I happy to announce the beta release of a new Windows client for the NextPVR backend. For more information please checkout the test wiki https://github.com/emveepee/Testing/wiki/yauiclient
Given that there over a dozen clients for NextPVR you may wonder why this is necessary. For many of you it isn't and for Windows you should stick with NextPVR.exe or NLite if they work with for you. Where most clients are most lacking is Windows support for AC-4 audio from ATSC 3.0 available from the Flex 4K
Additionally the new client uses libmpv which provides opportunity to provide support for new media types and features not in other client. The one that I find most interesting right now is multi session support as explained on the wiki. If you want the sports bar feel or like watching multiple video streams together it can be fun. I find it better than PIP especially on the big screen
If there is enough interest I can also expend on the media types available in the Video Library.
