I have installed NextPVR Version: 6.1.2.230502 on my Windows 10 PC and whenever I minimize the Desktop App after about 30 seconds the CPU usage goes up to almost 25% which represents an entire core which has been frozen on my computer. If I bring the app back up to the Desktop again the CPU usage goes back down to 0% within a few seconds, but goes up again after about 30 seconds if I minimize it once more.
The NextPVR Desktop App always does this when minimized when nothing is playing with or without my Hauppauge WinTV-dualHD DVBT Tuner stick being plugged in or not. When it is playing back Live TV CPU usage is next to nothing when minimized, so there is an issue when NextPVR is idle, minimized and not being used.
I've tried using the Desktop App after a clean reboot and installing all Windows 10 updates with everything else closed but it still freezes the CPU when minimized, so I doubt that it is a conflict with other software.
Otherwise it Next PVR is working properly, except for a few minor gripes where video playback on the Web App is constantly dropping out audio, freezing and stuttering once or twice every 15 to 30 seconds, with or without NVDIA hardware encoding enabled, which is extremely annoying and why I am using the Desktop App for all TV viewing. Also the Desktop app seems unable to play back .mp4 video files, or mp3 audio files which are contained in my video folders. It will only play back .ts transport streams. But if these are converted to .mp4 (using Avidemux) it refuses to play them while other video apps such as VLC Player or SMPlayer will. But these are not the issues that I am most concerned about since I use other software for video playback and music.
The older NextPVR 4.2.5 which I have installed on my Windows 7 computer does not freeze the CPU when minimized using exactly the same USB tuners and drivers. Therefore high CPU usage when minimized seems to be an issue with version 6.1.2.230502 and possibly previous 6.x versions.

Hello everyone,
I would like to say I have been around the block a few times with port forwarding but am having an issue with port forwarding the android app to work outside of my local network.
The app works find on the local network with local ip:8866. When I when I try to do the same outside of the local network WAN:8866 it fails.
I have searched the forum and think I have done everything I have read.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
I'm using nextpvr with jellyfin which I share with family. I have more connection with my provider than nextpvr allows. Sometimes especially watching sports events, The 32 limit becomes an issue.
While I can bypass nextpvr, jellyfin isn't as stable because if multiple clients are watching the same channel and the first client that connects quits, The stream closes for all other clients too.
Just wondering if there is any interest in a mod to the EPG Update settings to change from a fixed time every day to a random time between a start and finish window (or start time and duration).
This is with a view to spreading the load on EPG servers who might be getting hammered because folks might be selecting the same time as everyone else e.g. 3:00AM. OzTivo wiki page about random loading
I guess I could try to figure out how to implement a random delay in my UpdateEPG.bat and just set the update time in NextPVR to the start time, but I thought this might be a good feature for others to use.
This is related to the below issue which I'm facing in Kodi when artwork downloading is enabled in the add on. I was wondering if channels icons can be used as a fallback when there is no artwork, and/or if images from guide XMLTV files can be used.
At least twice in the last week my pc said that NPVR Backend was preventing a restart of the machine because it was recording, but it wasn't recording and there wasn't a recording scheduled to start soon. Logs zipped and attached.
I have recently been having issues with the TV guide having random holes.
I could have today, and the day after tomorrow be fine but have half a dozen missing blocks tomorrow.
Manually running the EPG update would give me different numbers of items updated, between about 3.6k and 3.9k.
