One of the channels that I can see when I navigate to settings>channels is 11.1, KTVT-DT. It's the Dallas/Fort Worth local CBS affiliate. If I open the desktop app and look at its TV Guide, this channel appears. Similarly, when I launch Kodi, the channel appears in its guide. However, when I look at the guide in the web app, it doesn't appear. I just generated a set of logs, which are attached.
This is not a big deal for me, since I only rarely use the web app for anything other than adjusting settings, generating logs, and checking to see if programs I've scheduled have been recorded. In particular, I seldom use the web app for TV viewing. Having noticed it, though, I thought I'd mention it to the team here.
I am new to NextPVR and was setting up extra-locast. Everything seem to setup fine. I can see the channels and program guide, but when I go to click on a show I get "Failed to start requested stream". Based off of other help given in this forum I ran "C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data\scripts\locast\locast.bat" 1077. This gave me the following
Namespace(format='smart', tune='1077', base=None, stream=False, reverse=False, default=None)

two UI update errors:
if you go to TV Guide and do a "record once" for a program (in my case "Molukkers in Nederland....") it turns red and it starts recording... so far so good. But if you then cancel the recording, for example after a few minutes from the same TV guide UI page, the color stays red in the TV Guide. I had to manually refresh (F5) the page to return to normal grey on black color. So thats the first UI error.
But if you click on the same program again it still thinks its recording since only the button "cancel recording" is visible (and Close button) and Watch Now button if program is still airing. This is the second UI error.
I made sure the recording was not still running by checking:
-tuner status from NextPVR settings
-tuner status in HDHomeRun
-the recording file was not getting bigger
In the second screen below you see after I cancelled the recording AND did a refresh.
The first screen below is when you thereafter click on the program. Notice the "Cancel Recording" button still visible while recording is not running anymore (also when waiting for like 10 minutes).

I would like to confirm that this issue it unique to NextPVR software before I follow up with TBS.
so far, I have tested on the same machine with DVBViewer and I can confirm recording 2+ simultaneously.
Please let me know if you need any other info to help diagnose the problem.
Kodi 19 + Simple IPTV client addon with timeshift enabled
NextPVR Mac Server + Kodi 19 + NextPVR client addon with timeshift enabled
Switching channels seems to be much faster and smoother when Simple IPTV is enabled as the backend instead of NextPVR.
Knowing that both clients use the Kodi Inputstream FFmpeg Direct plugin for timeshift, why is there a significant difference between the two? Also, Real time works perfectly with the NextPVR client so it doesn't seem like a server issue.
