
Think have removed... I will check permissions, I know kodi user is set, but maybe ffmpeg is not running as kodi user
Check if you can run ffmpeg on the command line if you join the cmd = [" " ... ] arguments together.
Are there any non-ascii characters in the ts filename that are getting interpreted as part of the command?
Ok the problem is that ffmpeg does not create the missing directory, I set to use /storage, but the output path was /storage/Other/filename.ts..... if i manually create the Other directory it works. I presume the "Other" directory is part of the filename creation you made?
And I also think you are missing the quotes in the ffmpeg command, eg -c copy 'filename', but I do not know how Python picks up the string for sure.
So maybe the python script firsts needs to create a directory if not existing?
That's good that it works.
The subprocess.Popen(cmd...) call properly quotes all the arguments and filenames. It does a good job as far as I've experienced so far.
The "ffmpeg recordings folder" setting isn't required unless ffmpeg uses a different path than Kodi. That usually only means a network path like in the example: "smb://server/path/ = \server\path".
I should make that clearer in the Settings really. I'm not sure how to put it. Any ideas?
When you select the "Kodi recordings folder" that folder has to exist, so I didn't add any code to create the directory.
I added a couple of labels that might help. https://github.com/primaeval/plugin.video.iptv.recorder/commit/c383c7eae2694fcc60f15adc291a84b4c618c320
The "Other" subfolder does get made but it uses the "Kodi Recordings Folder" setting because it is made within Kodi rather than in the shell with ffmpeg. https://github.com/primaeval/plugin.video.iptv.recorder/blob/e9c81c7eb626f6bdf1845eb4f964d407f455df96/main.py#L603
